One of The Most Easily Monetized Skills in Singapore

The Power of Mastering Language

I believe that most of us are awed by people who are the whole package. With regard to today's post, people who possess the 'whole package' are those who can speak well and write well.

Language is one of the most easily monetized skills.

The following are a list of benefits, that comes from speaking any one language well. Not even being Shakespeare, but just speaking a language well:

• You are able to convince people, because your statements make sense.
• You can at least appear professional, in almost any job
• You can read better, and you won’t be confused by complex e-mails, manuals, etc.
• There is an almost universal need for content (technical manuals, websites, scripts, etc.)
• There is a strong market for translation (especially Mandarin to English, or vice versa)

Language also has  the side-benefit of improving career options. It makes a better salesman, a potential copywriter, and a
fantastic liarfuture Public Relations expert.

The best part is, many companies are able to subsidise workplace literacy programs. You may end up paying the princely sum of $30 (after most subsidies) for the upgrade of a lifetime. Pick business English.

If your company doesn’t provide this course, enrol yourself.

Basically, what this author is saying is that a strong command of (any) language, particularly English Language, will get you further in life. After all, as aforementioned countless times, English IS the Lingua Franca.
Remember, the 'whole package' is important. You've got to 'look the part, speak the part and write the part'! Makes perfect and lucrative sense to hone your English language, right now! :) 

{A lingua franca (or working language, bridge language, vehicular language, unifying language) is a language systematically used to make communication possible between people not sharing a mother tongue, in particular when it is a third language, distinct from both mother tongues.^[1]Lingua francas have arisen around the globe throughout human history, sometimes for commercial reasons (so-called "trade languages") but also for diplomatic and administrative convenience, and as a means of exchanging information between scientists and other scholars of different nationalities.}
