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."
Rule 2: Smile
1) "Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, "I like you. You make me happy. I'm 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 business, and is the countersign (witness or indication) of friends."
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."
Rule 4: Be a good listener. Encourage other to talk about themselves.
1) "If you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an attentive listener."
2) "Remember that the person 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."
Rule 5: Talk in terms of the other man's interest
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."
Final Reflection: I find the six ways really important. Following these rules/ways will get people to like you and you should want to be liked. By doing this, you'll get more friends. First, you want to be interested in the person and this will show them that you really care about them and they'll appreciate that. It is also good to smile and remember their names because it shows people you are willing to be there for them and listen to them. Being a good listener also goes with the way of being interested in them because you pay attention to what they have to say and want to know more about. Following these ways will make others interested in you as well. They'll see the impact it made on them and start doing the same and follow the ways too.
