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 question to other people, questions that they would enjoy answering.”

Reflection:What this rule means is that in order to make new friends you have to be interested in what they like to do rather than what you are interested. If you are interested in what other poeple like to do, then more people will like you. This rule would help you make many friends. The more friends you have the better your life is. For example if you meet someone who likes sports, then you ask them questions about that sport that they like. I would apply this to my life by being more interested in other people.

Quote:  “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.” –

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 (wintness or indication) of friends.”

Reflection: To smile. What does this mean? How can this help me? Do i need to smile? How do you smile? Can i make friends by smiling? Smiling means to be happy. Smiling can help you a lot in life because you come off more playful with others. You do not need to smile, but if you don’t smile then you look like a jerk. smiling is very simple to do, all you do is make the ends of your mouth go up. If you are always smiling then people will think you are a nice guy and if people think you are a nice guy then they would most likely want to be your friend.  For example if you are walking down a street and you see a two men one is smiling and the other is not. Which one do you think is more friendly? If you picked the guy who was smiling then you are correct. I would apply this to my life by smiling everyday till i take a dirt nap.

A smile can change everything.

Rule 3: Remember names

“A man’s name is to him the sweetest and the most important sound in any language. “

“If you don’t remember names, you are headed for troble.”

Reflection: Remembering people’s names can come in handly. If you can remember someones name, they will like you because you remembered their name. If you forgot someones name they might feel very disrecpected because you did not bother to remember their name.

How to Remember Names:

4. Be Clean

• Reflection: When people  say ” be clean” they think about taking shower, brushing your teeth, or always washing your hands, but what I think be clean means is to never do something bad. For example if you do drugs you are not clean, If you bully someone you are not clean, if you choose not to come to school, then you are not being clean. Being clean mean you are willing to the right things and once you choose the wrong then you are no longer a clean person. What i will do to apply this way to my life is to always choose the right, to never do drugs, and not to pick on other people because if I do, I will not be a clean person.
• Quote: “We are used to cleaning the outside house, but the most important house to clean is yourself – your own house – which we never do.” – Marina Abramovic

5. Be True

• Reflection: Being true can apply to many things such as being true to yourself, being true to others, and many other things. You can apply this to your everyday life. If you are always honest you’ll never have to worry because if you lie that will only brings bad thing into your life. If you are always telling people the true then people will always love to be around you because you would never lie to them. Being true to yourself can help you overcome many roadblocks in your life. For example if you forgot to do your homework and the teacher tell you why you didn’t do the homework and you lied they will never believe you, but if you tell them the true then they would know that you are a trueful human being.

6. Be Positive

• Reflection: Being positive can be a very hard thing to do. If you’re feeling sad or depressed, it can be hard to overcome, but being positive can make that much easier. If you always have a smile in your face then you are being positive. If you don’t have a bad tone while talking to someone then you are being not being positive. Being positive is all about treating others and yourself with kindness. Being positive is also looking for the good in every situation no matter the what. For example if your mom told you to do the dishes and you didn’t give her attitude then that’s being positive. I would apply this to my life by always being positive.

I’ll apply this to my life by always being humble.

“The key to freedom is obedience we are, the more freedom we have.” – Boyd K Packer

This shows attitude because its shows that you have to think a certain way to be free which is to be obedient. What this quote means is that in order to be free you have to make sure you are being obedient. In school for example if you are always late, never doing work, or even just sleeping in class you never be free and if you do all your work and showing up on time you will be able to do what you what to do.

“A smile is the universal welcome.” -Max Eastman

What this means is that smile is very welcoming. If you meet someone for the first time and they are smiling then you feel welcome, rather than someone with a mad face, then you feel not welcomed. Smiling this very important because it helps you feel better about yourself.

The constant need for achievement.

“No great achiever – even those who made it seem easy – ever succeeded without hard work.” – Jonathan Sacks

Being an achiever is not easy. Every achiever must work hard to get what they achieve. You can’t be a achiever if all you do is sit at home doing nothing and playing games. You constantly pushing yourself to become better. For example, regular people just what was given for homework, but achievers will the the homework and also do the extra credit.
