Please Be Down To Earth
Written by Anurag Bhateja on July 14, 2009 – 12:18 pm -Self respect and self esteem are no doubt, a very important part of our life. Being a good human being and respecting yourself before anyone else is quite difficult and is a hectic job to do. Even if you have spent a lot of years working, sometimes it’s very hard to judge that what amount of ego will be good to show off. Ego basically is not a problem but in many cases it gets out of limit.
When you are dealing with someone, no matter it is professional or personal, there are some common facts which, if taken care of, can be very helpful in developing a strong impression on the mind of the person listening to you. When you are talking to someone, no matter online or offline, the first thing you should take care of is to greet. It is very important to greet the person you are talking to in a proper way. By proper way I mean if s/he is a client or friend or just a new contact, there are ways and certain norms for greeting. For e.g. you should not say “Zinda hai” or “Still alive?” to the person you are starting conversation with even if s/he is a very close friend. This shows your hate for them.
Secondly, if the person in front of you is not very well known to you, tell him/her about you, your name, profession and location. It will be good to know which language suits both of you for proper conversation. Telling the name first while calling someone even if you are sure s/he must have saved your number is a good gesture to follow.
Do not only speak, listen too. Sometimes to show our knowledge, unknowingly, we do not let the others speak and express their views. In this case the impression in the person’s mind will fall. It is said “To ruin the impression is very easy but to get it back to a good level can take 100’s of good deeds.” Do not be a bad listener. If you think you have the right to speak, it’s your duty to listen.
Another thing you should keep in mind is that “the trees with fruits bend with humility”. Try to be as nice as you can to the person you are dealing with. You never know when s/he can be a big help to you. This world runs on only one rule i.e. “I scratch your back and you scratch mine.” Be helpful, be nice and be down to earth. Never show over confidence and ego where it is not required.

should never be arrogant and feel higher than others because they will apply the law of karma. Remember in the sky there is heaven.
