I know that the subject of human nature is huge and is
something that I can’t even seem to touch with a blog. I want to talk about the human interactions
that we have amongst each other. Though
out the 20th century a lot of books and other forms of media have
tried to put this subject into a few chapters and to teach you how to use this
to be happier and to have great interactions.
I am not going to tell you some that I have read but in my short 31
years on this earth I have read a few as have most people in sales. These books mostly speak of the same things
over and over again as do most self-help books.
And I feel I can sum them up in a few points and I wanted to share those
today. I believe we do need to care
about how we interact with others in life and we should take time to become
better people when is comes to interacting with the people in and around our
life. You never know what interaction in
life can lead to something great either for you or someone else. Remember you don’t know where other people
are in their lives so use the golden rule in every interaction.
The first point that most every book about human
interactions talks about is listening. But
not just listening but actually hearing what others have to say. So many times we in life we are just waiting
for the other person to shut up so we can say what we want to say in reply. We are not actually listening to what they
are saying we assume what they are going to say by the first few words they
say. Just think if you could go into
every interaction with a fresh set of eyes and not draw conclusions on what
others have said to you. I believe this
is the most important not because they will say something different but because
everyone deserves to be heard in life. Just
like you people care more about what they are saying than anything else you can
say or do. People care about their problems
their issues not yours. But not only
that it is important to treat that person based on themselves and not based on
the past and how others have treated you or even how that person has treated
you in the past. Think about the friends
you say are the best friends in your life.
Think about their actions toward you?
Have you ever said that is a great friend he talks over me when I talk. That guy is my best friend because he knows
what he is going to say before I even finish my sentence. No you say that he is a great friend because
he listens to me and truly cares. He takes
time to hear what I have to say before he says anything. That is what a good friend does so why shouldn't we do that to everyone we meet.
Why shouldn't we treat everyone as a good friend in life? I think we should. That is the first point of human interaction I
have learned.
Stay tuned I will talk about the second one tomorrow. If I have internet lol
