# Smile and be warmThis is a perfect start on your journey to becoming a nicer and more likeable person.
Don’t be grumpy and plaster a frown on your face all the time. View the glass of life as half full. When you’re happy in your own shoes, the world will start to love you for your infectious happiness.
# Communicate wellHave interesting conversations with others without getting personal or intrusive. Don’t talk only about what you want to talk or what you know of. Be willing to listen and indulge in conversations that others around you can relate to.
# Think from the other person’s point of viewMost of us are so full of ourselves that we forget to think from someone else’s perspective.
If you’re with a friend who’s having lobsters for the first time, empathize with that person instead of laughing while watching them fight with a hard shell. Talk about the first time you had to crack a lobster and how it ended up falling off your table. When you make someone feel better, they’ll be grateful to you and like you more.
# Don’t be sharpAvoid being rude or snappy in your retorts and responses. Don’t hurt people just because you can. Many people take pleasure in making someone else feel weak or humiliated. Don’t be that person.
# Be confident, but not egoisticYou may be confident and egoistic about yourself. You may take pride in your achievements or how much you make in a year. But when you’re interacting with others, don’t bring your ego out in the open for all to see. People who are less fortunate than you in some way or the other will always think you’re bragging. Be egoistic and proud on the inside, but don’t reveal it unless there’s a need to.
# Have a positive outlookBe happy. Don’t obsess about the bad things in life. Enjoy every moment of life and share your happiness with people around you. Positive people always have a sparkle in their eyes, and draw friends and admirers closer all the time.
