“Interested Challenge”

My experience of learning this chapter was amazing. Before reading this principle I was feeling very bored and annoyed that I have to read these 18 pages too to complete this project. But when I started the reading I was totally involved in the words of this principle. It open my eyes that how a simple principle can earn a lot of friends and love for you.

I used this principle in the last three days. But I feel that these three days are my whole life. The way people respected me, the way they feel free to share everything, the way they give me a feeling of dignity, all this is innumerable. I want to share a story of using this principle. There was a boy in my hometown. We dislike each other without any reason. I had never speak a single harsh word against him and him too. But don’t know why we were annoyed with each other. But this time I showed my interest in him by asking him that how are you? And what are you doing these days? As I ask these questions the thunder strikes. We discussed for 4 hours and ate dinner together. We discussed about our feelings when we were not friends and we laughed for hours. Mostly I asked him about his studies, about his likings disliking’s, about his passion Etc. He also shared his experiences. Which means that just asking a small question or by just asking about his health we turned into best friends. And I become a true believer of the principle become genuinely interested in other people.
