Intelligence is not quite the key to being well liked too, just like that know-it-all among your acquaintances who everyone pretty much is uncomfortable talking to. Charm encompasses more than just looks, smarts, or ability. Charm is complex and simple at the same time. What if you were told that what it takes to be charming is already in you? This ebook will share with you, step by step, on how to be charming. You would probably begin reading this as a slouching, awkward, confidence-lacking kind of person. However, as you go through every chapter, you would be gradually straightening your back as your understanding broadens. If you are ready to be reborn and see the world with new eyes, then read on! The Secret Boomerang Effect Try going back to the first few moments you shared with the people you now call friends. These friends can be quite crazy and totally imperfect now that you know them better, but can you remember how you got close to them? Now, they may appear relaxed about your relationship, but you know that when you need to share something serious to them, they are all ears for you—that “interest” is your connection. Interest. You may say, “That’s it?” Don’t be tricked by the simplicity of the word. The key point here is, “to be genuinely interested in others”. Showing genuine interest in people must be graceful and patient. Being too fast with things during conversations with people can indicate that you do not respect their own timing and aren’t giving them a chance to show themselves to you. So, practice genuine interest. The Secret Boomerang Effect How do you begin to become a person who is interested in others? Ask questions! The key to showing other people that you are genuinely interested in them is to let them talk about themselves and to actually listen. Try get rid of “what” questions. Instead, ask one or two open-ended ones. For example, when they are sharing a hilarious experience or a miserable one with you, do not just ask, “Was it fun?” or “Did you cry?” Questions that are answerable by yes or no are dead ends. Instead ask, “How did it make you feel?” or “What came to your mind about it?” When you ask about what a person feels and thinks about what they share with you, it makes them feel that you are really listening, that you are really interested in them.

When you show interest in people, they will like you back. Imagine that you are meeting someone for the first time, and that person encourages you to talk about yourself and cares about your feelings and thoughts. You would appreciate it. And later, in recollection of this meeting in which the other person barely revealed anything about themselves besides how nice and caring they are, you would want to return that person’s kindness and know more about them. By showing interest to other people, the curiosity and respect bounce back at you equally or even more. However, by applying the traits in the following chapter, you would become charming in no time. The Truth about Perfection Being imperfect is perfection. Imperfection creates bridges among people. It is a hint of similarity that draws relationships instead of constructing walls of a different you and a different me. Imperfection shows you are human, and because you are identifiable with everyone around you, people do not feel threatened of you. That comfortable thoughts they have about you being just like them is necessary to being charming. To charm others, just be who you are. When you don’t know how to do something, then admit so. It could be a great key to initiating interaction between you and others. When you don’t know something, admit your ignorance about it. Allow people to teach you a thing or two. By being unpretentious, people respect your honesty and admire how you are cool with who you really are. The Paradoxical Way to Be Admired At first, upon meeting a sad person, you might feel sorry for them and try to do some things that would help them to feel better.
