In today’s fast moving world we can come
across many successful people in their life who possess excellent interpersonal
relationship skills. We also come across a wide cross section of people who have
been at the top of the pyramid in their academic pursuits but vice versa in
their professional life. The reason is that they all lack what is known as soft
skills and Interpersonal skills.
The so called interpersonal skills are innate
and come from within right from child birth. Of course parental guidance and
their beliefs can influence a child in its formative years up to the age of
five. Beyond this age the child carries its own in-built system that it has
developed and carries it till death. On the other hand, with a great effort put
in by an individual one can develop soft skills such as oral and written
communication. There is an adage in Tamil language that says what you cannot
develop when you are Five years cannot be developed when you are Fifty.
We will try to unfold what makes a winner
tick by making a study of different people that we come across in our daily
life. Is it the Educational qualifications and the knowledge developed through
the years or the added interpersonal relationship skill which is the winning factor?
Gone are the days when subject knowledge was
given the maximum weightage by the interviewers. In today’s context people of
the interview panel look for your interpersonal skills and soft skills (Which
are given the maximum marks) in addition to your subject and general knowledge.
On a close review, we can come to a
conclusion that the ultimate winning factor is your soft skill and
interpersonal relationship that you maintain with others in the society as a
whole.
If you realize that something is lacking in
you, please take immediate action and develop the required skills in order to
achieve Success. I can suggest that this can be developed by constant practice
and by way of Auto suggestion. Practice makes a man tend to perfection.
Be blissful.
