Don't be loud. Other people find noisy people to be obnoxious and
annoying. We don't want that, do we?
Know when it is right
to argue with someone. Learn to accept
that others may be right and you may be wrong. Nobody likes to be around
someone constantly pointing out that they are right.
Know when to speak up. Defend friends in tough situations.
Don't be afraid to
talk to others. Always look people
in the eye when you're talking with them. It makes you appear more confident.
Nobody wants to talk to someone who can't stop staring at their feet. Remember
to stand up tall. Never slouch.
Respect and value
everyone and everything.
You get what you give
Having a sense of
humor is a plus. Know the right time
to laugh. It's good to crack a few jokes every now and then, but don't overdo
it.
Remember personality
doesn't mean that you should have looks.
Personality means to represent the people how you are. You should have
confidence in your eyes, voice and your face too which should obviously reflect
to others
Don't be afraid to be
different. People will admire you for your
unique personality
Be kind and
considerate. People who truly
practice these virtues to everyone they meet can be true to themselves and
still stand out.
How to Be Bold
"Begin,
be bold and venture to be wise."
-Horace
If
you're shy, hesitant, or passive, you run the risk of leading a
boring life marked by routine and unfulfilled goals. Most progress has been led
by people who were bold--scientists, public servants, artists, entrepreneurs,
and others who didn't wait for opportunities; they created opportunities. So if you want to be
bold and unstoppable, here are some ways to kick start your momentum.
Pretend you're already bold. If you were to switch places with somebody who is as
bold as bold can be, what would they do in your shoes? If you already know
someone who's bold, imagine how they'd act. If you don't know anyone like that,
think of a character from a movie or book who's daring and brave. Spend one
hour a day or one day a week pretending to be them. When you do this, go
somewhere that people don't know you and won't act surprised when you do things
that are out of character. Go through the motions and see what happens--you
might discover that amazing things happen when you're bold, and you might be
convinced to carry this bold behavior into your everyday life.
Make the first move.
Whenever you're feeling hesitant--especially in your interactions with
others--swallow your pride and make the first move. Ask your acquaintance if
they'd like to go to the bar down the street for drinks after work. Tell the
person you fancy that you've got two tickets to a concert and you'd like them
to come with you. Give your significant other a big hug and apologize for that
time you overreacted a few months ago. Smile and wink at the attractive
cashier.
Do something unpredictable. What could you do that would completely surprise the
people who know you? Wear high heels? Skydive? Take a dance class? Bold people aren't afraid of trying new things,
and one of the reasons they're so exciting to be around is that they keep you
guessing. You can start small, perhaps by wearing a color or style of clothing
that you don't normally wear, or visiting a place you normally wouldn't visit.
Eventually, you may get to the point where you entertain ideas that make other
people's eyes widen when you mention them.
