We are born with some relationships and we develop some! If we look around, everything in life is driven by #relationship.

As a child it is about our relationship with our parents and family members. We think if they give us attention then it is strong otherwise its weak.
As we grow up its abt friends. There is a segregation of classmates, friends, best friend/ friends, boy/girl friend etc… and again we want to do maximum for the one who are special to us and believe that this will strengthen our relationship.
Post that comes relationship with husband/ wife, inlaws, cousins etc…
Further down the life as professionals. We question what drives work and business? Is it about quality of work or is it about relationship?? But isn’t work driven by relationships also? Clients who like you and your work will give you business, otherwise not. Managers who believe in you and like you will give you more growth and recognition.
The idea then is about understanding what is a relationship and how is it built? My observations on the same has been
  1. Relationships get built over time. People need to gain trust in you.
  2. It does not get driven by attention one receives but is about believe one has in that relationship with you and in you (personal/professional)
  3. Its not about having good times together but about sharing difficult times together (personal/professional)
On social media as well, virtual life also is about relationships! Its about people believing in you with the kind of info/ update you share, they trust you to be able to add some value to their time spent online.
So being professional does mean, being able to love and respect clients and business exchanged!
Relationships gives us love and learning that remains with us forever…
It’s for our soul which lives beyond life…
