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."
Reflection: If when talking to another person the only way a conversation will be interesting between the two will be when you talk about something the other person loves. It will automatically be boring if the other person hears you blabber about things that they don't like. If you don't know nothing on that subject, spend the day or night researching what it is so you can have an insight on the things that interests them. Starting a conversation about their interests will bring up enthusiasm in the conversation.
Rule 6: Make the other person feel important- and do it sincerely.
"The desire to be important is the deepest urge in human nature."
"Helping people feel important and appreciated works magic."
- Quote: Whenever you go out-of-doors, draw the chin in, carry the crown of the head high, and fill the lungs to the utmost; drink in the sunshine; greet your friends with a smile, and put soul into every handclasp. Do not fear being misunderstood and do not waste a minute thinking about your enemies. Try to fix firmly in your mind what you would like to do; and then, without veering off direction, you will move straight to the goal. Keep your mind on the great and splendid things you would like to do, and then, as the days go gliding away, you will find yourself unconsciously seizing upon the opportunities that are required for the fulfillment of your desire.
Overall Reflection: These six ways will make people like you because they will like that you are interested in them and that you talk about what interests them. Also because you will always smile at them and because you actually listen to what they say.
