The Interested Challenge
Everyone wants to make friends and caring relations, the trick to it is to be interested rather than to being interesting. Recently i got a chance of reading the he chapter 1:” Do this and you will be be welcome anywhere” from How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie. After reading this chapter I learned that people are not interested in knowing about yourselves they only love to talk about themselves. According to very interesting example in this book, the New York telephone company conducted a detail survey on telephone conversation to find out which word is frequently used. It is personal pronoun “I”. it was used 3900 times in 500 telephone conversation. People need to know you care. So ditch started listening. I learned that be active listener, you can show people that you’re interested in them by eye contact, responding to them, by frequently asking questions it shows them that you are sincere about them, you care about them. One of the most interesting way to how to attract people towards yourself by the example of Mr., Thurston, who was a magician shows that how he become successful in his life by two rules. First give priority or attention to audience and second one is that put your personality across footlights. He says “I love my audience”. It is understood that is a person focus on other rather than himself, the people will automatically attracted towards him if it’s visevirsa so people will go away from him. For example if artist present his art without caring about what is audience’s demand, the people will go away from him. The fact is that human is hungry for importance.
In my in person session with people for interested challenge I observed that actually a interviewer is seeking for what and why it is better to be interested rather than interesting. To be interesting means that we have some skills, we are capable to do something while sitting to another person we only focus on ourselves what we are, what we are doing etc and being interested means that we are interested in knowing others. In interested challenge for the entire 24 hours we have to focus on asking question from others. I did this challenge with my neighborhood friend. I asked them question about their studies, about their hobbies, their family members, their priorities in life like family, money, relationships, success etc and much more. I showed keen interest in his that I am passionate to know more about here.
