A person who really taught me an important lesson would be King Solomon described in the book of Eccelsiastes. King Solomon was described as being an extremely rich, powerful and wealthy king who had the power to obtain whatever his eyes desired. For example,  King Solomon took for himself 700 wives and 300 concubines, and all kinds of riches,  but despite all of the things he acquired and all the things he did with this wealth, near the end of his life,  he said he hated his life because all things he acquired were empty and meaningless. Therefore, I learned that money cannot buy happiness nor love.

After attending comm 299 over the 7 months, the most important thing I learned about myself, is my need for better communication skills. It is important to market yourself favorably, to develop a strong social network, to be a reliable friend to others and to have friends you can rely on. The key to doing these things effectively is to have a strong set of communication skills, and to be an empathetic and attentive listener.Whether it be trying to find a job, networking, making new friends, and even finding that romantic partner, having a strong set of communication skills is crucial indeed.
