Be More Interested Than Interesting

You can’t force other people to be interested, but by being interested in their stuff and you will learn along the way exactly WHAT they are interested in, so you can craft your approach to fit that. It is our nature that we like to be loved by other people. Reading the part “ Do This and You will be Welcome Anywhere” gives great lesson of life that to get other attention or love, you have to be interested in them. People like to be interesting so if you show that you are interesting in them, in return, they also start being interested in you.

The lesson I learned from applying the lesson of Being Interested is that you’ll be welcome anywhere. I go to my friends and asked questions about themselves and tried to resist to talk about myself self and focus entirely on showing deep interest in them. I was really shocked that they answered the all question enthusiastically. They were really excited to tell about their life stories and in return they also show their interest in me by asking the same question to me. Then first time, practically, i realize that it is much more worthy to being more Interested than interesting.
