Ten Tips to Improve Human Relationships

The following article describes ten salient points that could harness and improve human relationships

1. Putting Yourself into others shoe

Most of the time we get agitated and annoyed when people react in an unprofessional /abrupt manner. At this juncture, if we could pause for a while and put ourselves in their shoes, we would be able to understand the other person’s criticality and invariably be prepared to forgive him and take forward.

2. Reducing Expectancy

We always get disappointed when people deliver much less than what we expected. It is these unrealistic expectations that could create a fissure in our relationships. So reduce the level of expectancy when it comes with people and this would ease the strain of the relationship.

3. Speak Positive about others

We often overlook this statement. The key to astounding relationships is to speak out the best about people with whom you work/related with.
More precisely it pays huge dividends when you appreciate people in public. This has a magical effect to improve Human Relationships.

4. Contribution during Problems

It would make sense to take a minute to introspect on how we were responsible for the problem. Taking personal ownership during problems, can take us a long way to ensure that people find comfortable to work/interact with us.

5. Smile
Smile Costs nothing but creates much. A warm and gentle smile when meeting people can make them their day. Even when we have nothing to say to someone, a simple smile can reinforce healthy ties and warm relationship.

6. Going Extra Mile

If we could move out from our current scope of work to help someone who is in need, it could create a binding force of cherishable relationship. The receiver has an automatic sense of gratitude and respect to such rare people of altruist class.

7. Empathizing and Compassion:

The world today is in need of people who would share compassion with the fraternity and empathize strongly during turbulent times. These qualities can make an individual who is in distress to come back to normalcy after the vent out.

8. Think twice before you speak:

Words spoken out from one’s mouth cannot be taken back. So it becomes increasingly important to think twice before speaking out. The Relationship could be at stake if the choice of words is handled inappropriately. This clause holds good mostly when one loses balance due to some other’s vehement reaction.

9. People are the Best Assets:

People are the best assets and each and everyone should try their level best to keep this in their mind to ensure that they take adequate, measures to sustain a relationship. Believe me it is easy to lose a relationship rather than fostering one. The power of relationship is often understood only during their absence. So do not miss and pay a heavy penalty.

10. Do not involve in Back Biting and Fault Finding

There is a popular saying that “If you want to make a friend your enemy, just tell him ‘He is wrong’ “No one would be generous enough to admit faults when his/her ego gets hurt. Also the habit of back biting can have a lethal effect in a sustaining relationship.


The above mentioned 10 tips when practiced with due diligence and commitment can win some wonderful and astounding relationships in work and personal life.

Happy Relationships ahead!!!
