6 Secrets to be Likable

1. Wish People on special occasions like their Birthday, Anniversary, etc. It makes people feel loved and appreciated. This simple but powerful habit will make people feel special. Appreciate their goodness for no reason. It feels great.
2. Do some random acts of Kindness- Once my Dad was bringing two bags full of groceries and vegetables from a nearby market at a 2 minute walk. One 18-20 year boy who stayed in the locality and knew us came to him and took one bag from him despite his refusal and came with the bag to our home. My Dad was strong enough to carry the bags on his own. But, this simple gesture touched him and he was impressed with the courtesy of that boy.
3. Be genuinely interested in helping others- Always be ready to genuinely helping others. Many people will not ask for help but if you can be helpful in some ways then offer your help without hurting the other person’s self respect. You have to do it in a way that it looks trivial and unimportant. Never try to make someone obliged to your favors. Help others with detachment but don’t forget the help you get from others.
4. Be honest and don't hide your imperfections. Try to improve them- Often in the morning, I mess up with the keys, mobiles, chargers, earphones, pen, etc. Some days ago, my flatmate told me that it would be great if I can keep all these things on my bag so that I don’t miss anything. From next day, I kept doing it and guess what? People do notice these things. He was glad and happy that I implemented what he told me. Ask him if I am likable. I hope the answer would be “yes”.  These small things go unnoticed but matters a lot.
5. Smile. Entertain. Encourage- Make someone smile, entertain people and encourage those who need it. Words are powerful, use them wisely. But, don’t do all these things just to impress someone. Be good and do good things without any expectation. Try doing it more often and your life will be more fulfilling and simplified.
6. Be more beautiful with each passing day- Beauty is about the heart, mind and soul. Pamper them, make them better and positive. Eliminate the negativity out of your life.  Be a source of inspiration and people will find you likable.

And most important things, give more than you have promised (so two bonus tips).

There will be always some people who will dislike you no matter what happens. So, don't get affected by them. You have to be good not to be likable however, You become likable when you are good.

When you start respecting other’s point of view, stop judging them and  start learning from them  then you become likable.
