Six Ways to Make People Like you. If you
want people like you......
Rule 1: Become genuinely interested in other people.
1) "Do this and you will be welcome anywhere."
2) "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"
3) "Ask questions to other people, questions that they would enjoy answering."
What this rule means that when you're interested on others, shows that you're a caring person. This is a good rule because it teaches you that when you're interested in others ideas, it make them feel that you're concerned on what happens to them, showing that you care for them.
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? Then 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."
What this rule mean is that with only one smile, you could make someones day. A person could be having a terrible day and you see them and give them a big smile, makes them feel less upset and makes them feel good. I've applied this rule several times and it does work, I see that a person that's down or in any circumstance and i could see their emotion has changed just by one smile. This rule also means that when you're having a bad day, doesn't mean that you'll have to stop smiling at other people. Giving a smile to someone else, could inclusively make your day better.
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."
This means that if you don't remember someones name, you're showing that you have no interest in that person. When you talk to a person for the first time and then see them in a public place or bump into that person and remember his/her name, you're demonstrating that you remembered their name, that's showing that you have a type of interest. I will apply this by memorizing everyone's name.
Rule 4: Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
1) "If you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an active listener."
2) '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.
This rule means that you should listen carefully what others are informing you, you should listen carefully in what others need to say/express. Listening to other peoples ideas and paying close attention makes them see that you're concerned about ideas or thoughts.
Rule 5: Talk in terms of others man's interest.
"They royal road to a man's heart is to talk to him about about the things he treasures most."
This rule means that while you're talking to a guy, it's not just all about you, you need to take time and talk about what he likes as well. This also means that by talking things he's most interested on, could make him appreciate you even more. I will apply this in many ways. One of the ways i could apply this rule would be by taking a day to listen to my friend in all his interests. Another way i could apply this is by giving my friend the same exact attention that he gives me while we're talking about me.
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."
The meaning of this rule is that when you appreciate other peoples ideas, work, etc, they feel important. This is a good rule to use on the daily basis because you're making people feel appreciated by what you're making them feel. You could apply this rule by complimenting someones work so they'll know they did a good job. You could also apply this by taking time to figure out who the other other person is, making them feel important by showing that you're interested on who they are.
