Secrets Revealed - How To Be Charismatic


Dear friends,

My apology for the delay of this post as I have been away for a conference in Singapore.

Today is the final session of charisma I am sharing with you. After charisma, I will move to other subjects.


We all know the importance of friends. Friends share our joy, sorrow, listen to our problem... And friends also improve our charisma. Let's see how...


A friend is a single term we use to call our allies, supporters, sympathizers, advisers, brothers, playmates, classmates, listeners, and lots more. This is because we reveal things to friends that we just wouldn’t say to anybody else. They give us encouragement, feedback, honest opinions, and advice. A friend is someone you can trust with confidential matters - you know that he won’t hold anything against you. A friend is someone who has the same interests as yours, and accepts, understands, and loves you for who you are.


Friendship is the first thing we can offer to and accept from a person after having to meet him personally and know some things about him. By being friendly, it may mean “expressing a liking for one person,” “welcoming him into your life,” or “conveying a generally positive feeling towards him.”


On the other hand, unfriendliness is the communication of negative feelings for another person through verbal and/or nonverbal methods. The message conveying this aura includes: “I’m not interested in you,” “You are not welcome,” “You irritate me,” and other distant and cold remarks. That is why charisma is about friendliness, and not the other way around; because if somebody feels this kind of atmosphere in you, then you’ll be stuck with just being noticed but not being liked.


Creating friends requires time, effort, commitment, a give-and-take-relationship, and a lot of tolerance for the many limitations and weaknesses we all have. Although most people are open to new friendships, life pursuits such as family and careers tend to become higher priority. Some people feel it takes too much time and effort to develop true friendship. For one, you have to develop trust, as true friendship requires mutual trust between two people; and trust takes a lot of time to develop. Also, being familiar with the other person, including knowing and practicing similar interests, does not take little time.


Once you are friendly, people would want to be with you, talk to you, because you make them comfortable and you make them happy. That explains why friendliness helps to develop charisma.
So, stay friendly at all time and make more friends whom we can share happy moment, share same interest, learn new skills etc and they will lighten our days and improve our charisma.

If you like my post drop me some comments, and it will make my day!


wishing you young forever,

Janice H.
