Inter-Personal Skills

No body can really understate the importance of inter personal skills, and hence its prominence requires no elaboration.

However, one can either genuinely possess/ acquire good inter personal skills, or just fake it in times of need.

Fundamentally, one needs to know these, both intellectually as well as instictually:

1. Every human being is a special creation of God and no two human beings are alike.

2. Every person has some special, desirable trait. If you can learn to recognise this in every person and acknowledge him/ her about it, sincerely, and make them feel good about themselves, the same behaviour will be reciprocated back to you, by those around you.

3. LISTEN. This is probably the one skill most of us need to cultivate/ hone. If you can genuinely and ACTIVELY listen to the person in front of you, 99% of the time, you will be a darling to that person and people even go out of their way to help you, without realising so.

4. As you focus on becoming a better person day by day, and become more considerate to those around you, this particular aspect of your personality- your interpersonal skills, also sharpen, as a consequence.

5. EMPATHY: Do unto others as you would like it done unto you. Learn to put yourself in the other guy's shoes and think. You will then naturally master inter personal skills.
