What are considered as Social Skills which are important for character building?

RESPECT +  TRUTH  ====  IT IS THE KEY TO LEARN & ALL THE OTHER RELATED SOCIAL SKILLS ARE THE BY PRODUCT OF THESE TWO.

Tolerance,respect a sense of belonging and responsibility

Some of the social skills that I find important for today's diverse world are: friendliness, leadership, good communications skills, the ability to listen, not interrupting, not taking over the conversation, allowing others to join in, having an open mind, politeness, assertiveness, not dominating, not aggressive, not passive either; a good attitude, feeling calm and at ease, non-angry, not bitter or resentful, not verbally or psychologically abusive, articulate, respectful.

I have always held great store in good manners. "Manners maketh the Man" is a very apt saying although I must confess that I don't know who it is attributed to.

Humanity

Self integrity, self respect, respect to human value system and sense of belonging are the key.....:)

I fully agree with MR peter Scott

• Good Manners
• No Lies (Truthfulnes)
• Honesty

and last but not the least

• Doing good by him/herself before "Advising good to others"

The ability to listen, respect, to envy no man, responsibility.
