How to Get People to Like You

Mon, 15 Jan 2007 19:23:50 GMT

clipped by: kankamuso
clipper's remarks: A little bit more detailed than the usual "just be yourself", heh.

Learn to remember names. A name is very important to someone. If you don’t take the time to learn someone’s name, it indicates that you’re not interested in him or her. When someone remembers your name, it gives you the feeling that you are interesting or important.

Be easy going and natural. When you are stiff, reserved or unresponsive, you unconsciously build up a barrier. But when you are easy going and natural it is easy for people to like you.

Be interesting. Have something to talk about that people find interesting or stimulating. This way people want to be with you.

Don’t have a big ego. If you give the impression that you know it all, that you are superior, you make it hard for people to like you. Be normally humble.

Do some self-study and get rid of negative attitudes. People can consciously or unconsciously pick those up and they might find it irritable to be around you.

Always look for the positive qualities in a person. Getting people to like you is merely the other side of liking them.

Try to build up someone’s ego. Make compliments. Congratulate upon someone’s achievement, or express sympathy when they are in sorrow or if they feel disappointed. The ego is a sacred thing; every human being has the desire to feel important. When you deflate someone’s ego, you are wounding him deep inside.

Give strength to people, support them. Help them to be stronger and they will give you affection.

Whether you like to admit it or not, we want people to like us. If someone tells you that he does not really care if people like him or not, he simply is not being honest. The longing to be liked is one of our deepest desires. We want to be popular, we want people to speak nothing but good of us and we want to have affection of the people around us. It is in our human nature.

15 Things It Took Me Over 50 Years To Learn

15 Things It Took Me Over 50 Years To Learn

Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

You should not confuse your career with your life.

Never lick a steak knife.

There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.

The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.

A person who is nice to you but rude to a waiter is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)

Your friends love you anyway.

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

Ten Rules For Being Human

clipper's remarks: Keep it simple...Live, learn, love.

Clip Source: www.bluinc.com

You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.

You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."

There are no mistakes, only lessons.

Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.

Learning lessons does not end.

"There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."

Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.

What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

Your answers lie within you.

All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

You will forget all this.

Hacking Knowledge: 77 Ways to Learn Faster, Deeper, and Better

If someone granted you one wish, what do you imagine you would want out of life that you haven't gotten yet? For many people, it would be self-improvement and knowledge. New knowledge is the backbone of society's progress. Great thinkers such as Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Edison, Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein, and others' quests for knowledge have led society to many of the marvels we enjoy today. Your quest for knowledge doesn't have to be as Earth-changing as Einstein's, but it can be an important part of your life, leading to a new job, better pay, a new hobby, or simply knowledge for knowledge's sake — whatever is important to you as an end goal.

Life-changing knowledge does typically require advanced learning techniques. In fact, it's been said that the average adult only uses 10% of his/her brain. Imagine what we may be capable of with more advanced learning techniques. Here are 77 tips related to knowledge and learning to help you on your quest. A few are specifically for students in traditional learning institutions; the rest for self-starters, or those learning on their own. Happy learning.

Painting of Tica by Dru Blair

This is a painting completed in February 2005. It was a Portrait Class project that I decided to finish in my spare time after the workshop. It probably took a total of around 65-75 hours to complete. The small images are step by step photographs taken during the painting process, and the large image is the final painting after detail and skin texture are added with an eraser and colored pencil.

~Dru Blair

Detail of final painting showing skin texture. Subtle nuances created by an xacto knife, an eraser, and some colored pencil can build convincing skin texture. The etcetera technique also helps the believability of the skin and hair texture. Fine hair is created using my shield-reveal technique, and my split frisket technique. Airbrush constitutes about 99% of the image.

Beautiful and immortal advice. A MUST read!

clipper's remarks: Like the guy on the webpage this is linked to, I also found this letter among my dad's printed emails to me while I was away in university in another country. My dad has long departed since then, but every time I read these words Lincoln wrote to his son's teacher, they bring a tear to my eyes. Beautiful and sincere advice for anyone to follow.

Lincoln’s letter to his son’s teacher

He will have to learn, I know,
that all men are not just,
all men are not true.
But teach him also that
for every scoundrel there is a hero;
that for every selfish Politician,
there is a dedicated leader…
Teach him for every enemy there is a friend,

Teach him, if you can,
the wonder of books…
But also give him quiet time
to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky,
bees in the sun,
and the flowers on a green hillside.

In the school teach him
it is far honourable to fail
than to cheat…
Teach him to have faith
in his own ideas,
even if everyone tells him
they are wrong…
Teach him to be gentle
with gentle people,
and tough with the tough.

Teach him to sell his brawn
and brain to the highest bidders
but never to put a price-tag
on his heart and soul.

Teach him to close his ears
to a howling mob
and to stand and fight
if he thinks he’s right.

This is a big order,
but see what you can do…
He is such a fine little fellow,
my son!

Multiple intelligences

Sun, 23 Sep 2007 05:37:18 GMT

clipped by: pokkets
clipper's remarks: People think in different ways, have different talents, learn differently,and understand things in different ways. The education system is biased towards linguistic, thinking, and logical thinking to a lesser degree. People with strengths in other fields, could be taught in a way more suited to their talents

Clip Source: www.tecweb.org

Howard Gardner of Harvard has identified seven distinct intelligences. This theory has emerged from recent cognitive research and "documents the extent to which students possess different kinds of minds and therefore learn, remember, perform, and understand in different ways," according to Gardner (1991)

Visual-Spatial - think in terms of physical space, as do architects and sailors.

Bodily-kinesthetic - use the body effectively, like a dancer or a surgeon.

Musical - show sensitivity to rhythm and sound. They love music, but they are also sensitive to sounds in their environments

Interpersonal - understanding, interacting with others. These students learn through interaction.

Intrapersonal - understanding one's own interests, goals. These learners tend to shy away from others.

Linguistic - using words effectively. These learners have highly developed auditory skills and often think in words.

Logical -Mathematical - reasoning, calculating. Think conceptually, abstractly

Illusion always play your mind. Look at the image below and you will know what i mean. At first glance i saw the images below, it is the word in black that read as “Good”. There is another word hidden within it. It is in white color that read as “Evil”. Amazing?

The word reflection of “Teach” is “Learn”. When the teacher teach us something, we learn it.

The word reflection of the mirror shows the true hidden meaning of the word “Love”. Girls, do not wear this shirt or else your boyfriend might think you hate them.

Yelow area reads as “Optical” while the colored area reads as “Illusion”.

Brown area reads as “Me” while the colored area read as “You”.

Children Learn What They Live

Children Learn What They Live (1998)

by Dorothy Law Nolte (1924 - 2005)

If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.
If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.
If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.
If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.
If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.
If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.
If children live with recognition, they learn it is good to have a goal.
If children live with sharing, they learn generosity.
If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness.
If children live with fairness, they learn justice.
If children live with kindness and consideration, they learn respect.
If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and in those about them.
If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.

Chronology of the different versions of this poem:

Children Learn What They Live (1959)

Ten Habits of Highly Effective Brains

Wed, 17 Oct 2007 21:16:59 GMT

clipped by: Perkalicious11

Clip Source: www.sharpbrains.com

let's review some good lifestyle options we can follow to maintain, and improve, our vibrant brains.

Learn what is the "It" in "Use It or Lose It"

Take care of your nutrition. Did you know that the brain only weighs 2% of body mass but consumes over 20% of the oxygen and nutrients we intake?

Things that exercise your body can also help sharpen your brain: physical exercise enhances neurogenesis.

Practice positive, future-oriented thoughts until they become your default mindset

Thrive on Learning and Mental Challenges

Aim high. Once you graduate from college, keep learning

Explore, travel. Adapting to new locations forces you to pay more attention to your environment

Make your own decisions, and mistakes. And learn from them

Develop and maintain stimulating friendships. We are "social animals", and need social interaction. Which, by the way, is why 'Baby Einstein' has been shown not to be the panacea for children development.

Laugh. Often. Especially to cognitively complex humor

Double Words Optical Illusion - Ambigram

At a first glance, what do you see the word above as? In black the word read as good while in white the word read as evil. It visualises the concept that good and evil coexist together. Neat set of optical illusions. Three more pics after the jump.

Optical Illusion that depicts optical illusion. Yellow area reads as optical while the colored area reads as illusion. Amazing.

Opposite meaning of teach is to learn. This is another great illusion where the word reflection of teach turns into learn.

The reflection of the mirror shows the true hidden meaning of the word hate.
