Project: The Interested Challenge!

Goal: To better understand the mentality of interviewers to understand why it’s better to be interested instead of interesting and to apply/develop the skill of being interested.

Steps:

1. Read the given PDF 3 times and note some points.

2. Prepared the list of people from my contact list and especially focus on those people to whom I was not connected for more than six months.

3. Started to interact with friends, classmates, teachers and family.

4. Responses were very great, and they all were very happy to chat with me.

5. Make a birthday book of all the people to whom I interacted.

6. Surprise: After writing the blog I am going to invite all of them so that they can find everybody in the same place.

“Family and friends are hidden treasures, seek them and enjoy their riches”.

Wanda Hope Carter

Family and friends are the most important things in our lives. Giving time every day to our loved ones helps us to reconnect to them. Love is like oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together and the music that brings harmony.

Family is love

Interaction and relatedness among individuals are important factors. It teaches us to listen responsively, watch sympathetically and feel us in contact with the world around us. It is possible when we start to be interested in people. Otherwise, we will live alone in between billions of people.

People feel us in contact around the world

We can win the attention, time and cooperation of people by becoming interested in them. It is a blunder to wait for people to be interested in us. To show our interest with people we can interact with them by making a call, sending some greetings, animations and showing this genuine interest will win the people for us.

Those who deserve the credit of cooperation and attention.

When I started to be intersected in people around me, I felt that love overflows and joy never ends, and this blessing is only with family and friends. They are most valuable for me because they teach me things, keep me sane and I love to live among them. I got the above values when I read the chapter “Do This And You’ll Be Welcome Anywhere” How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie.

During the interested challenge, I got a unique thing and that is the “Birthday Diary” of beloved people around me. This will have linked me with people for the next time to ever. This simplest thing in life will give me the most pleasure and I also to my beloved ones.
