Tina Fey rules of communication are helpful in helping one improvise meaningful
conversationCITATION Sul15 \p 6 \l 1033 (Sull and Kathleen 6). Her four rules of communication are
agree, agree and add something, make a statement, and there are no mistakes but only
opportunities. When making a conversation with your partner, agree on what to say in order not
to misunderstand the rules in your conversation. Once you agree create a conversation around the
statement your partner has started. Whenever you are holding a conversation with your partner
make statements rather than asking questions that are out of context or against the set rules for
the conversationCITATION Hud17 \p 20 \l 1033 (Hudson 20). During a job search, an interviewer
might create a problem that requires one to solve. Therefore, Fey rules will assist you go with the
problem without opposing possibility of the problem existing in the first place.
The obvious dilemma is the fact that a person’s perspective of oneself differs from what
other people think, feel, and view him or her. No one can correctly explain these different views
as some claim it is God’s way of keeping us humbleCITATION War19 \p 14 \l 1033 (Ware 14). For
instance, looking at my personal perspective, I describe myself as hardworking, kind, beautiful,
soft spoken, bright, honest, selfless, neat, and always keen and a problem solver. According to
me these are some of my strongest attributes which I build on in order for to feel whole and
satisfied with myselfCITATION Sul15 \p 55 \l 1033 (Sull and Kathleen 55). I endeavor to stick to my
principles, values, and focus. I believe this is what makes people respect me and value my
viewpoints as I also respect their personality and principles. Also, respecting other people
amounts to great respect from them. Without value and respect for others, I believe that it won’t
be easy to command any respect even from my siblings (Fleming 50).
In order to gain different perceptions I decided to interview my sister and also interview
my best friend since they are the one I spend most of time with (Michotte 40). Given our existing

relationship, I trust they will not feel the need of being dishonest in describing my personality,
attribute, and attitudes towards life, them, and the broader life in general. According to my sister,
she said that she finds me hardworking, smart, intelligent, and slow while doing manual work,
tempered, unable to express emotion, beautiful, cheerful, ambitious and precise (Ware 88).
While my best friend described me as hardworking, beautiful, smart, selfless, cheerful,
ambitious, distant and indifferent, focused and generally neat. This is exactly what I’ve always
rated myself; I always love being focused, ambitious, and keen to maintaining excellent social
relations with other people (Arnold and Boggs 8). Selfless is the real measure over one’s inner
thoughts, opinions, and viewpoints against the other people.
According to my research from friends and relatives I found that while some attributes
that we have of ourselves remain true, those around us may not really feel or see them when you
may find that you possess characteristics that you did not be aware you have (Michotte 8). For
example, my sister pointed out that I might be tempered and easily angered. However until then I
had never realized that I might have a problem expressing my anger. Likewise my best friend
also pointed out that I can be indifferent to people’s issues when facing someone with a problem
that I cannot relate to. All these attributes pointed out made me realize that I was not anywhere
close to perfection on understanding myself any better (Ware). I always do not like it when
people accuse me of things I have not done, or when people blame me for anything I am not
aware of. Maybe this is the reason why my friend described me as an indifferent person.
In conclusion the way anyone views themselves and how the rest of the world sees them
cannot be the same. Even looking at yourself in the mirror will always look different depending
on aspect. The views of my sister and my best friend I learn that though the attributes I want to
display are all good. What I let others feel and see are what I achieve. Although other people’s

opinions should not control your life one can improve their behavior sing the assistance of those
closest to them. Also one can discover attributes about themselves they didn’t know they had. It
is always good to remain positive in life, be fancy with what you do, help others, show passion
and hard work, and be committed in everything that one does.
