Work at becoming the kind of person others want to be around
For many years, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale was a consistent source of excellent ideas for successful living. His books and tapes inspire to keep working to become a better person. Here are some of the ideas he suggested for getting along better with others. They are sound advice for all of us and worth repeating. Test yourself on each of them to evaluate how you are doing
1. Learn to remember names. People's names are very important to them. Forgetting a person's name is often taken as a sign you're not interested in them.
2. Relax and be a comfortable person to be with. Make sure there is no strain in being around you. No one enjoys being around upright people.
3. Learn to be an easy-going person. Take things in stride. Don't let little things bother you.
4. Don't be egoistical or give the impression you know everything. Work at learning from those around you. Learn to respect other people's opinions.
5. Be an interesting person. Stimulate others. Work at becoming the kind of person others want to be around.
6. Smooth out your rough spots. Learn to be gracious, polite, and tactful.
7. Be a peacemaker. Shrug off grievances. Honestly try to correct every misunderstanding you are involved in.
8. Overlook people's faults. Work at choosing to like others until you learn to do it naturally.
9. Boost other people. Encourage them, support them, congratulate them, and tell them why you appreciate them.
10. Develop spiritual depth so you have something to pass on to others. Learn to share this strength with people you meet.
I haven't mastered all these things. There is still many I need to improve on.
I am still working on them..
