THE INTERESTED CHALLENGE
It’s human nature that they only think about “I”, “my” and “me”. As Dale Carnegie pointed out the most common habit of people in his book “How to win friends and influence people” that firstly we find ourselves then see others in the picture. Sometime this habit of loving “I, my & mine” converts into selfishness and they don’t think about others.

Asking someone about their life is definitely be so tough, but when they are willing to talk with you it becomes much easier to communicate. The word “trust” has developed and the other feel much comfortable when you start caring about them and asking about their problems and providing solutions to those problems.
With the aim of developing the skill of being interested in me, I start focusing on others by asking about their lives. I asked few people about their life, about the situations they are in, about their desires etc.

The challenge as per I perceived after reading a chapter “HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND WIN PEOPLE” from Dale Carnegie’s book is how we can gain the interest of other people by taking genuine interest in them. Everyone wants to talk about themselves rather then listening to others. Everyone needs attention ,love and time. So if we ask about themselves, about their lives, then we can obviously gain their interest. In this chapter the writer told the story of a musician that how he grab the attentions of others and gain their interest because he always gave value to his audience.The most interesting thing I learn from this chapter is:

Here, I want to share story. First of all I observed and feel that when I asked questions about themselves everyone is so much surprised and they feel very happy because I ask in a polite and soft tune and I allow them to explain themselves.I talked to my Anti and ask her so many questions she started talking about her household activities and i feel that she is taking so much interest in talking about herself.Actually she is very interested in cooking so she said that she had tried many new recipes last weekend.And then I talked to my friends and asked about their education, what are they doing and what are their further plans.From this activity I have learnt that asking questions from others about themselves make them realized that I actually care about them.They feel very happy .By being interested in them you can win their hearts.I think sometimes people just need your attention and they want a person with whom they can talk .And for me it is a great experience .

I learned these habits to make people like you from this “The Interested Challenge” activity:
1. Smile when meet to others as it is also a sunnat e rasool and you get rewarded in Islam.
2. Always shows interest in other people
3. Every person likes to hear his name in any language with a sweet sound.
4. Always listen to others calmly and encourage them to talk about themselves.
5. Chat on the topics of other person’s interests.
6. Feel others as they are the most important person in the world.
