Today is Friday, so this post is on interpersonal competence. In this blog, I have often mentioned a characteristic that all interpersonally competent people seem to share. That characteristic is a giving mentality, a willingness to give to others without expectation of anything in return. Today, I’d like to tell you about a man who personifies this characteristic. His name is Roger C. Parker.
