Six Ways to Make People Like you. If you want people to like you...

Six Ways to Make People Like you. If you want people to like you...

Rule 1. become genuinely interested in other people.


Rule 2. Smile

" Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, " i like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you"

"You don't feel like smiling? Then force yourself to smile."

"It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign (witness or indication) of friends." 

I think that smiling is very important, especially when you meet new people. Smiling just gives off the vibe that you aren't that much of a serious person and that you don't mind meeting and interacting with new people. Smiling is also good because it shows other people that you are a friendly person and it makes them more comfortable in talking to you. When you smile to others, it may also help you feel better because you feel more positive throughout the day.

Rule: Remember Names

1) " A mans name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language."

2) " If you don't remember names, you are headed for trouble."

Remembering names is really important when you meet someone for the first time. It would look really bad on your part if you were to forget their name. They might think that you aren't interested in being their friend. Some people get really offended when you forget their name or when you even call them by a different name. Remembering names is also important because you don't want people thinking that you aren't a good friend, you also don't want them to stop talking to you. Sometimes when people get called a different name, they could get sad because they might be interested into being your friend and they could get hurt by something so simple as forgetting their name. Maybe you should ask what their full name is so that they can tell you their name and you wouldn't look bad because you forgot their name. 

Some simple ways to remembering people names are:

• Repeat them
• Ask them what their full name is
• Ask another person what their name is 
• listen carefully when they are first telling you what their name is

If it is a unique name, ask them what the name means

Rule 4: Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.

" If you aspire to be good conversationalist, be an attentive listener."

"Remember that the man you are talking to is a hundred times more interested in himself and his wants and his problems than he is in you and your problems."

When i talk to new people, I always like to listen to their stories and i love getting to know them better. I feel like it helps you connect with them more. If you are listening to what they are saying, you might catch things that are in common between the two. I feel like if you pay attention and if you listen to them properly, they would find a high interest in you. I mostly see if people are actually paying attention to what I'm saying, other than just pretending to listen to me without even knowing what I'm talking about. If you are being a good listener, you could also help them with their problems that they are having. Some people just need to vent things out and it would be very helpful if you would just listen to them because you might be the only person that would help them.

5 Steps to good listening

1. stay focused, natural eye contact, don't judge and stay patient.
2. Really listen don't think about similar experiences and what you should say next.
3. Allow for periods of silence. Wait till the other person speaks again.
4. repeat the other persons words or paraphrase them back to them.
5. Understand the emotions behind the words.

Rule 5: Talk in terms of the other man's interest.

"The royal road to a man's heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most."

I don't think that this is a good idea. You should also be about to talk about your interest and to talk about yourself. Unless it is an interview then you should be about to interview yourself. Personally, I wouldn't want to talk about that person the whole entire conversation. I would like to talk about myself and to talk about my interests. I wouldn't have the patience to sit down, and to talk about just one person. Honestly, I would loose interest and I wouldn't even be listening to that person anymore. 

Rule 6: Make the other person feel important- and do it sincerely

" The desire to be important is the deepest urge in human nature." (John Dewey) " Helping people feel important and appreciated works magic."

I think that you should make the other person feel important. It just shows that you have an interest in them and that you care about them. People like to feel like they matter and by showing them that you care about them will make them feel better about themselves. When i am talking to someone, i would like them to show that i am important because it will make me feel better about myself and it would make me feel like the person that i am talking to likes me, in a friendly way. Making people feel important also shows that you care for others and you dont put people down.

Reflection: I feel like all of these thing will help you when you are trying to make new friends and when you meet new people. You should always show that you are a good listener and that you care about the person that you are talking to. People like to see that kind of stuff when you are talking to them. It shows that you find interest in them and it will make them like you.

Glenn Cunningham

Glenn Cunningham was involved in a life threatening fire at the age of 7. His legs were severely burnt. The doctors came to the conclusion that he was not able to walk anymore due to the burns on his legs. Since Glenn had over heard his neighbors talking to his mother about Glenn being immobile for the rest of his life, Glenn took it upon himself to say that he was going to walk again and that he wasnt going to give up. He had said that he wanted to become a doctor and run for the Olympics. His dream had come true and he ran for the olymics and won a Bronze metal.

The six attitudes of high achievers

"The Six Attitudes of High Achievers"

High Achievers.....

1. make no small plans

2. Do what they fear 

Zayn Malik did what he feared the most. He was terrified to leave One Direction, the famous pop boyband of the century. Zayn didn't feel happy with the band anymore. He was going through tough times, eventually feeling and looking depressed. He just wasn't happy anymore. He was scared to leave the band because of the fans. He was scared to leave them because they have been by the bands side for 5 years, but he wanted to leave the band. He had to and he couldn't continue pretending to be happy, so he left. March 25, 2015 was the day that it was announce that Zayn Malik left One Direction. Of course people cried and begged him to come back but he just couldn't do that because it wasn't something that he wanted to do anymore. He feared leaving and now that time has passed, he must realize that hes happier now. He went as a solo artist and has now been signed to RCA Record label. He is happier now because he gets to write his own style of music now. Zayn has taught me that i should just go for whatever i want to do, and that i should care what other people will think or say about me.

3. Are willing to prepare

Some people are willing to prepare for the future and whats to come for them. When they prepare, they make sure that they do Great in school and that they make sure they have everything right for the future. Other people prepare by saving money and making sure that they have everything that they need for what they want. You should always be prepared because you don't know if something might go wrong and then everything that you work for can fail.

4. Are Willing to Risk Failure

I think that if you are willing to risk failure and everything that you have, you will achieve greatness. sometimes you have to take some risks in life and if you don't, then you can be missing out on the important things. Some people risk everything that they have and now they are CEO's of their own companies. People also risk their own health to get where they are today. You just have to take risks in life.

6. Have Heart 

People that have a heart are more likely to achieve greatness. If you are nice and you give to people, karma will come back to you and award you with nice things. For example, if you are mean to your employees and you don't treat them with respect, they can quit or maybe report you. If you are nice, they would respect you equally and they would want to continue working for you. People respect others if they get respect back. I also think that having a heart and being a good person is important because people trust you more. 

9 ways

Way to Be

9 ways to be Happy and Make Something of your life

Gordon B. Hinckley 

1. 

Be Grateful 

Being grateful is a very important thing to have. When you are grateful, that means that you appreciate the things that you have. For example, during thanksgiving, we give thanks for the things that we have. Its imortant to be grateful for the things that you have because some people don't have anything.

2.
Be Smart
Being smart is very important in life. Not just smart as in School wise but smart as in Street smart or other things. I think that being street smart is important because you have to know certain things when you are out on the street, especially if you are by yourself. Being smart helps you know things about life and it prepares you for the future. 

3. 

Be Involved in Good Works

Being involved in Good Works is very important because you help people with certain things. You can be involved with groups that help the elderly or that go to hospitals and help people or children that are sick. If you choose being with people that are in gang or smoke weed, then that isnt being good. You should always choose to choose the right. To do good and help others who need it. Instead of just sitting around and doing wrong things, you should use that time to help others. 

4.

Be Clean 

When it comes to hygiene, being clean is very important. You wouldnt want to go to work or school smelling bad and having people run away from you. You should also clean your house because you wouldnt want it to look bad infront of friends and family. To me, being clean also means that you should be clean when it comes to drugs and alcohol and not doing those things.

5. 

Be True 

You should always be true to yourself and to others. Being true means that you should be truthful to people. Being truthful is like telling your friends the truth. For example, if you saw someone steal something and the police asked you if you saw, you should say that you saw who did it. Being true to yourself is also important because it means that you are honest and arent a liar. 

6. 

Be Positive

Being Positive is very important because you have to have a positive attitude. Its not very cool to always be negative and always be the person that is in a bad mood all the time. If you are positive, that means that you are happy and people around you will feel that kind of way. Positive vibes rub off of you and they just spread around and can make others happy. Even if you are in a bad mood, you should try to be happy and think on the positive side of things. 

7. 

Be Humble 

Being humble is important because you aren't an arrogant person and you arent focused on having so much pride in yourself. It is also good to be humble because it shows that you are a generous person and that you are a nice person.

8. 

Be Still

9. Be Prayerful

PDA

Commitment

Quote:

Reflection: i think that is is a very nice quote. If you commit to your goals then you will surely reach your goals. I feel like commitment is a very big part of reaching your goals because you are dedicated to reach them and it means that you wont stop until all of your goals have been made. Commitment is dedicating yourself to something, and your mind is always set on that. 

PDA

" The key to freedom is obedience. The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have." 

Reflection: I agree with this quote 100%. I feel like if you have obedience, you get rewarded with things. For example, when you listen to your parents, they can let you go out with friends or to events from school. They can also with you things, like money or maybe even a new phone. I think that it is important to have obedience because you learn to have patience and you learn other things.
