9 TIPS ON INTERPERSONAL SKILLS

 

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.

 

Remain Blessed!
