What Do Interpersonal Skills Have To Do With It?

How do our behaviors and attitudes cause us to interact with others; to help ourselves better prepare for success in life which will include participation in a career as well as social obligations and social “wants”, which are happy chosen events within our own lives that we want to participate in.

Interpersonal skills, what do they include? Habits, attitudes, manners, and the outside appearance (clothing, hygiene habits, and awareness of the physical/emotional self and of others), and behaviors we have while around people; these behaviors do affect how other people will interact with us. At times we do not realize just how important these interpersonal skills really are. It's easy to look down on others and to have a smug attitude about people who for some unknown reason lack interpersonal skills. Is this not the correct time to look within ourselves to better understand our selves? When we understand ourselves we are better equipped to understand others and then we become more well mannered; is this not logical?

We need to understand why/ how our behaviors and attitudes cause positive/negative reactions with others. This information will only help us better prepare for success in life.

We want our company to be wanted by others, to have people enjoy us and trust us. We want others to know our word is good.
These attitudes/views that others have about us must be earned through being the best we can be consistently at all times - day in and day out.

While these interpersonal skills should be taught right from the get-go in life– they hold hands with manners as they go for their daily walks - it is never too late to learn them and incorporate them into daily life. The easiest step you can take to instill these attributes is to begin with the first golden rule of manners: "to treat others as we want to be treated."

This rule never has nor will it ever go out of vogue. Being marvelously well-mannered helps one live a good and happy life. Pure and simple.
