subject: Career And Self-development: Helping Others And Yourself [print this page] When people want to do something nice, their efforts can be either appreciated or put under a question. If you see some skepticism on the faces of people that you want to help, you should not do that because you will fail to gain personal satisfaction due to their steady complaints. If you know that people will not complain but will not thank you either, you can make an attempt to satisfy your inner altruist. The easiest case, in this respect, is when you are asked to help or can see that those people are nice and would appreciate the least attempt.
Helping others
Try to help other as a part of your self-development strategy. This is not a joke! It is obvious that you should start every improvement from yourself but this is another case. When you help others, you have a chance to look inside you inner world and analyze the traits and skills that can be improved. In this respect, you can establish a set of rules to follow to improve your interpersonal skills as well as those required for your professional activity.
A self-improvement strategy
You can analyze yourself and make a decision concerning the most improved and the least improved skills. You can divide those skills and start working on your tolerance, friendliness, and objectiveness. The next stage can include your ability for compassion and a desire to help people. When you are sure about your interpersonal skills, you can improve those required for your professional career. You should attend training courses and develop your computer literacy. Software programs are available for various sectors including accounting and furniture design.
Improve yourself and try to help others if they need your assistance. Your interpersonal skills are related to the professional ones. So, establish a strategy and follow it.
