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.”
You don’t
want to be alone without having anyone beside you giving you a hand in the
future. It’s good to be with someone better than being alone. Having friends is
a good thing because they will help later on in the future and you won’t be
alone anymore. Having a friend is a literally because they will help you a lot
and you will be proud of that. Be positive and make people like you. Make yourself
a person that is open minded and look for others that are just like you and
make people smile and start to hang out with them more. Be free and lets others
be with you.
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 goods will in a
business, and is the countersign (witness or indication) of friends.”
When you smile you have a good feeling about
something and know that you will have a great day. Smiling at someone tells
them how you feel and maybe sometimes change someone’s attitude and make them
happy and makes them change in that instant. A smile is very powerful and can
probably change the whole world. It’s good to smile because you forget about
all the problems you face thru every day and it sometimes hurts but those
smiles on your face can change you as well. Impact someone with that smile you
have knowing that she will smile back or he. Smile for every reason in your
life and make a living with that smile that might take you places.
Rule 3: Remember Names
“A man’s name is to him the sweetest and most important
sound in any language.”
“If you don’t remember names, you are headed for trouble.”
When you meet
someone new you must ask for their name. Why? It’s because once you see that
person again you would like to know that person’s name by memory. When you
forget your friends name you will get offended but that might not happen right?
Everyone has good memory there should be no reason why not to remember something.
Sometimes you will feel embarrassed when you forget someone’s name. Be positive
and never forget names cause you might get into trouble.
How To Remember People’s Names
1. repeat the person’s
name, both in your head, and out loud
2. associate names with
things people tell you about themselves
3. let the words do the
work for you
4. don’t be afraid to ask someone
to repeat his or her name
Rule 4: Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about
themselves.
“If you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be am
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. “
Being a good listener can get you anywhere in the world. Why?
It’s because people in the world want people to be ready and wanting to be
successful in life and be productive. With listening skills you can approach many
opportunities to be in many types of jobs. Well I refer to this because tomorrow
I have an interview and I need to listen to what the internship says about and I
will have to tell him about myself. I need to listen in order to answer the
questions I may be asked and be ready to talk about myself and show what I can
do if I apply for the job.
5 ways to be a good listener
1. Stay focused
2. Really listen
3. Allow for periods of
silence
4. Repeat the other persons
words or repeat back at them
5. Understand the emotions
behind the words
Rule 5. Talk in terms of the others man’s interest
“The royal road to a man’s heart is to talk to him about the
things he treasures most.”
It’s always
important to talk about what the interviewer wants to know about. Why? It’s because
if you don’t tell the interviewer what he wants to know you will not apply for
a type of job because you lack in paying attention to what the person asked for
and didn’t talk about the right things. When you talk about what they want to
know then that person says okay they have good listening skills and are focused
and repeat what the question was in order to answer it. Also it may happen that
you say the wrong things that will give you away and lose a big opportunity to
a job.
Rule 6. Make the other person feel important-and do it
sincerely
“The desire to be important is the deepest urge in the human
nature.”(John- Dewey)”Helping people feel important and appreciated works
magic.”
When your
friend or family member is feeling down or depressed always cheer them up and
make them feel special because they are special. Some ways to make the person
feel special again Make a note of the important events in his/her life and ask them
how the events went. If they are telling a story to a group and gets cut off
for some reason, be the first person to ask that person to continue telling it.
When they are explaining their problem to you, listen intently without offering
any solutions or advice. Notice when they change something about their physical
appearance. Life is all about relationships, so let’s make a conscious effort
every day to make others feel special. After all, a strong relationship isn’t
built in a day; it’s built day by day.
Reflection
What I need
to do in order to do the six ways of making people to like you is that I need
to be very friendly and very patient. Not everyone has a positive attitude when
you first meet them but little by little you can make them hang out with you by
being a good person to them. Being to close is good so that the person can feel
special but not to close because then you might get into problems with that
person. When your friend needs advice or help give them a hand and make them
happy again by hanging out with them or giving them a drink. Most mainly be
respectful to them and others in order to gain their respect towards you and be
part of the group of friends.
