The interested challenge

Do you want to be a man that people can’t help resisting being interested in him? Sounds curious huh?

My blog can help you in this regard.

Dale Carnegie, author of “How to win friends and influence people” expressed his exquisite childhood memory. His father brought him a little yellow-haired pup. His pup used to sit in front of the yard with his eyes starring at the path, and as soon as Tippy(pup’s name) heard his voice or saw him, he was off like a shot, racing breathlessly up the hill to greet him with leaps of joy and barks of sheer ecstasy.

Did you ever stop to think that a dog is the only animal that doesn’t have to work for a living? A hen has to lay eggs, a cow has to give milk, and a canary has to sing. But a dog makes his living by giving you nothing but love.

We can make more friends in two months by genuinely interested in people than in two years by trying to get other people interested in us. It is the key of being favourite among people. If we merely try to impress people and get people interested in us, we will never have true, sincere and real friends because fast friends are not made that way.

In his book the author shared his meeting with great magician “Howard Thurston”. The magician was very popular in his audience and up to 60 million spectators had attended his shows. He told the secret of his success that he had a genuine interest in people and every time he was in front of the footlights he kept on saying to himself “I love my audience”.

If we incorporate this simple apprise in our daily life then we will be loved by people because people love to have talking about them.

I employ this simple technique in daily life by genuinely interested in my family members, friends and colleagues. Believe me, when you have a pleasant accent and you discover about their routine, recent moves, future plans and past stories; they have a very true and bona fide smile on their faces while telling you their stories.

Hope you’ll find this interesting and you’ll engage these simple tips in your daily life.
