Do you have the full confidence that you go well with everyone around, and don't irritate or interfere in others matters and make their life miserable for them?
If your answer is Yes, then you are wrong.
You can't run away from the truth. Of course you may carry a good certificate in office, among your friends or your social circle. But that does not mean that you have not troubled anyone. No doubt, no one is perfect in all aspects, but only a few numbers realize this fact. Each one has their flaws in their individual and collective life. The fact is that most of us knowingly or unknowingly annoyed or irritated others.
It may not be done knowingly to irritate somebody, but it happens sometimes automatically. This may happen especially when you are fully concentrating on your job and your colleague come and ask for some help or interrupts your concentration. Your immediate reaction may be a big NO, which can be taken as a rude response.
An individual's response or behavior can help or limit his capabilities. Some others are told that they are overbearing or moody may find it difficult to understand the reason. But a sensible and understanding person would take that opportunity to look inwards and correct his or her faults. But in many case just the opposite takes place. However it can be changed. But you have to take the initiative to find out how valuable you are to your colleagues. Look for clues to others reaction to your presence. Just make sure you make an objective evaluation because it is easy to misread what others really think about you.
Observe yourself in action
If your image needs improving, Do it right now.
Don't waste your time further.
If you are considered disagreeable, recast your performance.
Be cheerful. If you do it forcefully and often enough others will be forced to replace your old image with the new one. All the BEST.
Yes its always the false notion which we carry on with us hinder our improvement in life.
Thank you for reminding this wonderful truth. Yes we many times unknowingly do this which we quite often do not realize about the consequences. Thanks again. Matphil
