My sunday was fun because i got to ride my bike in the rain. I went to work in the morning and came out at night. I was going home with my 2 friends that work with me and it was really dark already. I was on phone playing my music when i felt a rain drop. I started to go a little faster and all of a sudden it started pouring rain. We got all wet and we were still not close from our houses. As soon it started to pour rain we started to go faster and we found out we could not stop because our tires slipped and also our shoes. so my 2 friends stopped at the store to wait until the rain stopped but i kept going because I had to do homework. When I got home I was dripping water.

                                                 How to Win Friends and Influence People

Six Ways to Make People Like you. If you want people to like you.........

Rule 1: Become genuinely interested in other people.

1)"Do this and you will be 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"

Become genuinely interested in other people means to not be boring with other people. It can also mean to be honest with people. Be honest and be more open. Explore the world and be genuinely interested in others. If you are just not open you will take long to make friends. Friends dont come to you, most of the time you have to go to them. You have to go up to people and talk to them to make friends. You can just sit down one day and expect people to go up to you to be friends because they dont know you. So you have to go up to them and ask a question that you think they would enjoy answering so the conversation keeps going. If you ask a random weird question they might not even reply and walk away. For example if  you go to visit to another state and you dont know anyone. You should go up to someone and ask a question about that state. 

Rule 2: Smile

1) "Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, "I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you"

2)"You dont 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."

Smile means to be happy. Its saying to show a smile everywhere and anywhere. Even when you are feeling down try to put a smile in your face. A sad face doesn't do any good and doesn't look any good either.Even if you dont feel like smiling always smile so it can cheer up your day. A smile will bring many good things to you. It will bring you more happiness because what is a sad face going to bring. It will just bring more bad things to you. For example if you get a 73% on a test and you are sad. Just smile because that sad face is just going to make you worry more. Just think about doing better next time and you will. Think positive and say in your mind you could have done worse so a 73% isn't that bad.

                                                                                                                  

Rule 3: Remember Names

1)"A man's name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language."

2)"If you don't remember names, you are headed for trouble.

Remember names means to dont forget you classmates names from school. Also the names of  your friends or the people you work with if you have a job. A name was put on for a reason. For example if you see one of your friends from middle school in the store and you haven't seen them in a while you should call them by there name. Not say "Hey kid" or "Aye" and expect them to turn around. It would sound better if you call them by there name so they can also know you have forgotten them. It can also be bad in any job meetings because you supposed to greet the person and say there name. It would sound bad if you call your boss just by boss instead of his name. 

Rule 4: Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.

1)"If you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an attentive listener."

2)"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." 

Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves means to pay attention to others conversations. when you talk to someone you want them to pay attention to you so you should do the same. You wouldn't want to talk to someone and it looks like your talking to a wall because they are not listening. It is disrespectful when you are somewhere else when someone is talking to you. If you dont pay attention that person will loose interest because they will think they are wasting their time since you are not listening. For example if you are talking to your friend but also texting. You should put your phone away and turn it off if you want so you can pay full attention and not ask later to repeat it.

Rule 5: Talk in terms of the other man's interest

1)"The royal road to a man's heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most."

Talk in terms of the other man's interest means to talk to a person with something that interest them. They wouldn't want to talk about something that they dont feel comfortable about. Also if they dont know what to say about the subject. Talk about the things he treasures most can also mean someone or something that means a lot to them. Find the things they like or love and talk about them. 

Rule 6: Make the other person feel important--and do it sincerely

1) "The desire to be important is the deepest urge in human nature."(John Dewey) 

2) "Helping people feel important and appreciated works magic." 

Make the other person feel important--and do it sincerely means to make the other person feel good around you. That is the most important thing. You wouldn't want to be around someone knowing that your not important to them. It will make you feel like your wasting your time. To know that your important makes you feel better wit that person. For example if you are with a friend make him feel important and show that you care about them. Dont just treat them like a person that you just met. If they ever help you appreciate it so they know they actually helped you and not just bothered you.
