Life's all about people - The power of relationships

"The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being" -Pearl S. Buick

The elevator is a wonderful idea It helps people to climb many man made mountains called skyscrapers. But life in the elevator is not the easiest. People enter into it as strangers and leave as strangers. People hardly make friends and develop meaningful relationships in the elevator. Most often they are careful not to touch each other with their bodies, talk less of their words. No one looks at anyone, no one speaks to anyone. Everybody's primary concern is when to disembark.
The elevator is one place where you can be lonely in the midst of others. A place people hardly share thoughts with one another.

Unfortunately, many people live their lives as though they are in that cubicle called the elevator. They live as if they have been immunised against any form of close and intimate relationship. Their lives are spent in isolation. Climbing the mountain of success requires that you develop meaningful and healthy relationships. Isolation is a potent killer.
Life is people. Don't live your life as if it's an elevator. Your destiny is hinged to the quality of relationships you are able to develop.

A man who is a master at human relations is priceless. Develop the habit of greeting people. Smiling at people, loving and sharing your life with people. Use every opportunity to cultivate meaningful relationships and strive to maintain same. Living a life of isolation can only render life impotent and meaningless.

Don't travel through life as a lone ranger. Don't climb your mountains alone. Life is people, without which you are limited. Things work better when you are connected.
