Six Ways to make people like you .If you want people to like you………

Rule 1: Become genuinely interested in other people

“Do this and you will be welcome anywhere”

“You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you”

“Ask questions to other people, questions that they would enjoy answering”

Reflection: It really helps a lot when you become interested in other people. Not like in a relationship way but in a friend way. Many people try so hard for people to take interest in them but sometimes it takes us to get interested in them first. It shows that you actually care about that person and that they are not a bother to you or annoying because I think sometimes that’s what stops people from talking to other people or asking them questions about themselves because they feel like a bother or some type of creep when in reality its enjoyable when someone actually takes interest in you and not just gossip to make a conversation.

Quote: ”You can have anything you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want”

Rule 2: Smile

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

2.”You don’t feel like smiling? The force yourself to smile.”

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

Reflection: Smiling is a good way to start so people can like you everyone likes a smiling person. If you’re having a bad say smile, if things didn’t turn out as you planned smile. It doesn’t take much to smile. Everyone looks beautiful when their smiling even if that means faking a smile you’re still getting through life. I personally think a smile is the most beautiful thing in the world because it shows that your happy and that even if things aren’t going as you wanted them to , you still chose not to let that take the smile out of your face.

“A smile is the prettiest thing you can wear” 

  


Rule 3: Remember names

1.”A man’s 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.”

Reflection: When someone remembers your name it feels good because it’s like wow you actually remember my name. We sometimes get surprised because we think we are not that important so why would someone remember your name or my name? But it feels good when someone does, it shows that the person actually payed attention to you. It might not seem like a big thing to forget some ones name but it actually is. I think when you remember people’s names you’ll be more likable because you can start a conversation with them now knowing there name.

“Remember my name, Remember my face cause there ain’t no other honey who can take my place”

   

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

“If you aspire to be a 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”

Reflection:  Being a good listener helps other people to like you because no one really wants a person who ignores them or isn’t really interested on what they have to say.  Some people pass through very hard things in life sometimes they need advice and sometimes they just need someone who will listen to them. Sometimes you just have to keep quiet and listen. It feels good when someone truly listens to you because not many people are like that it feels nice when you actually feel important to someone
else just like they are good listener maybe you can be a good listener for someone else also.

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 feels important and appreciated works magic”

Reflection: making someone feel important is very needed to make someone like you not only for you own self on getting people to lime you but because your making someone else feel important in this world that is constantly bringing people down. No one wants to be friends with someone who makes the feel like crap. It is important to make other people feel important because then not only the person feels good about themselves but you feel good about yourself to because you might have changed someone else’s life just by being a friends and listening to them and making them feel appreciated. 

"You are amazing"

Reflection: overall this teaches you that there are many different ways it you want people to like you these ways are very important because they make the person overall feel wanted and everyone wants to keep a friend who makes them feel special. It also taught me to listen better because sometimes the other person just needs someone there to listen rather than rushing to give them advice we have to try out bests to understand the person before we speak. Also remembering names ,I didn’t really think it was a big deal but I know I wouldn’t really feel good if someone forgot my name so I try my very best to remember names. 

Glenn Cunningham

When Glenn Cunningham was younger he was in a bad accident that burned his legs so severely they were useless. The doctors told him he could never walk again but, he had the heart to reach his goal and walk again. When he felt like giving up he would tell himself that he was going to walk no matter how much it hurt or how hard it was. Little by little he began practicing on his walking then later one of his main goals was the run in the Olympics and he achieved that goal and came I first place. After the doctors told him he could never walk again he defied everything and achieved his goal. He could have gave up and not even try and have self-pity but he knew that wasn’t going to help him walk again. He put his heart into walking again and he earned it.
