I’m not an EMO.. starting today! :)

maybe the right term is ‘too serious’ and I’ll accept that as a compliment. I’m not EMO. I just, well, like to complain on how horrible my situation is whenever I’m feeling it. and when it comes to the ‘happy’ parts of my life, well I keep it to myself. :) “release the negativity, and absorb the positivity”. I’ve seen your blogs and read it (perhaps some) and I was surprise that you… yah YOU.. can answer some of the things I always ask.. 

I can’t believe how you’ve grown for these past few years.. missing you a lot li’l dude. :) ehem sorry for that. You’re no longer a ‘lil dude’ :)

Reading People

Attitude is “Critical”.

You have to master the following skills, and you’ll be ready to read people.

1. Spend more time with people. That’s the best way to learn to understand them.

2. Stop, Look, and Listen. There’s no substitute for patience and attentiveness.

3. Lean to reveal something for yourself. To get other to open up, you must first open up to them.

4. Know what you’re looking for. Unless you know what you want in another person, there’s a good chance you’ll be disappointed.

5. Train yourself to beobjective. Objectivity is essential to reading people, but it’s the hardest of these seven skills for most of us to master.

6.Start from scratch, without biases and prejudices.

7. Make a decision, then act on it.

When we do get together, we may be more comfortable saying what is expected or “politically correct” than what we really believe. Self-revelation comes hard to most people;those who confess their innermost secrets on afternoon talk shows are the exception, not the rule.

Majority of people we see each day are strangers and therefore suspect. Because we fear them, we often avoid contact, and as a result we don’t use our social skills as often as we could.Our people-reading muscles have atrophied for lack of exercise.

With willpower and persistence, we can sharpen any of our senses. 

Pay attention, or pay the consequences.

Decisions are no better than the information on which they’re based. Incorrect or incomplete information can lead to an incorrect conclusion-garbage in, garbage out. So before you can effectively read people, you need to gather reliable information about them. When people fail to be attentive and focused, the consequences can be regrettable.

Communication is a two-way street

The best way to establish this trust is to reveal something of yourself. Let people read you to some extent, and they will feel more comfortable. As their comfort level increases, they will open up to you. It’s simple-if you want a clear view of another person, you must offer a glimpse of yourself.
