How to Win Friends and Influence People
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"
Liking everything that a person likes doesn't make you there friend same goes got asking about them no. If you want to be friends with someone then you need to have a good bond with them not liking everything they like that helps but really if you want to be friends with someone then just be friends with them. Yes asking about what they like helps become better friends but really I think that you go up to them first then ask them about the things they like.
Rule 2: Smile
1)"Actions speak louder then 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 of friends."
Smiling is a good way to tell someone "Oh you make me laugh or I
like you" but making yourself smile seems like such a stupid idea. If you don't want to smile don't it won't hurt there feeling. Smiling doesn't mean that your friends just try to make a bond first then later if they make you smile then smile you don't have to if you don't want to. I don't think that.
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."
We have all been there forgetting a friends name and trying all the way to remember them because there is no way we can ask them with out feeling back about it. One trick that I use to remember peoples names is to rhyme it with something or add it to something. One way I use this is with my friend Amber the way I remembered her name is by adding it to something like Amber Alert. So every time I saw her I remembered that and theirs her name. That's just one little tip I use to remember peoples name.
Rule 4: Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves
1) "If you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an attentive 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.
Talking about the person you want to be friends with is a good way to become friends but you shouldn't always talk about them you should also talk about yourself and what you like not just about them. If they want to be your friend then they should also ask about you and the things you like. The thing you are doing they should also be doing as well. Being someones friends takes time and we need to get to know them better that's why it good to become a good listener so we can learn about them and maybe help them with there problems
Rule 6: Make the other person feel important--and do it sincerely
"The desire to be important is the deepest urge in human."(John Dewy)"Helping people feel important and appreciated works magic"
If you want to be friends with someone then yah making people feel important in the friendship should be something we should do. Being a friend means being there for your friends and its very important to be there for them. If you get a person to feel very important in the friendship maybe they will end up being your best friend. The job of a best friend is making the other feel better about them self and have a good laugh with each other and always smile around them that's the job of a best friend so the more you make a person feel important the more of a chances you have for them being your best friend
