To love and to be loved” is a basic human instinct so when someone is loved as a reaction he start loving that person naturally who loves him so, undoubtedly when we show interest in people by talking about them during meeting, they show affection towards us.

When I was reading the chapter of book assigned in the course I was pleased to know that to make a lot of loving friends in a short time is not a difficult task as before reading it I always thought that there are some drawbacks in my personality due to which my close friends list is too small but thanks to Amal that along with showing interest in the companies I also decided to take interest in people I want to be friend with. After reading this thought provoking chapter I learned many useful things for the coming life and by the grace of Almighty Allah I will win people’s hearts by talking about their interests, achievements, goals, happy moments and also asking them about their health and routines. Moreover, the take away from that chapter were:

· On phone calls as well, show interest in the person you are talking with instead of talking a lot about yourself because this will increase honor for you in his/her heart.

· Whenever I’ll meet someone I’ll talk about that person more than talking about me i.e. inquiring about his health and daily routines with showing kindness if he has a tough routine.

· It will be great if I ask people about their achievements and qualities because this will make them happy that I appreciate them and I am happy with their progress.

· If I think someone doesn’t like to talk me then by talking about him during meeting with him I can change his mind and can win his heart

· People will give you a lot of time when you start showing interest in them and they will start waiting for the time they meet you .Moreover, they will be glad to help you whenever needed.

The experience of implementing the concept of being interested was awesome for me as I started my internship at SNGPL two days ago. Now, it was a total new place for me and people in companies are so busy and it is really difficult to have a long time friendly conversation with them but I accepted the challenge and ask the manager about his studies and field work and literally I was shocked when he stopped his work and started listening my question about him very carefully and then I asked him about the way he is tackling so many workers , the way he got seniority in the job ,the secret behind his success, the achievements in his ongoing career and many more questions .

Believe it or not we talked for almost two hours he was so happy with the discussion that he forced me to have tea with him and then he was so kind to me that he himself taught me the work they are doing in the company he ordered the workers to give me all the required information. After this I applied the same principle while talking with two other engineers and as a result we become friends, helping each other talking about them whenever free.

The main lessons I learned during the implementation of the concept “being interested” were:

· People will leave all others tasks and talk to you if you show interest in them

· When you show interest in others they start showing interest in you and will talk about you as well

· If someone wants others to be courteous with him then he must start showing curiosity about them

· Show interest in your siblings as well so that the number of disputes become minor literally

To sum up, I would like to say it was a great experience and what I loved most in the chapter was how to remember birthdays of your beloved friends and family members as I always forgot on the day but now I have learned an easy way.
