How To Develop Interpersonal Skills..

TRUST

I believe all relationships are trust relationships, such as parentchild,
husband wife, student / teacher / friends. How can we have
trust without integrity? Crisis in trust really means crisis in truth. Trust results from being
trustworthy.
What are the factors that build trust?

¨ Reliability --gives predictability and comes from commitment.
¨ Consistency --builds confidence.
¨ Respect--to self and others gives dignity and shows a caring attitude.
¨ Fairness--appeals to justice and integrity.
¨ Openness--shows two-way traffic.
¨ Congruence--action and words harmonize. If a person says one thing and behaves
differently, how can you trust that person?
¨ Competence--comes when a person has the ability and the attitude to serve.
¨ Integrity--the key ingredient to trust.
¨ Acceptance in spite of our effort to improve we need to accept each other with our
pluses and minuses.
¨ Character--a person may have all the competence but if he lacks character he can't
be trusted.
Trust is a greater compliment than love. There are some people we love but we can't
trust them. Relationships are like bank accounts: The more we deposit, the greater they
become, therefore, the more we can draw from them. However, if you try to draw without
depositing, it leads to disappointment.
Many times we feel we are overdrawn but in reality we may be under deposited.

Some of the consequences of poor relationships and the lack of trust.
Stress Poor health
Lack of communication Distrust
Irritation Anger
Close-mindedness Prejudice
No team spirit Breakdown of morale
Lack of credibility Uncooperative behavior
Poor self-esteem Conflict
Suspicion Frustration
Loss of productivity Unhappiness
Isolation

Difference between a Public and a Private Company?

The different between a public and a private company is that a public company is one whose stock is traded by the public, e.g., listed on an exchange such as the NSE OR BSE.
A private company is one whose stock is generally held by one shareholder or a small group of shareholders.
Minimum number of members required to form a private company is 2, whereas a Public Company requires atleast 7 members.
Maximum number of members in a Private Company is restricted to 50, there is no restriction of maximum number of members in a Public Company.

Vodafone Ad

The above article is about the zoozoos-the innovative characters by vodafone,

Zoozoos Vodafone adsOn first look, these "zoozoos" in Vodafone TV ads may resemble animated cartoon characters with an alien look or simply a stupid egg-head character with disproportional white bodies and black dots for eyes and mouth.

These Zoozoo characters, in case you haven’t seen them yet, have been created by O&M for Vodafone to convey different value added services offered by the mobile phone company including phone Backup, cricket alerts, etc.

This was something which was created purely out of textbook and is totally an Indian idea. The characters are such that they lead simple lives, speak insane and incomprehensible language and move in a certain way with human emotions.

But the interesting part is that Zoozoos are not animated characters but are actually slim women actors from local Mumbai theatres, dressed in white costumes that are stuffed with foam to portray the characters.

Prakash Varma, who directed the Vodafone ZooZoo commercials, told Afaqs that they only had women – and occasionally children – as their main cast to keep the hands and legs thin of the Zoozoo characters.

zoozoo-ads

Such is the craze with Zoozoo that Vodafone ads are among the most watched videos on youtube and there are over 50,000 Zoozoo fans on Facebook Vodafone has an IPL microsite for quizzes and contests where one can know the kind of Zoozoo he or she is as each Zoozoo character has a unique set of characteristics and traits allotted to it. Fans may also download wallpapers and screensavers from the Zoozoo microsite.

It seems that the new Vodafone campaign, which is immensely popular during IPL ad-breaks, would make way for the departure of good old pug ‘Chitika’.

positive Thinking brings strength, energy and initiative

Thinking positively and acting on good constructive thoughts opens the path to our WELLNESS, which at best can be described as a state of mind.

Here is a Compilation to help you in rediscovering yourself: -

* Thank God for what you have, Trust God for what you need.

* God always gives his best to those who leave the choices with Him.

* Man looks at outward appearances but the Lord looks within.

* Anger is a condition in which the tongue works faster than the mind.

* You can’t change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying about the future.

* If you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for.

* Love and you shall be loved.

* All people smile in the same language.

* The hug is a great gift…one size fits all. It can be given for any occasion and it is easy to exchange.

* Everyone needs to be loved, especially when they do not deserve it.

* Laughter is God’s sunshine. Take time to laugh, for it is the music of the soul.

* Everyone has beauty but not everyone sees it.

* The real measure of man’s wealth is what he has invested in eternity.

* The choices you make today will usually affect your tomorrow.

* Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.

* Love is strengthened, by working through conflicts together.

* Harsh words break no bones but they do break hearts.

* The best thing the parents can do for their children is to love each other.

* To get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it.

* We take for granted the things that we should be giving thanks for.

* Love is the only thing that can be divided without being diminished.

* Happiness is enhanced by others but does not depend on others.

* Do what you can, for whom you can, with what you have, and where you are.

The happiest person does not have the best of everything in life. Perhaps he is just good in making the best of everything that life brings along his way.
A small poem can be your stimulant: -

Your Heart is your Love,
