It shows that no matter the circumstances, you can always see the silver lining and you will never berate life for dealing you a bad hand. That positivity of yours is a key ingredient in another of your most impressive traits: your resilience and determination. You know full well that words are cheap when not followed by action, so you are one who sticks to what you say.
For you, walking the walk is more important than talking the talk, and this approach is very much welcomed by those close to you. Your follow through makes you reliable, believable, and trustworthy; three qualities of high worth in a person. Yet, despite this, you are not so arrogant or so stubborn as to be unwilling to change course should new evidence come to light.
That flexibility mentioned just above comes about, in part, because you are eager to learn and better yourself. You know that p erfection is impossible, but you strive towards growth both personally and spiritually. Instead of resting on your laurels, you look at all the potential you hold and you try to do something with it. You also have this amazing knack of balancing both a desire to grow and evolve, with a sense of pure contentment.
You know that all things are transient — they come and they go — so why get worked up about them? No, you have found peace in the knowledge that you are alive and well in the present moment, and this is all that really matters. Do not ever make a promise that you cannot keep. You should simply refuse rather than recant on your decision at the last minute.
Be as reliable as clockwork, and you will command respect. It is certainly not going to be easy to follow through on everything, but it is well worth the effort. There is nothing more impressive than being able to fluently talk about, for example, the happenings in Somalia or the H1B visa issue.
Try reading as much as possible in your spare time. Even better, make time for reading the newspaper every single day.
It will open you up to unique opportunities and will act as an interesting conversation starter when you meet new people. With all that said, the most important thing that you can do is treat each person that you meet as a celebrity.
Remember their names, mention it twice or thrice during the conversation. Smile when you talk to people. Make people comfortable when you talk to them. Even if you follow half of the tips given above, people would be impressed with you. Try to get out of this impressing business and start living for authentic self. So we try to impress others if we have low self-esteem. According to you is the converse, i.
Vice versa may or may not be true. Point to understand is if you have low-self esteem then you tend to be people pleaser. And Psychology is not like a mathematics like a boolean zero or one. Mainly one need to reflect and see if this is applicable to you or not. That may inadvertently reinforce need to impress. I agree completely…I was about to leave this in a comment, but you took the words out of my mouth!
I was overall very impressed by the article, but that comment was a total turnoff! Bearing in mind 8, and your comment about avoiding television I found was quite dismissive of TV in general. Television can be an intellectual, cultural and social medium for people.
But I really enjoyed your article nonetheless. I think I do most of this. I love my job, love nature and am authentic. I am looking for people to share with them many idealogies that keeps knocking my head every now and then and nfortunately when I speak to others no one undersatnds me much. I am seeking to express myself and to find people who share similar thoughts.
I live by this mindset.. I heard of the concept from a freind after he got what I was tryng to say. But I want to add something.. Then only u will be able to give even more and more.
If o get the bread u can share it. If you have fun, you can inspire others, but if you give more and more and more and u start by giving, pple abuse you, they will take from you for their own benefit and might even forget you or not care back about u. I dont mean to be selfish, I mean yes.. Yu need to know urself and help urself, then only u can help others. The horrible thing is that I have this innate need to impress others. I have been doing it since childhood. Now I try to live my life as much as I can on my terms.
Thank you for this list! Very well written article and a great list to emulate. I agree with every one of your points and try to practice them in day to day living…and it DOES make a tremendous difference in my quality of life. Thanks again for this fine report.
