Culturally Divided Together We Stand ...

Some things are worth sharing with family and friends … and I thought I would share this piece of worthy reading I came across whilst on a short vocation sometime back and it swiftly drifted back into my memory while I was pondering over an article titled “Love Without Borders” which talks about marriages that bridge the cultural divide where love knows no borders.

A successful marriage requires a mix of
COMPATIBILITY,  CHEMISTRY,  COMMITMENT,  COMMUNITY,  COMMUNICATION    and  COMPASSION.



Let’s look at each and every element what it has to offer:

Compatibility - a set of interests and values that establishes a common ground between two people.

Chemistry - indefinable attributes that make two people ‘click’ with each other.

Commitment - an explicit and implicit understanding that both partners are dedicated to making the relationship work.

Community - a network of family and friends to support and nurture the relationship.

Communication - an effort to express feelings and share experiences with each other.

Compassion - a human quality that becomes all the more important for developing a successful relationship.

Well I suppose these elements are essential towards seeking friends and building the rapport amongst colleagues in the working environment too. As it is always quoted in old poetic English “birds of a feather flock together”. It is indubitably TRUE folks. Be it at home, at work or even at places of worship.
