In this opportunity, I would like to share about the interpersonal skills. Do you know what is it? Interpersonal skills are the skills that always used by a person to do interact with people or with the others. Interpersonal skills are always needed for us to look for a good job. Also, those can be the way for us to be compatible with our work. In business area, interpersonal skills can be related with the employee’s ability to get along with people while doing the job. That is why, people with some good interpersonal skills can be important in their job. I want to explain how to build some interpersonal skills. Actually, those are many ways for us to have them, such as smiling, do not complain, and be empathy.
First of all, I want to explain about ‘smiling’. Sometimes, people do not know why they have to smile. When they already have a problem and get mad, they said that it is very impossible to do it. But actually, there are many advantages when we are smiling to others. Some researchers concluded that smile can reduce our stress and increase our happiness. Besides that, smile can increase our positive thinking and cheerful attitude. Because of that, a few people like to be around someone who always cheerful in his life.
Secondly, let me share about ‘not complaining’. Actually, complaining is allowed in our life, but it is not good when we do it every time we have a problem. We should not be a whiner and do complaining, because, it will not help to solve our problem and can increase our bad feelings. Moreover, complaining can increase our affections and waste affiction and waste out energy of thinking and our focus to do the right way. Being a whiner can make us in a bad reputation. So that, if we have any problem which need to be shared, we have to make sure that we talk is only to our family or our best friend who can keep our scret and give solution of that.
Thirdly, it is about ‘be empathy’ with the others. Empathy means that we can feel what the other’s feelings. It also means that we try to have a perspective way from the different side or from the other’s situation. When they have a problem, sometime they need to share it with the others. Empathy can increase people hope to be positive of their problems, and more, empathy can help people to feel that they are not the one who have a big problem. So that, empathy is very important in our life to make a good relation with the others.
The last, as the inference, to have a good interpersonal skill, we can try to do some ways, such as smile to others, not complaining, and to be empathy. These activities can improve our interpersonal skills day by day. If we do those constantly, we will reach these immediately.
