How to Be Likeable and Attract More People than You Can Handle

Memorize Academy 2022-06-16 | Too many people think being likeable comes from being incredibly good looking, extremely social or amazingly talented. But that’s not true, being likeable is completely under your control, it’s a matter of emotional intelligence.

So here are 13 of the key behaviors that emotionally intelligent people do that make them so likeable.

1. Ask questions
2. Put away your phone
3. Be genuine
4. Don't pass judgement
5. Don't seek attention
6. Be consistent
7. Use positive body language
8. Leave a strong first impression
9. Greet people by name
10. Smile :)
11. Know when to open up
12. Know who to touch (and do it)
13. Balance passion and fun

How to Get Motivated and Find Your Spark - Rule #5

Memorize Academy 2018-02-01 | How to get motivated and find your spark - rule number 5.

There was a former Undersecretary of Defense who was invited to give a speech at a large conference, about a thousand people. And he was standing on the stage with his cup of coffee and a Styrofoam cup giving his prepared remarks with his PowerPoint behind him.

And he took a sip of his coffee and he smiled and he looked down at the coffee and then he went off-script and he said “You know, last year I spoke at this exact same conference. Last year I was still the undersecretary, and when I spoke here last year they flew me here business class, and when I arrived at the airport there was somebody waiting for me to take me to my hotel. And they took me to my hotel and they had already checked me in and they just took me up to my room, and the next morning I came downstairs and there was someone waiting in the lobby to greet me, and they drove me to this here same venue. They took me through the back entrance and took me into the green room and handed me a cup of coffee in a beautiful ceramic cup”.

He says, “I'm no longer the undersecretary. I flew here coach, I took a taxi to my hotel, and I checked myself in. When I came down the lobby this morning I took another taxi to this venue. I came in the front door and found my way backstage, and when I asked someone do you have any coffee he pointed to the coffee machine in the corner and I poured myself a cup of coffee into this here Styrofoam cup”.

He says, “The lesson is the ceramic cup was never meant for me, it was meant for the position I held. I deserve a Styrofoam cup”.

Remember this – as you gain fame, as you gain fortune, as you gain position and seniority. People will treat you better, they will hold doors open for you, they will get you a cup of tea and coffee without you even asking. They will call you sir and ma'am and they will give you stuff.

None of that stuff is meant for you. That stuff is meant for the position you hold. It is meant for the level that you have achieved, of leader or success or whatever you want to call it. But you will always deserve a Styrofoam cup. Remember that, remember that lesson of humility and gratitude. You can accept all the free stuff, you can accept all the perks absolutely, you can enjoy them, but just be grateful for them and know that they're not for you.

I remember getting off the Acela. I took the Acela from New York to Washington DC, and I got off the train like everybody else and I was walking down the platform like everyone else and I walked past General Norty Schwarz who used to be the chief of staff of the United States Air Force - the head of the Air Force.

And here I did you see a guy in a suit schlepping his own suitcase down the platform just like me, and just a couple months ago he was flying on private jets and he had an entourage and other people carried his luggage. But he no longer held the position, and so now he got to drag his own suitcase. And never did it sort of remind me more that none of us deserve the perks that we get.

We all deserve a Styrofoam cup.

How to Get Motivated and Find Your Spark - Rule #4

Memorize Academy 2018-01-25 | How to get motivated and find your spark - rule number 4.

Nelson Mandela is a particularly special case study in the leadership world because he is universally regarded as a great leader.

You can take other personalities and depending on the nation you go to we have different opinions about other personalities but Nelson Mandela across the world is universally regarded as a great leader.

He was actually the son of a tribal chief and he was asked one day “How did you learn to be a great leader?”

And he responded that he would go with his father to tribal meetings and he remembers two things when his father would meet with other elders. One – they would always sit in a circle, and Two – his father was always the last to speak.

You will be told your whole life that you need to learn to listen. I would say that you need to learn to be the last to speak. I see it in boardrooms every day of the week, even people who consider themselves good leaders, who may actually be decent leaders, will walk into a room and say here's the problem, here's what I think but I'm interested in your opinion, let's go around the room. It's too late.

The skill to hold your opinions to yourself until everyone has spoken does two things.

One, it gives everybody else the feeling that they have been heard, it gives everyone else the ability to feel that they have contributed.

And two, you get the benefit of hearing what everybody else has to think before you render your opinion.

The skill is really to keep your opinions to yourself. If you agree with somebody, don't nod yes. If you disagree with somebody, don't nod no. Simply sit there, take it all in and the only thing you're allowed to do is ask questions, so that you can understand what they mean and why they have the opinion that they have.

You must understand from where they are speaking, why they have the opinion they have, not just what they are saying. And at the end you will get your turn. It sounds easy, it's not. Practice being the last to speak, that's what Nelson Mandela did.

How to Get Motivated and Find Your Spark - Rule #3

Memorize Academy 2018-01-18 | How to get motivated and find your spark - rule number 3.

The United States Navy SEALs are perhaps the most elite warriors in the world, and one of the SEALs was asked who makes it through the selection process. Who is able to become a SEAL?

And his answer was – “I can't tell you the kind of person that becomes a SEAL. I can't tell you the kind of person that makes it through BUD/S. But I can tell you the kind of people who don't become SEALs”.

He says “The guys that show up with huge bulging muscles covered in tattoos who want to prove to the world how tough they are, none of them make it through”.

He said “The preening leaders who like to delegate all their responsibility and never do anything themselves none of them make it through”.

He said “The star college athletes who've never really been tested to the core of their being none of them make it through”.

He says “Some of the guys that make it through are skinny and scrawny”.

He said “Some of the guys that make it through you will see them shivering out of fear”.

He says “However all the guys that make it through – when they find themselves physically spent, emotionally spent, when they have nothing left to give physically or emotionally somehow, someway, they are able to find the energy to dig down deep inside themselves to find the energy to help the guy next to them. They become SEALs”, he said.

You want to be an elite warrior it's not about how tough you are, it's not about how smart you are, it's not about how fast you are.

If you want to be an elite warrior you better get really, really good at helping the person to the left of you and helping the person to the right of you, because that's how people advance in the world.

The world is too dangerous and the world is too difficult for you to think that you can do these things alone. If you find your spark I commend you. Now – who you going to ask for help and when are you going to accept help when it's offered?

Learn that skill. Learn by practicing helping each other. It'll be the single most valuable thing you ever learn in your entire life. To accept help when it's offered and to ask for it when you know that you can't do it.

The amazing thing is when you learn to ask for help you'll discover that there are people all around you who've always wanted to help you, they just didn't think you needed it because you kept pretending that you had everything under control.

And the minute you say “I don't know what I'm doing, I'm stuck, I'm scared, I don't think I can do this” you will find that lots of people who love you will rush in and take care of you - but that'll only happen if you learn to take care of them first.

How to Get Motivated and Find Your Spark - Rule #2

Memorize Academy 2018-01-11 | How to get motivated and find your spark - rule number 2.

Rule number two. In the 18th century there was something that spread across Europe and eventually made its way to America called puerperal fever also known as the Black Death of Childbed.

Basically what was happening is women were giving birth and they would die within 48 hours after giving birth. This Black Death of childbirth was the ravage of Europe and it got worse and worse and worse over the course of over a century.

In some hospitals it was as high as 70 percent of women who gave birth who would die as a result of giving birth, but this was the Age of Enlightement, this was the time of empirical data and science and we had thrown away things like tradition and mysticism.

These were men of science, these were doctors and these doctors and men of science wanted to study and try and find the reason for this black death of childbed and so they got to work studying. And they would study the corpses of the women who had died and in the morning they would conduct autopsies and then in the afternoon they would go and deliver babies and finish their rounds.

And it wasn't until somewhere in the mid-1800s that Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes father of Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes realized that all of these doctors who were conducting autopsies in the morning weren't washing their hands before they delivered babies in the afternoon.

And he pointed it out and said guys you're the problem and they ignored him and called him crazy for 30 years until finally somebody realized that if they simply washed their hands it would go away and that's exactly what happened. When they started sterilizing their instruments and washing their hands, the black death of childbed disappeared.

My point is the lesson here is sometimes you're the problem. We've seen this happen all too recently with our new men of science and empirical studies and these men of finance who are smarter than the rest of us until the thing collapsed and they blamed everything else except themselves and my point is - is take accountability for your actions.

You can take all the credit in the world for the things that you do right as long as you also take responsibility for the things you do wrong, it must be a balanced equation.

You don't get it one way and not the other - you get to take credit when you also take accountability. That's lesson 2.

How to Get Motivated and Find Your Spark - Rule #1

Memorize Academy 2018-01-04 | How to get motivated and find your spark with five little rules.

I have five little rules that you can follow as you find your spark and bring your spark to life.

The first is to go after the things that you want.

Let me tell you a story. So a friend of mine and I we went for a run in Central Park. The Roadrunners organization on the weekend they host races and it's very common at the end of the race they'll have a sponsor who will give away something apples or bagels or something.

And on this particular day when we got to the end of the run there were some free bagels and they had picnic tables set up and on one side was a group of volunteers, on the table were boxes of bagels and on the other side was a long line of runners waiting to get their free bagel.

So I said to my friend let's get a bagel and he looked at me and said that line’s too long and I said free bagel and he said I don't want to wait in line and I was like free bagel and he says nah it's too long and that's when I realized that there's two ways to see the world.

Some people see the thing that they want and some people see the thing that prevents them from getting the thing that they want.

I could only see the bagels he could only see the line and so I walked up to the line I leaned in between two people put my hand in the box and pulled out two bagels and no one got mad at me because the rule is you can go after whatever you want you just cannot deny anyone else to go after whatever they want.

Now I had to sacrifice choice I didn't get to choose which bagel I got.

I got whatever I pulled out but I didn't have to wait in line so the point is - you don't have to wait in line, you don't have to do it the way everybody else has done it, you can do your way, you can break the rules, you just can't get in the way of somebody else getting what they want.

At the end of Video 4, a vine crashed right into a sign.

The sign threatened to throw a plate.

The plate began building a wall made of bricks.

From behind the wall jumped a ghost yelling ‘Boo!’

The ghost floated away and through a golden gate.

The gate was suddenly picked up by a hero.

The hero was chased by a large bee.

The bee was swatted out of the sky by an oar.

The oar got romantic and went on a date.

The oars food order was taken by a shoe.

The shoe ran away from the table and took a dive.

The diving shoe crashed straight into a tree.

In the side of the tree opened a door.

From the door emerged a cow with a loud ‘moo!’

The cow was hungry and started eating a sun.

The sun didn’t like that and pulled out a gun.

The gun floated up and up all the way to heaven.

Out of heaven’s gates appeared a hero.

The musical hero started playing with drum sticks.

The drum sticks suddenly turned into bread made from leaven.

The leavened bread decided to celebrate with a glass of wine.
