How to Be a Globally Qualified Talent Globalization helps the world to get linked together economically and culturally. In such a globalized world, no one can escape the impact of the economic and cultural globalization. There will be numerous chances and challenges, and how to adapt ourselves to the new situation and how to be a globally qualified talent has become an urgent problem we have to think about in order to meet the new challenges and succeed in the fierce international competition. Basically, I think three qualities are essential to become a globally qualified talent. First, it is the quality of adaptability and flexibility, that is, the ability to adapt to new circumstances and situations and to respond flexibly to different novel ideas and viewpoints. Second is cultural toughness, which means the ability to succeed in an alien culture. Last but not the least is self-esteem, self-confidence, and mental well-being. Only with these qualities, can one be qualified to come onto the international stage to play one’s role. Beyond that, we must work hard to acquire as much knowledge as possible to lay a solid foundation for our future career. It’s important for us to possess the outstanding qualities and rich knowledge, with them we are likely to win and succeed in the competition
