Interesting challenge
The art of influence others

We hear “be a good listener” a lot, but how does listening help you? How do you DO it anyway? Listening is an art and not much of us familiar with this art we are busy in being interesting and forget the beauty of, to be interested. Whereas both words are interlinked for being interesting you must develop the habit of listening others, their views and ideas otherwise you’re too busy to thinking about your own.
Truly speaking it is a tough job to let others share what they think, you must show full concentration towards them and feel what they feel. Your relationship also strengthened by this way.
I started this project with an aim of developing my skill of listening and I asked few people about their life’s desires, needs and wants and what I came to know is amazing. Each one of them hold stories, experiences, life plans. I firstly ask my sister; she share her point of view about life. According to her, learning is her foremost priority and she believes; don’t plan life, live it day by day, it adds up more pleasure in it. She is doing much struggle now a day, admission process but still she is hopeful. After doing all these conversations I feel that she is looking for an opportunity to explore her abilities and I am not aware of her such thoughts before.
The next person I chose is one of my bestie and she is currently too much busy as she is also doing Amal fellowship. I ask her future plans. She wants to apply to multinational companies as well as in insurance firm after graduation. she is passionate as I already known but I never talk her before about her future goals and where she stands in my life.
Then the last person to whom I talk to is also my friend. I have always look lighter part of his life like he use to laugh every time and it takes a lot, to make him talk about himself. He is currently helping his father and brother in their business and as he already has some idea about his work so according to him it seems interesting as he always used to explore the ways to expand it and have some changing in it.
After reading the chapter 1: “Do This And You’ll Be Welcome Anywhere” from How to Win Friends & Influence People by Dale Carnegie and completing the interested challenge I learn that there’s always more than what we see. If you take interest their deep thoughts automatically you have developed yourself as an interesting person. They show openness towards you
Try honestly to see things from others point of view.

I definitely apply this rule in my life ahead. As it is wonderful feeling to brought smile on someone’s face and it is not only help me to communicate better but also strengthened the bond of friendship I hold with them.
