Abstract :
Nowadays professionalism emerges in all fields of trades and careers. It is not exaggerating to advocate good professional communication as a necessary means to the future success of any society. Unfortunately many professionals find obstacles in their communication. One effective way to soften such difficulties is to obtain insights from objects in our surrounding. This paper utilizes a decorative handicraft that is a six-piece Chinese jigsaw puzzle as an illustration. The puzzle inspires learners about features of good professional communication. The six pieces of the puzzle are analyzed and synthesized for knowledge of wisdom. Through the observation of analogy among systems, professionals can be induced with new strategy and mission.
