Most underrated pleasures of one's life
One of the biggest drivers of good relationships in our lives is a developed level of understanding in those relationships. The relationships this understanding end up creating too much maintenance work. So it becomes more like luggage or at least something that needs attention or care rather than fun.
I realized it with a couple of friends of mine. Recently my "friend ecosystem" had a sudden change. A couple of them (leave) although I still have a couple around. I am also adding a couple of new ones.
The whole change made me thoughtful. I started to think about the cause of being better friends with some. It turns out that among the large number of other factors, one of the key ones is (understand). It can then be extended to personal and even business relationships.
While (hire) a key employee, one can be sure that it will work well if the other person enjoys and understands you well. It will be far (productive) as the relationship related maintenance is low and you can focus on actual output. It help you even when you are looking for funding partners, seed capital or business joint ventures (企业).
Finally, how do you ensure you are understood? To start with, make sure that the people who (matter) to you in any capacity like business, managerial, personal or family have an open relationship with you. Creating an open environment others can discuss constructive aspects or difficult discussion is important.
Being caring and respectful to and being truthful are two different things. Truthfulness is as important as being respectful and caring. In the long term, truthfulness will result in a caring relationship, you are understood well and have an open relationship, you can't be truthful.
When you get to that level with the person where you are completely understood, it will be an awesome feeling!
