In today’s world who doesn’t want to be appealing ? If u are reading this you probably wonder what makes some people so effortlessly irresistible compared to the rest. Remember every person is unique in his/her own way. If you are way too desperate to grab attention of your peers and people around you, you might end up doing it the wrong way! 

So here’s a list of things you must develop in yourself and you will become instantly likable..

1. Be polite. : Be polite with your seniors, your juniors, your peers, your servants. Treat everyone with respect. Understand what I am trying to say, there is a difference between being polite and being a pleaser. Being polite means being well mannered and that includes not poking nose in others business unnecessarily, and understanding that no one is less of a human being than you,. If you understand this fact clearly u are on the right track. If you are unnecessarily rude to people no one is going to like you. You get respect when you give respect.

2. Maintain a positive attitude: Positivity is something that attracts everyone. Having a positive person around helps a lot. You will always like spending time with someone who looks at the positive side of things compared to the person who only complains about how cruel this world has been on them. Build and maintain a positive attitude. It will keep you stress free and happy. These are two things that people envy the most now days.

 3. Be hygienic: Nothing else is a big turnoff than a bad odour.  Maintain hygiene. Bathe everyday Wear clean, washed and ironed clothes , cut your nail, wash your hands whenever required , keep a handkerchief with you, cover your mouth when you yawn or sneeze, use a Dustbin. These are the things we’re taught in KG but some people tend to forget these. Hygiene is something that again everyone likes or let me put it this way that nobody likes being around a person with unhygienic habits.

 4. Dress to impress: like they say you can have anything you want if you dress for it. We are all walking business cards: the way u dress is simply how you first introduce yourself to the world. Your clothes define who you are. Dress up nicely not just to impress others but do it for yourself, for confidence.

It is important to figure out what interests you most and then work hard in order to brush up your skills. For example you could be good at dancing and if that interests you then join some dance classes and learn different dance forms and participate in your school functions and other platform to showcase your talent. You could be good at dancing, singing, dramatics, public speaking, at playing musical instruments, at sports or athletics, at sketching, painting , cooking, baking etc the list is long...You need to figure out for yourself what you are exactly good at and what you enjoy doing.
