Six Ways To Make People like you, If you want People to 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."

Reflection:This rule is saying that in order for someone or something to have a lot of friends you need to be interested in the person or thing you are trying to befriend. Such as asking questions. Also to be very welcoming to one. Trying to be very open minded towards the persons thoughts or feelings. If you are the opposite you will lack friends and or lack social skills. If you do the opposite of what the book tells you to do, you will not have success in having or finding friends because you will not be able to withstand the person or yourself.

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, foster good will in a business, and is the countersign (witness or indication) of friends."
Reflection: This rule is saying that having a smile shows that your happy people could just look at you and say, " She looks happy today." without even having to talk to you it shows you are a happy person that others want to be around. if you don't
 feel like smiling just force a smile and you would see how everyone give you a smile back and it would make you feel good inside.Give a smile to everyone and see how happy your day will be :)


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: This rule is saying that it is a good thing to remember other peoples names, because when you know there names that means you like talking to them and you remember how there look meaning your interested in that person which makes others happy to know you remember there name.To never have negative thoughts over people and ideas. To smile is like a metaphor of always keeping up. To never have a bad attitude to people. Always having a smile means welcoming and gratitude to the person. If you don't have smile you seem to people as a bad person and also as a wrong person. To have a smile you need to very open minded and to never have wrong opinions about other opinions.

  1. "If you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an attentive listener."
  2. "Remember that the man you are talking to is  hundred times more interested in himself and his wants and his problems than he is in you and your problems."  
Reflection: What this rule is trying to tell us that it is good to talk to others about themselves cause how you have problems in live other people do but that dont stop you from talking to others they want to be heard by someone who cares like you want to be heard when you have any type of problems.

  3. Allow periods of silence, wait till the other person speaks again.
  4. From time to time repeat the other persons word or paraphrase it back to them.
  5. Understand the emotion behind their words, when you paraphrase also try to express the emotion.
Rule 5: Talk in terms of the other man's interest.

  1. "The royal road  to a man's heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most."
Reflection:  What i think this quote means is to talk about something the the other person is interested in like for example is he/she is into basketball then talk about their favorite team talk about who won the game beacuse it is interesting into them meaning they are going to want to talk to you.


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

  1. "The desire to be important is the deepest urge in human nature." (John Dewey)"Helping people feel important and appreciated works magic."
Reflection: What i think this quote means it that when you meet someone new your suppose to make the other person feel important and you it because you mean it show how important they are to you show that your eager to talk to them and become a good friend to them as well.
