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: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
- "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, foster good will in a business, and is the countersign (witness or indication) of friends."
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
- "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."
How to remember peoples names:
- Pay attention to the person’s name when it’s said.
- Say the name aloud as soon as possible.
- Comment on the name
- Associate the name with something meaningful
- Form a visual association between the face and the name.
- "If you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an attentive listener."
- "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."
5 Tips for active Listening:
- Stay Focus,keep natural eye contact, and be patient.
- Reallu Listen, don't think about your similar expieriences or think about what you are going to say next.
- Allow periods of silence, wait till the other person speaks again.
- From time to time repeat the other persons word or paraphrase it back to them.
- Understand the emotion behind their words, when you paraphrase also try to express the emotion.
- "The royal road to a man's heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most."
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."
