The Interested Challenge

Every one in the world wants people to be interested in them but the real success lies in to show interest in others. To be success, one should show interest in others by considering their values, personality and character and try to help them in every possible manner.
In the book “How to Win Friends and Influence People” chapter 2 “Do this and You’ll be welcome anywhere”, the author emphasized that real success lies in being interested to others. He gave examples of several successful people in the world who follow this path to make his name and get excellence over their passion. He wrote:
“You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you”.
All of us, be we workers in a factory, clerks in an office or even a king upon his throne — all of us like people who admire us. Showing a genuine interest in others not only wins friends for you, but may develop in its customers a loyalty to your company and keeping the fact many companies trains their telephone operator to talk enthusiastically, humbly and politely so that the caller feels the company is concerned about them.
What I Learned
When I tried to be interested in others and understand their feelings and emotion I came to experience the world with different perspective. we are surrounded by a lots of people about whom we didn’t meet regularly but our lives are somehow connected with them like the security guard of our university, people at the bus stop and peon of canteen. The Interested Challenge brought me to them, and as soon as I talk to them I realized the whole new world about which I could not think upon. I receive an overwhelming response from them. I came to know about their circumstances and problems in their lives, while some abstain to open up.
Keeping short, and allow me to share my experience with the security guard. When I passes by him, I greeted him and asked about his health and about his job. I saw a smile on his face that really inspire me to do this task. I came to know that he is retired from the job and continuing it on contract basis. He was satisfied with his job and now wanted to make his children studied so that they could get a white collar job instead of this tiring one. Then he explained his problem about which I empathized him. After that I noticed that guard who always showed angers and asked about showing the card, now allow me to passes by smoothly, in fact helps me to park my car regularly from then.
I learned from the Interested challenge that every one in this world is hungry of the kind and polite words. We can simply win the world by using this tactic, because we will be learning from their experience and also influenced them toward our side. If you want others to like you, if you want to develop real friendships, if you want to help others at the same time as you help yourself
