It is said that knowledge is power. Keeping oneself updated in this high speed, changing 
world is very important. Knowledge is like a small drop in this vast ocean and there is no 
end for it. The more knowledge you gain, the more you need. 
One of the advantages of keeping oneself aware is that nobody can mislead you in anyway. 
For example if you know the price of a car, you want to buy, would help you negotiate 
more rather than just agree to the dealers price. Keeping ourselves updated also boosts our 
confidence and also keeps us ahead in this competitive world. 
We should develop this skill by listening to news, reading articles, learning new 
technologies. In short we should always keep on increasing our knowledge. 
If we do this then rest of the thing like wealth, fame, comforts will automatically come to 
us. Hence keeping yourself updated is very important skill everybody should acquire in 
today's world. 
(b) Most people want to be a successful person and try to find out what make them achieve 
their goal. In my point of view, people who want to be successful in today’s fast-paced 
world has to have “Interpersonal skill” because this skill will make us having a various 
kind of friends and societies that can help us to be successful by this following reasons: 
To know many people, we can get helpful information that we want easily and 
quickly. For example, students who want to study abroad but do not have any information 
about this topic can easily receive much useful information from someone who used to 
study abroad more quickly than they try to find information themselves. If those students 
do not have interpersonal and be shy, scare to talk with experience person, they will have 
to find information from many places and waste too much time before getting the need 
information. 
And also, when we want some help from others, people with interpersonal skill can beg 
and gain assistance from others. For instance, a manager who has interpersonal skill would 
have more close relationship with their staff. Therefore, when he want to beg for assist 
from their staff, their staff would do at one’s best heartily. On the other hand, a manager 
who does not have close relationship with their staff would be assisted, but their staff 
would work on duty only, not work because they want to help their boss; so, the result of 
both of work is totally different. 
Another reason is people who have good interpersonal skill and have a lot of friends will 
gain a diversity of thought from many various kinds of people. This advantage will give 
them to broaden their perspective and knowledge.
