I fully agree with the statement that for achieving personal happiness our relationships are the paramount importance. Every one strives for happiness and I am no exception.

Family members are the ones with whom we spend major portion of our lives and so they do. They are our number one supporters in this world. We love them the most and vice versa. They are closest in relation to us. We must have very strong relationship with our family members.

Friends occupy positions of extreme importance in our lives. Friends can have great influence over many areas of our emerging identity. Our choice of music, movies, clothes, boyfriends or girlfriends, classes, jobs, and so on. In some case, it doesn’t stop here; it also covers the personal standards of behavior, our performance, morals and values. This makes it especially important for us to maintain good friendship.

Furthermore, identical to friends, colleagues also have a great influence on our lives even if they don't realize it, just by spending time with us. We learn from them, and vice versa. It's only human nature to listen to and learn from other people. Colleagues can have a positive influence on each other. Colleagues build a sense of trust, respect, and mutual support and they are no different than friends.

In conclusion, key to building strong relationships with family, friends and colleagues, our interpersonal communication is a paramount importance and “Top Priority”. However all other issues like business work and wealth get second priority. Interpersonal communication skills gives greater self confidence; one can win the heart of his or her dream partner, or save the marriage, one can manage the staff and deal with people outside of the organization and achieve personal happiness.
