Having A Wrong Partner Is Like Traveling With A Bad Tyre

Hello beautiful people, hope we are all fine despite the cold winter, proudly sponsored by the bear market. Sincerely I will say, it has been a blessing being in this amazing site because have learnt a lot from various people. While going through some old post, I came across an old article of choosing a partner. After going through the article, I began to reason all that was said.

Who Is A Partner?

In a layman's understanding, it is someone who we associate with, most times to achieve a certain goal. I know you may think this definition doesn't fits in with partners with relation to marriage and friendship. But it does, the common goal of having a partner in terms of marriage or relationship is for a happy and peaceful union. This Amazing goal can never be undermined, that is why choosing the right partner is really important.

Now when it comes to business, the reason we merge with others is in order for us to achieve a particular goal which I success. Let's assume you want to open a coffee store. And you are not really good in taking orders, but can prepare the coffee well. You will have to search for someone who is skilled in that aspect you are deficient in. This is when the definition of a partner comes in, both of you merges to achieve a common goal which is making profit from your business.

Choosing the wrong partner usually brings great ruins, chaos and misfortune either to the business or relationships.

How Do I Know The Right Partner?

I will be dividing this into two segments which will cover both business partners and relationship partners. Making the right choice is essential if you want to excel or live happily.

Choosing the right partner in a relationship requires you being careful, so you don't end up with a violent person, and the following points are what you should watch out for ;

1) Trustworthiness : This is crucial feature to look out in your partner, it serves to avoid unnecessary tension and worries. This will cut down on our spying levels, that's for partners with trust issues. You won't have to be monitoring his chats and calls, since it was someone you already trusted.

2) Have Common Goals : This is where most people get it all wrong. You need to choose some who has almost similar interest with you and not someone who is opposite of you. This helps to bring out the best in you, let's assume, you love music and you are dating someone who hates music, you will find it difficult adapting to the no playing of music or discussing about music in the house. And that could dampen your interest if you really had intentions of making music a career.

3) How They Treat Other People : Someone commented on my post, the first thing I will look out for in my partner is how he treats his mother, I'd he doesn't treat her well, then its a No for me. Yes! The simple things like how he talks to his/her parent is enough red flag or go ahead for you. You won't want to stay in a house with someone who talks carelessly at the parents or to other people. A preacher once said, the best time to choose a life partner is when they are angry. In such state, you will be able to detect if they will control their temper or not. If they can't control their temper , just picture yourself in soon to be abusive relationship.

4) Faith : Am not trying to sound too religious here, though have also seen atheists make good partners. What am trying to portray is you being prepare for your partner's belief. I still remember sharing my room in school with a Buddhist, it was always a heaty experience as we both shared totally different belief. Then picture yourself living with someone of that caliber, they will always bound to be conflicts.

5) Love : This is the most important point as nobody wants to end up with someone who doesn't love and respect them. The most important spice in a relationship I love, Care, support and respect, so when these are missing in a relationship, we are bound to experience chaos and instability. When choosing a life partner you need to be vigilant if they person truly loves you or is just being materialistic. People choose their partner based on different features, could be the beauty, height, body shape, gigantic gluteal region and mammary gland or could be the way they speak. These are all materialistic things, which could fade over a period of time. So ask yourself, this features I admire in this person, what will I do, if I wake up and l can't find them anymore ?

In choosing a business partner, you need to consider the following features;

1) Trustworthiness : Having this at the back of your mind always will guide you in making the right choice. You can't work with someone you won't trust.

2) Past Experiences : You need to put past experiences into full consideration, you won't want to open a bakery with someone who has never seen or knows what happens in a bakery. But that doesn't mean, employing people without experience is a bad option either. In both instances let passion be the criteria.

3) Productivity : In Choosing a partner, you need to also put into consideration how productive he/she is. It could be in terms of given ideas, making decisions or even convincing clients.

4) Character : This is also important in both instances, either when choosing a partner for relationship or business. Someone who steals, cunning or have deceptive behaviour will not make a good partner.

Conclusion

Having considered the factors involved in choosing a partner both in relationship and business, we need to understand that when the wrong person is chosen, they is bound to be failure, stagnation and disagreement both in relationship and business. We need to always make the right choice considering the fact that making wrong choices is at the detriment of us, as useful time and resources are wasted. Always make the right choice always.
