"Do this and you will be welcomed anywhere"
You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years bt trying to get other people interested in you"
"Ask questions to other people, questions that they would enjoy answering"
“Badges mean nothing in themselves, but they mark a certain achievement and they are a link between the rich and the poor. For when one girl sees a badge on a sister Scout’s arm, if that girl has won the same badge, it at once awakens an interest and sympathy between them.”
Juliette Gordon Low
When you acknowledge someone, you recognize their value and importance they will feel imortant and feel comfortable with you. Starting the day with a "Hello" or “Good Morning”. Smiling at each and every co-workers as you pass by them by on way to the office? Or reaching out to a new acquaintance you see in a crowd. Be friendly so they feel safe and be a new friend.
Rule 2: Smilie
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)
Form one's features into a pleased, kind, or amused expression, typically with the corners of the mouth turned up and the front teeth exposed. A smile is the most important thing because it is contagious if you smile at some they'll smile and feel good. it may save a life.
Rule 3: Rember names
1) "A mans name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language."
2) "If you dont remember names , you are headed for trouble."
1) "A mans name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language."

We can't allow any war for imperialism or greed to be fought in our names. This is what we need to keep fighting for.
1. Face association
Examine a person's face discreetly when you are introduced. Try to find an unusual feature, whether ears, hairline, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, chin, complexion, etc. Create an association between that characteristic, the face, and the name in your mind. The association may be to link the person with someone else you know with the same name. Alternatively it may be to associate a rhyme or image of the name with the person's face or defining feature.
2. Repetition
When you are introduced, ask for the person to repeat their name. Use the name yourself as often as possible (without overdoing it!). If it is unusual, ask how it is spelled or where it is comes from, and if appropriate, exchange cards. Keep in mind that the more often you hear and see the name, the more likely it is to sink in.
Also, after you have left that person's company, review the name in your mind several times. If you are particularly keen you might decide to write it down and make notes.
Rule 4: Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
"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"
When you become a good listener you a journal or diary for someone. When you show interest in a person, that person feels that he/she can trust you and never break that trust because without that trust there is nothing. Don't be selfish and brag about yourself when you listen people, they listen to you.

Rule 6: Make the other person feel important -- and do it sincerely
the desire to be important is the deepest urge in human nature." (John Dewey) "Helping people feel important and appreciated works magic."
“Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself – and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That’s what real love amounts to – letting a person be what he really is.”
Jim Morriso
