How to win friends and influence people

Six ways to make people like you

Rule 1: Become genuinely interested in other people.
" Do this and you will be welcome anywhere."
"You can make more fiends 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."

I think this is a good way to make friends because talking about yourself all the time bothers people alot. We should be interested in others because maybe they might need a friends and we can be there for them. that would be the right thing to do. We should always listen instead of always being " me,myself, and i". We should care for others. Showing that you care can make them trust you and it can be a really good friendship.

Rule 2: Smile
"Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, "I like you. You make me happy. Im glad to see you."
"You dont feel like smiling? Then force yourself to smile"
"It creates hapiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign (witness or indication) of friends."

Smiling is good way to make friends. Nobody likes being with a sad person all the time. People like to have fun. Giving a smile shows how your a happy person and people can talk to you. Not smiling and having an attitude doesnt lead you to anything. It just makes you not only be lonley but feel lonley. Smiling is a great way to show other people you care because your happy around them. Having a smile yourself doesn't only help you and how you feel, it can also put a smile on someone else.

Rule 3: Remember Names
"A man's name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language."
" If you dont remember names, you are headed for trouble."
Remembering peoples names is a way to make friends becasue it makes people feel good that you know them and can count on you. Forgetting just makes you look rude and people will forget about you too.

How to remember names:
To remember names we can speak up and ask again for their name if you didnt get it the first time.
We can repeat the name
We can spell it out
Find something in teh person that can help you remember the name.

Rule 4: Be a good listener. encourage others to talk about themselves. 
"If you aspire to be a good conversionalists, be an attentive listener"
" Remember that the man you are talking to is a hundred times more interested in himself and his wants and his his problems than he is in you and your problems."
This is very important because its a great way to make friends and also keep them. Listening to your friends can make them trust you even more.
