Special October 1999 Issue Competition Success Review.

People Are Your Most Important Asset

Dear Friend,


From your very birth till your last breath, you live with and among people.    One is always surrounded by people unless he or she opts to take 'sanyas' and choose to live all by oneself in high mountains or thick jungles.  People with whom we act and interact may be young or old, relatives or friends, men or women, clients or customers seniors or juniors or colleagues, countrymen or strangers.  As our life revolves around people, our success and happiness are greatly dependent on them.  Therefore, one who can gain the confidence and win the willing cooperation and support of others, alone can lead and succeed.

Getting along with people is not all that difficult.  If you are genuinely interested in others, they in turn will take and show interest in you.  If you truly like others, they in turn will take to you in a big way.  People being our most important asset, we must invest in them and help them to help us.  To get what you want, you must first give what the other person wants.  To have a friend, you must be a friend first.

A winning personality has genuine interest in, and sincere liking for, other people.  Sincerity is the big secret in getting others to go along with us.  It is the magic word that makes our personality sizzle rather than fizzle.  To win a man to our cause, we must first convince him by words and deeds that we are his sincere friends.  We must prove that we are not selfish and self-centered but are equally concerned and conscious of his needs, hopes and aspirations.  If there is one secret of success, it is the ability to get the other person's point of view and see things from his angle as well as your own. 

A cheerful, considerate and helpful person, instantly attracts the attention of others and establishes ready rapport with them. Action always speaks better than words and a pleasant smile proclaims.  "I like you, you make me happy and I am glad to meet you.  A genuine smile at once attracts a return smile.  It is sunshine to the sad and daylight to the discouraged.  With your pleasing smile and your friendly handshake you can tell others that you are very much interested in them.

The royal road to a man's heart is to talk to him about himself and the things he treasures most.  He is million times more interested in himself than in you or me.  Encourage him to talk about himself, his accomplishments  his wants and his aspirations.  Ask questions which he will enjoy answering.  Listen with interest and enthusiasm.  Never interrupt or contradict.  Never criticise  or discourage.

Good understanding and prosper appreciation make people more important than anything else; we can give them that when we start to appreciate, it forces us to think of the other person and compels us to recognise his importance.  Let us not wait till somebody does something big to show appreciation.  Let us, instead, start looking for things we can appreciate in people we meet, move with and deal with.  Let us, instead, start looking for things we can appreciate in people we meet, move with and deal with.  Let us become the kind of persons that others enjoy being around with.  Let us work with, and not against, people.  Let us make others part of our team, and let the team, and let the team win and crown itself with success.

Enabling you to get along well with people and win.

                                                                                                   
                                                                                                    Yours sincerely,
