Thank you, Mr. Relationship Expert
From an article in Family Circle on getting along with other people:
"Once you raise your likeability level, the people around you -- at work, home, wherever you go -- will want to help you, leading to success in all areas of life. Most important your day will be filled with more positive events."
Hey, that’s some great advice! I sure appreciate it. Thank you. And what a lovely article, too. I didn’t find the logic faulty in the least. For instance, the part that said "the key to likeability is friendliness" -- I thought that made perfect sense. I didn’t think it was like saying "the key to running fast is speed." Not at all. And the tip about letting people "see your passion and fears" -- that was brilliant, too. There’s no more surefire way of endearing yourself to other people than by dumping your emotional baggage on them. What’s more, I promise I will make an effort to listen not only with my ears, but also with "eyes" and "heart," just as you recommend. Because such advice doesn’t make me want to vomit all over your glossy magazine. Have a nice day.
