The minister defended himself that it was t
he friendly Michelle Obama who offered the handshake and he had not choice but to shake her hand as well. In any case, the handshake is done, so let's look more the knowledge behind a good handshake.
First of all, What is a handshake? As stated in wikepedia, It is a short ritual in which two people grasp one of each other's opposite hands, and most cases accompanied by a brief up and down movement of the grasped hands.
How to give a good handshake?
A handshake is important as it can make or break your first impression on a person. A handshake that's too limp or weak shows weakness or lack of self-confidence. However, one that's too strong or crushing can convey hostility. A good handshake is one that conveys self-confidence, trust, and a genuine interest in the other party. It should be of appropriate strength and duration. A handshake that last longer than it should be will cause awkwardness between the two.
Given this basic knowledge, we should practice shaking some hands. Practice makes perfect!
