Be Unique ;)

   Interpersonal skills are the life skills we use every day to communicate and interact with other people, both individually and in groups.  People who have worked on developing strong interpersonal skills are usually more successful in both their professional and personal lives. 
Why is it that some people's discussions end in argument while others may discuss the same topic and end their discussion in a friendly manner?  It has everything to do with the skills of holding a discussion.
For instance, when two people deliver the same speech with the same words, you find that among the audience of the first person someone is sleeping, another is playing with his cell phone.  Whereas the audience listening to the second person are listening attentively to the speech, such that they cannot even blink an eyelid.  It has everything to do with oratory skills.  More over when so and so speaks in gathering, everyone listens to him attentively and focuses on him, whereas when someone else speaks, they began to talk about other issues or start reading their text messages (playing with their cell phones).  So it has to do with verbal communication.
Further more, and a more common issue that we as students and teachers perceive at schools, is when one school teacher walks through the corridor, all the students gather around him, one shaking his hand, another asking his advice, and yet another one complaining about a problem;  if that teacher were to sit in his office and allow the students to enter, it would be filled with students in seconds.  While another teacher walks through the corridor by himself, no students approaches him to shake his hand, or to take an advice, or to complain about a problem.  And if that teacher were to leave his office open from sunrise to sunset, no one would ever come to it.

 It has everything to do with "Interpersonal Skills".

One person enters a public, and everyone smiles at his face and feels joy at meeting him, everyone wishes to sit with him and talk to him.  However another person walks in and gets cold handshakes, he then looks for a place to sit but cannot find a person who gives him any space or calls him to sit next to him.

It has everything to do with the "Techniques of Attracting and Influencing others".

There are so many issues to talk about concerning this topic fro instance, when a father enters his house and his children smile at him with joy, whereas another father comes to see his children but they do not even turn to knowledge his presence.

It is all to do with the "Skills of Dealing with Children".

People differ from each other in terms of their Interpersonal Skills, and the way they are treated by others.  So influencing people and earning their love is easier than one can imagine.
