Proverbs 12:26

Introduction
1. He was the first billionaire in the history of the world. At one time, the company he started, Standard Oil Company, controlled and marketed ninety-percent of the oil produced in America. We have today, Exxon, Mobil, Amoco and Chevron, because of this man's vision and ingenuity. For the vast majority of his life, he was by far and away, the richest man in the world.

John D. Rockefeller said the most important ability that anyone can ever have to be successful are people skills.
3.

They rated this ability more vital than intelligence, decisiveness, knowledge or job skills.
4. If you think about it, every part of your life is built around relationships. If you are going to have a good family you must have good family relationships.
