How to Win Friends, Fans, and Lovers
by Most of us have some difficulty meeting new people, impressing others, and attracting lovers to us. Here are a few thoughts and ideas to help you in these endeavors.
Be Yourself: To paraphrase Popeye – you are what you are. You are always going to be you; so you might as well learn to love and appreciate yourself. Every one of us has unique traits and talents that define us. Embrace your unique characteristics – even if they seem strange to other people. Everyone is awkward when they are young. Even the seemingly cool kids are really insecure inside – during our adolescence we are all just trying to figure out who we are and who we are going to become.

Do What You Love: If there is something you really love doing, that you really derive enjoyment and pleasure from, then do that! Don’t stop because people think its weird, or that you’re too grown up to be doing that anymore. If you get joy from doing something, then you owe it to yourself to do that thing. You’d be surprised at how many people start out doing something just because they really like it, then they end up getting very good at it, and then they end up having a wildly successful career as a result of their willingness to pursue the thing they love.

On that note: People are attracted to people who are very good at something. It doesn’t really matter what it is – if you are very good at juggling, people will be attracted to that; if you’re good at riding a bicycle, people will be attracted to that! When you are good at something, it is generally because you are passionate about it – and people recognize and are attracted to passionate people. It makes them feel alive to be close to someone who is really doing something well.
Enjoy Life: Maintain a positive attitude. Just as with passion, people find themselves attracted to other people who are positive and happy. Who wants to be around a grump who always sees the glass as half empty? Wouldn’t you rather be around someone who is smiling and happy and who finds the bright side and points it out?
It is true when people tell you that life is what you make of it. Accept who you are, and accept that we are all on a path, none of us are really there yet. Every day is another step towards being the joyous, happy people we all have the potential to be.
