Chinanes, Beijing, November 20 – According to a joint1 survey by the Social Investigation2 Center of China Youth Daily and the news center of Tencent.com, 76.9% of the 5,211 respondents, all being youths in their 20s, believe the society needs chutouniao (“leading birds”) who dare to take risks to show their worth, although, as the Chinese saying goes, “the leading bird gets shot first” or “one who takes the lead usually bears the brunt of an attack”

 

About 58.2% of the respondents think that one has to work hard at all times, and one must know how to show off when the chance comes. 53% of them also believe that it is necessary to be aggressive sometimes.

 

“I wish my employees will let me know when they have achieved something,” said Liu Xueyuan, the president of a media company, as it is impossible for him to get acquainted3 with all his employees.

 

However, showing off too much is of course no good, either. “One who likes to show off one’s achievement will also be the first to be noticed when one makes a mistake,” said Liu. He suggested that the employees should do their jobs steadily4 and surely.

 

Although most respondents think chutouniao are necessary, not many of them like to hobnob with such persons. In fact, 65.9% of the respondents simply don’t like them, while 7.1% of the respondents expressed their detestation toward them

 

Confronted5 with the conflict between “needed by the society” and “disliked by fellow beings,” quite a large number of people have let slip chances. 59.6% of the respondents regret it.
