To be interesting, be interested
“You have to be interested. If you are not interested, you can’t be interesting”

Be genuine. Be solicitous, keep smiling and consider others thoughts and feelings. Don’t judge others by their external, go into their internal and build compatibility with their hearts. No one is bad, there is always a corner in the heart where love for others exists and by finding this love an evil can change into virtue.
As Dale Carnegie said, you can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years trying to get other people interested in you.
“Become genuinely interested in other people.” It means there is always something genuinely interesting about what somebody is doing. The need is to pursue that what interest I have, ask more questions and continue that conversation. It’s fascinating, and at the same time builds a greater connection and opens up more opportunities.

This week, I had a chance to read the book called “How to Win Friends & Influence People” by Dale Carnegie. This book has the remarkable tips to win the hearts of people. As personally I like the success story of Mr. Thurston, a master showman. He had a genuine interest in people. He had guts to hypnotize people by his interest, and it worked more than his magic.
I have to come up with a thought changing challenge in which I have to focus only on asking and observing others for at least 24 hours and I have to try to listen others. I took this challenge and I did what I have to do and that is “speak less and listen to others”. This challenge was quite tough.
During this challenge, I met with some close friends. According to challenge I tried to speak less and ask more. When they ask about my day or about myself, I answered with a question which again put them in a situation to speak more. I observed a lot them and they also put me in a situation by asking questions which were what happened to you? Why are you speaking less? Is everything is alright?

During this conversation I realized that we don’t want to listen others we want to speak more. We have not enough time to know feelings of others. We have interest in ourselves. We always showcase our achievements and speak to argue. We always want to be superior and want to become center of attention. It was very difficult to me to listen others but these 24 hours were very thoughtful and lesson seeking to me. I will focus more on my listening skills.
