While talking about soft skill I recalled a story once I read somewhere.
An old Cherokee was teaching his grandson about life.
He said to the boy: -“A fight is going on inside me. It is a tremble fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego”.
“The other – he continued – is good, he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.”
“The same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.” – said the old man.
The grandson then asked his grandfather: “And, which wolf will win grandpa?”
“The one you feed, my son!” – simply replied the old Cherokee.
Well, I think that this is just what soft skill is about. It is about feeding and training the ‘good wolf’, showing kindness and being gentile toward the others, being patient and listening to them, giving pleasure to them wile they communicate with you, smiling with everyone around you and radiating respect, understanding and pleasure.
