Success

Happiness
Can interpersonal Relations help us in
securing more success and happiness ?
Interpersonal Relations ~

Relations
arising from and issues relating to
people interacting with other people;

Skills required for improving

interpersonal relations.
Can you have

Success and Happiness

without developing

Interpersonal Relations

and all other related skills ?

Some background …
As we grow up,
we improve our skills
at communicating
our wants and needs,
our feelings and thoughts,
with our family members,
to begin with,
and the rest of the world,
over a period of time.
We also learn to interpret
other people's wants and needs,
feelings and thoughts,
so that we are aware of
how our behaviour
impacts on others.
We find that people
with good interpersonal skills
get along well,
with people, and circumstances.

They connect with

other people effortlessly,
they seem to know
the right things to say and
they generally succeed in
whatever they do.
We find that these people
are more comfortable
with themselves,
[ implying self-management ]
and hence, we find that
we are more comfortable
in being with them.
Interestingly, we find that
interpersonal skills
are one of those things
that you'll only really notice
when someone doesn't have them!

And, understandably,
if we are not good at these skills,
it is the others who first notice it.
The good news is that
It is possible for everyone of us
to develop really effective
interpersonal skills.

The question is,

are we aware of the need, and if so,
are we interested and committed to
improving our skills, continuously ?
 A commitment
to spend a little time
working on improving
your interpersonal skills
will pay huge dividends,
throughout your future life.

Once again,
the question is,
are you ready, and if so,
when are you going to begin ?
