Fundamentals Of Hospitality Hosting.

How to be a Good Host
Introduction
A host is a person who entertain guests at home or during an event at a certain venue. The host is required during an event to entertain guests, so that guests will feel welcomed and at ease to move around just like how they are at home. During an event without a host, guests attending the event might feel at lost, unenjoyable and boring; Hence, the person who is playing the role as a host have to harbour certain qualities.
In order to be a good host, you will have to harbour major qualities such as knowledgeable, polite, interactive, helpful, approachable and welcoming. In this aspect, we will be referring to playing a good host at a hotel. The first person whom someone will seek help from when they enter the hotel would be the receptionist. A good receptionist will be one who must have the knowledge to guide and help the customers with what they need or where they want to go. In order to ensure customer to approach to you, the receptionist must be neat, welcoming by having a sweet smile, an approachable look that is not hostile and untidy and good looks would always be an added bonus. The receptionist must be interactive and helpful in order to hold conversations with whoever they are interacting and to help them with what they need/want in this line.
Sometimes a good receptionist should go beyond the call of duty to help customers like bringing the customer to the toilet entrance instead of just telling them the way to get to the toilet if the receptionist counter have enough manpower to function.

How to be a better person
To me, being a better person requires many kinds of principle and different people have different view on what a better person should be and some of those viewpoints may clash with each other. So if anyone is willing to become a better person, he or she should sit down and make a list on what being a better person really is to them.
To start off this topic, some of the basic attributes of being a better person involved the person's attitude. Attitudes of how a person reacts to changes in life. Some people view changes as a bad thing and others view it as a good thing. In my point of view, a better person is able to accept changes and is able to make adaption to those changes that he or she faces positively.
Other issues on being a better person involves how a person faces setbacks. If he or she allow it to affect them greatly, it just shows the person isn't strong on the inside as compared to someone who is able to smile and go on and ignore the issue affecting them isn't it? I'm not trying to say that a better person should have a heart of stone and not be affected by what he or she just faced. But how a person carry on from there counts.
The possibility of including simple things like being more polite towards people, being more helpful to others, taking responsibility for his or her actions, learning to respect other people, perhaps even investing in self help books and applying what is learn in there can all add to how to be a better person.
Some people can choose seeking out for mentors that already have those "better" person behaviours. Others can learn to be more mature and look up to Roles models that have those attributes.
The issue of learning from one's past or other people mistake can too add up to being a better person.
On that part that I mention regarding to different point of view from different people may clash with each other. A good example could be a topic of someone being very outspoken. Some people believe that being out spoken can be a bad thing as it can hurt people feelings which is a negative effect as to being a better person. On the other hand, an out spoken person can also have the ability to make changes or motivate the other party he or she is telling to which can be a good thing as well isn't it?
So what is the best way to start fixing things up?
First, you should list all your negative traits for example if you are self-fish, self centred person, learn to be move giving to people around you and learn to put other people first before you put yourself in.
Second, Know who or what you want to turn out to be, this would be your goal to achieve. Perhaps making a point to strike 1 conversation to one random stranger can boost your interactive skills and Being interactive with others positively can make you a better person
Third, find someone/ a group of positive people who are willing to judge and guide you to what you want to achieve on being a better person. This can include your role models or mentors.
Forth, do self monitoring and have people monitor your change. Do not expect instant results though and learn to be more accepting and accept people's feedback on your progress. Be open minded to possible changes that people can suggest to you that can help you.
Last step, look back at yourself on how much "better" you have change into and learn to keep up the good points and at the same time, learning how to improve yourself better on your progress.
