ilence Is Not Always Gold "Silence is gold" is a popular saying in which many people hold belief. To these people speaking too much is not a good merit. However, if you always keep silent, you will probably miss many golden opportunities instead of obtaining the gold of silence. Last week I read an article written by an office lady. The company where she worked had two kinds of offices: cubicle office and window office. As a new employee she worked in a cubicle office together with twenty colleagues. Two years later she still worked there and some colleagues who joined in the company after her had moved into the window offices. She felt confused. One day one colleague who had a window office told her that window offices weren't given without request. But believing that she certainly would get one if she did a good job the woman had never asked for it. She finally realized that nowadays the company wouldn't voluntarily satisfy your needs. She greatly regretted the loss due to her silence. From the woman's experience we learn that silence is not always gold.In the modern society one needs to speak out his mind and speak for his own interest.
