Be Interested Rather than Interesting!
I read a chapter titled: “Do This And You’ll Be Welcome Anywhere” from Dale Carnegie’s book: “How to Win Friends and Influence People”
Usually Interesting people have somethings in common:
1. They ain’t boring.
2. They are good listeners so good speakers.
3. They talk ‘bout other peoples interests.
4. They have good stories to tell as they listened good stories.
5. They have charisma and a wide range of usage of vocab.
6. They pick up interesting places to meet.
7. They live an interesting life.
8. They love people as they live a lovable life.

To own one of these you’ve to be interested not interesting.
Be interested in the person you are talkin’ to. By interested, I mean, take their views into your account and speak according to them. Listen to what they speak about, read closely to what they write about so that you can say a lot of things constructive about it. Pay ears to people and surroundings that surround you so that you’ve a story for most occasions. For example when you’re with those people who’ve children, you’ll have a story about your niece or nephew or a friend’s son if you were interested in the kids or interested in listening to their parents story earlier. Your body language is an important factor as it will show when you are interested so keep it balance. Have to meet someone, choose a place they might be interested in and is lively or even a break from the norm. Living an interesting life comes from being interested in your surrounding, doing stuff which are different from usual. Let one is interesting in something so he’she has to explore all the things to get control over that situation. Let you’re interesting in being a footballer from your very start but you just hit you 6th decade of your life? No club will pay you attention because you weren’t interested in that club. You just had a passion from the distance and never tried to be in that club.
So, you see you have to be interested to be interesting.
I wanna relate it by own story of my life.
While my town was busy sleeping, I was letting myself down to feel insecure so that I could sleep, I got a text from my friend. The last conversation between us was back in 2012. He said when you’re planning to chase your dreams? will you kneel yourself or you’ll carry on? Hey, say something, I said “I can’t hear you because it’s too dark here”. He laughed for a while and said you ain’t about to change. I got my answers. He said a good listener as a good speaker. You speak a lot but I enjoy every single moment I spend with you. I’m interested in you because you’re interesting in every aspect of life and I said I hate goodbyes but I guess time wants me to say that and we ended out shit. (Hamza Amad)
