I fully agree with the statement that for achieving personal happiness our relat
ionships are the paramount importance. Every one strives for happiness and I am
no exception.
Family members are the ones with whom we spend major portion of our lives and so
they do. They are our number one supporters in this world. We love them the mos
t and vice versa. They are closest in relation to us. We must have very strong r
elationship with our family members.
Friends occupy positions of extreme importance in our lives. Friends can have gr
eat influence over many areas of our emerging identity. Our choice of music, mov
ies, clothes, boyfriends or girlfriends, classes, jobs, and so on. In some case,
it doesnâ t stop here; it also covers the personal standards of behavior, our perf
ormance, morals and values. This makes it especially important for us to maintai
n good friendship.
Furthermore, identical to friends, colleagues also have a great influence on our
lives even if they don't realize it, just by spending time with us. We learn fr
om them, and vice versa. It's only human nature to listen to and learn from othe
r people. Colleagues can have a positive influence on each other. Colleagues bui
ld a sense of trust, respect, and mutual support and they are no different than
friends.
In conclusion, key to building strong relationships with family, friends and col
leagues, our interpersonal communication is a paramount importance and â Top Priori
tyâ . However all other issues like business work and wealth get second priority. I
nterpersonal communication skills gives greater self confidence; one can win the
heart of his or her dream partner, or save the marriage, one can manage the sta
ff and deal with people outside of the organization and achieve personal happine
ss.
