"Six ways to make people like you" by Dale Carnegie

1.Become genuinely interested in other people: ("Do this and you will be welcome anywhere." "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." "Ask questions to other people, questions that they would enjoy answering.") This means that people will be interested and comfortable around you because you're listening to them and paying attention. Giving your full on attention to someone can really make them want to get to know you better.




2. Smile: ("Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says,"I like you". You can make me happy, I am glad to see you." " You don't feel like smiling? Then force yourself to smile." " It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends.") This means that you should smile to everyone no matter what. If someone is having a bad day, a smile can make it better. Also, a smile a day keeps the haters away.
3. Remember names: ("A mans name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language." "If you don't remember names, you are headed for trouble.") This means that remembering someones name is really important because it shows how much importance you give to them. For example if you remember someones name the first time you meet them, it makes them feel good because you actually paid attention. On the other hand if you forget, it shows that you weren't really paying attention and didn't seem to care.
4. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves: ("If you aspire to be a good conservationist, be an alternative listener." "Remember that the man you are talking to is a hundred times more interested in himself and his wants and his problems than he is in you and your problems.") This means that if you tend to speak a lot to others, you should also consider hearing them out as well as they hear you out. Also that you should consider talking to others about their problems and expressing their feelings.
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.") This means that to keep and have conversation with someone, you must ask and talk about their treasures. This will make people like you because maybe you can pursue their dreams, and they will be so into the conversation they are having with you. They will also talk to you about the things you are into if they are good and respectful people.
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.") This means that to make people feel important, you should always make time for them no matter how busy you are. Also is they truly care, they will do what is possible and make you feel loved in an important way. 
Final Reflection: To the "Six Ways" I feel that this will really help with help you with making friends and getting people to like you. On the other hand, these ways can also help with job interviews because you are giving a first good impression.
