*Greetings of Vinayak Chaturthi to you and your family! Five 'Self-Development' lessons from Lord Ganesha*

1. Duty is above everything. Lord Ganesha did not let his own father enter the abode when Mata Parvati had instructed him not to let anyone in, even if he had to lose his head in the bargain.

2. Focus on your work. Do not stop doing your work, even if you dont have the necessary tools. Just as how Lord Ganesha broke one of his tusks to write the Mahabharata as sage VedaVyasa was dictating it.

3. Ganesh is obstacle remover विघ्नविनाशक - so we should always endeavour to remove obstacles and not be bogged down by them. Use them as enablers instead.

4. His vehicle is mouse, a tiny creature- so never care about what your vehicle or medium is- what counts is your purpose not vehicle.

5. Be comfortable in your own skin and be proud of who you are. Ganesha never questioned his Elephant head and was happy the way he was!

Active listening is an important part of your communication skill set because it encourages openness, honesty, and success. When you pay attention to your conversation partner, you show that person they are being heard, thus building trust and making that person feel like their words matter to you. The benefits of active listening affect the speaker as well as you. Attentive listening makes for better living and working environments. It cuts down on miscommunication, facilitates conflict resolution and problem-solving, and generates a more positive atmosphere for sharing.Active listening is an important part of your communication skill set because it encourages openness, honesty, and success.
