Be it a mother, daughter, sister, grandmother, an aunt or be it a father, son, brother, a grandpa or just a simple friend and neighbor next door. Whatever role you play, and how many ever. How well have you been playing your roles in keeping your relationships successful? What is that one small mantra or one little secret that you follow to keep the relations healthy and flourishing? Is it so hard to make a relationship and very easy to break them later? What would be your say? Share the message you want to spread to help me or anyone keep or play our roles better in future. I am every little good thought will make great difference. It is only drop by drop that an ocean is formed.

Hi there!
While playing different roles, I feel I need to be considerate and compassionate towards others. I need to see the things from their angle and if am in their shoes. I do not forget to appreciate their good deeds and gestures which make me smile.
I care about them as much as I can. Nonetheless, I know I can not be perfect as am a normal human being.

I play the role of a son, brother, father, husband, friend and a colleague (in office) and as I mentioned earlier my attitude remains the same irrespective of the role am playing.
As far as commenting on the happiness aspect is concerned from the angle of others, it is difficult for me to say something. I do my best thereafter what they think about me is their outlook. I can not change their perception about me. If they think am good or bad, it is entirely up to them. (I mentioned about perfectness in the context that even if I play any of my roles to the best of my ability, I may not be able to satisfy the other party)
.
Hope am making sense? If not let me know.

What i think is that a relationship is a one2 one exchange of thoughts, feelings and expressions. If one side fails, the other fails on it's own. It's like a silk thread that has to carry thousands of tonne of weight without any tension in it. What you say...

i am succeed in keepng a good friends and colleague relationship, and i think being simple and honest is the key. i am a simple man and never deceive the others, you can know all about me from my face, so all my friends say it's easy to get along with me. but a surprised thing: i can not get long well with my husband.maybe also because the simple character, my husband is a sailor, so he communicate with people with a purpose. we will ofen misunderstand each other. i am upset of that.

Honestly, I don't feel that i have become really successful in all the roles that I am in. Everyday is a new lesson learned and I try to live with those new lessons by heart. I am hoping that in time, I can happily say that i have achieved success in becoming the great wife, mother, daughter and sister.

Life is short, but yes it definitely gives you a very long and big opportunity to survive and prove yourself in your relationships. I feel since we are born until we die, what never apart's from us are relationships. We perform something on every walk and you can be successful on them i am sure :) thanks for responding.

Playing the role of a girlfriend, I might say that I'm successful in a way that I have wonderful boyfriend. And I guess that's it! :)

I don't know if I have been successful to any role I play in my life, sister, friend, lover, teacher, companion.. I don't know. maybe, I could just say that nothing has left me so far. I am glad to share that fact to you. I know I am doing my best to wear the hats of different roles. If not, then I can not do no more because I have done the all.. extract everything of my strength, energy and effort.

I think I play an excellent role as a model son, I have never given my parents any sleepless nights (to my knowledge) never been involved in the police, and have always been a son a parent can be proud off, I've done nothing shocking. I respect my parents, I just wish my father respected and cared for me, but I cannot change him, I can only change myself. In any relationship it is important to understand that we keep our principles, be honest, trusting and respect. But I know this can be difficult if the other person doesn't do the same.

I'm doing my best in all of my roles but I'm trying to do better in each one. With regards to being a wife I'm working on supporting my husband, trying to be submissive 
, and putting his needs before mine. With regards to being a mother I'm working on spending more time with my daughter. We only have twenty four hours in a day so I would like to keep improving in these different roles.

I am a daughter and a sister and I believe I am successful in these roles I play in life. I obey my parents because i know that they know what's best for me though sometimes we are having misunderstandings, I still love and respect them because I owe my life to them. As a sister, I take care of my siblings and I teach them the things that they have to learn. If they do any wrong, i don't tolerate them and I assume the role of a second mother because our parents are away. In order to maintain a good relationship with my family, I always respect and love them though I do not say that I love them, I show this through actions.

In any relationship, communication is key. With communication there is understanding. And with understanding comes a better appreciation of everyone's contribution to the family.
