My weekend


Over the weekend i played some soccer games and i hung out with cousins. Saturday morning I woke up late and I got dressed for my soccer game. When i arrived the game still hadn't started and I put on my shoes ans shin guards. It was hot and there was no cloud in sight. We started off winning 2-0 and before first half ended they scored on us. I missed a chance to score a header because i hit the ball wrong and it went over. 2nd half started and we ended up scoring 2 more goals. We ended up winning 4-1 and then i went home. I played FIFA 17 with my cousins and then we went out o go eat. Later that night we went to the park to watch my uncle play. He ended up getting injured and we left home early. The next day we went to the park to play with an uncles team. We ended up losing 3-1 and it was unfair.

Six ways to make people like you

                                   How to win friends and influence them 

Rule 1: Become genuinely interested in other people
1) "Do this and you will become welcome anywhere."
2) "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.'  
3) "Ask questions to other people, questions that they would enjoy answering."
 Being genuine is important because it shows people you are caring. It shows that you put others before. You think of your actions and how it will affect others not only yourself. Being interested into other thongs could also be good for you because you may like the things other people do. You get to meet more people by using this method. It is very effective and more people will want to talk to you.






Rule 2 : Smile
1) " Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, "I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to to see you.
2)"You don't feel like smiling? Then force yourself to smile."
3) "It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign (witness or
      indication) of friends."
 Smiling can show people that you are happy and that you are a kind person. It also helps comfort people and they trust you more. Smiling attracts people to you and they will want to talk to you. Also by smiling it shows people that you are okay. If you are having a bad day still smile because you can help someone have a nice day with your smile. It shows people that even if go through tough times you can carry on and be okay. Show them that you are tough and not even a bad day can stop you. 


Rule 3: Remember names
1) "A man's name is the sweetest and most important sound in any language."
2) "If you don't remember names, you are headed for trouble."
   By remembering someone's name it shows that you pay attention to them. That you actually care about them and that they are important to you. That you actually took the time to remember their name even if you barely know each other. You can make someone happy by knowing their name because it shows what kind of person you are. It also shows that you have good memory and that you remember things.       

Rule 4: Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves. 
1). "If you aspire to be good conversationalist, be an attentive listener."
2). "Remember that the man you are talking to is a hundred more times more interested in himself              and his wants and his problems than he is in you and your problems."  
   By being a good listener you get to know a person and who they really are. You get to know their personality and their likes and dislikes. You can hear about their experiences and their hobbies. You can hear the problems they're going through and try to help them out. Plus some people have a bad day and they like the talk about their day and a get all the stress off their chest. 

Rule 5: Talk in terms of the other man's interest.
"The royal road to a man's heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most." 
  You can become someone's friend by talking about the things they like. It shows that you actually paid attention to the things they said. It shows that you really want to get to know that person. You take the time to talk and listen to them about the things that they like. It shows that you are a open minded person because you might not like some of their stuff. You can also get to like their stuff if you give it a chance.   

Rule 6: Make the other person feel important --and do it sincerely
"The desire to be important is the deepest urge in human nature." (John Dewey) "Helping people feel important and appreciated works magic."
     By making someone feel appreciated you make them feel better about themselves. You make them feel important about themselves and you gain more self esteem. You give them hope in the darkest days. You can also give them a reason to carry on and keep on going. You get them fired and they on fighting and making a difference. They lose their fear and they become more courageous. By doing this they can also teach a thing or two and they can make you a better person. You can also feel good making others feel good because you know you made a difference. 


Final Reflection: Write overall final reflection in this post regarding the "Six Ways To Make People Like You".Include your deepest thoughts and feelings. Write what you commit to do to apply the Six rules 
The six ways are important because it helps us make new friends and improve relationships we have with others. It teaches you to think of others and make them feel good about themselves. You get to listen to new ideas and you get hear new things. It helps you become open minded and you improve your listening skills. I will do this by talking to someone I haven't talked to and just try to make conversation with them. I will listen to them and try to give some advice if they need it. Try to listen to the things they like and ask questions about it.
