INTER PERSONAL SKILLS - TIPS

1. Keep skid chains on your tongue; always say less
than you think. Cultivate a low, soothing voice.
How you say it counts more than what you say.

2. Make promises sparingly, and keep them faithfully,
no matter what it costs.

3. Never let an opportunity pass to say a kind and
encouraging word to or about somebody. Praise good
work, regardless of who did it. If criticism is needed,
criticise helpfully, never spitefully.

4. Be interested in others, their pursuits, their work, their
homes and families. Make merry with those who rejoice;
with those who weep, mourn. Let everyone you meet,
however humble, feel that you regard him as a person of
importance.

5. Be cheerful. Don't burden or depress those around you
by dwelling on your minor aches and pains and small
disappointments. Remember, everyone has their problems.

6. Keep an open mind. Discuss but don't argue. It is
a mark of a superior mind to be able to disagree
without being disagreeable.

7. Let your virtues speak for themselves. Refuse to
talk of another's vices. Discourage gossip. It is a
waste of valuable time and can be extremely destructive.

8. Be careful of another's feelings. Wit and humour at
the other person's expense are rarely worth it and may
hurt when least expected.

9. Don't be too anxious about the credit due to you. Also, pay
no attention to any ill-natured remarks about you either.
Simply live your truth. Let go & let God! Success is much
sweeter that way.
