How to Win friends and influence People 

Six Ways to Make people Like you . If you want people to like you ........

1. Become genuinely interested in others

As always – we start with the WHY?! The reason we ask this question is quite simple – what is the purpose of becoming genuinely interested in other people? Is it know them as a friend, is it to know more about life itself? Is it to understand different people and connect to them? Is it to ask that person out on a date? Or are you trying to know more about people cos you really like knowing?
Try and answer this why cos it gives us a better clarity to approach the situation. 
2.Smile 
1. "Action speaker louder than words, and smile says, "I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you"
2. "You don't feel like smiling ? Then force yourself to smile."
3."It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign (witness or indication )of friends 
This second way to make people like you is very special gesture that should be use on a every day use.Nobody needs a smile so much as the one who has none to give. So get used to smiling heart-warming smiles, and you will spread sunshine in a sometimes dreary world. 

Rule 3: Remember names
1) "A man's name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language ."
1) "If you don't remember names , you are headed for trouble."
These are some ways you can try to remember a person name Repeat, Repeat, Repeat. The most surefire strategy is to repeat the person’s name–both in your head, and out loud–as soon as possible after you’ve been introduced. Occasionally use the person’s name in conversation. “Pleasure to meet you, Bob,” or “Bob, so good to see you.” Don’t overdo it, of course, but don’t worry that Bob will recoil, either. He’d rather you remember his name than not.

Find The Trigger. Try to associate names with things people tell you about themselves (careers, hobbies) that will trigger the sound or association of the name in your mind. Fred likes to fish, Margarita runs a bar–you get the idea. “You have to search in the moment for something familiar,” says Spiegel. “It’s a simple trick, but it just sticks.”

 

Rule4: Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.

1)"If you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an attentive listener."

2)"Remember that the man you are talking to is a hundred times more interested in himself and his wants and his problems than he is in you and your problems."

Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves means to pay attention to others conversations. When you talk to someone you want them to pay attention to you so you should do the same. You wouldn't want to talk to someone and it looks like your talking to a wall because they are not listening. It is disrespectful when you are somewhere else when someone is talking to you. If you don’t pay attention that person will lose interest because they will think they are wasting their time since you are not listening. For example if you are talking to your friend but also texting. You should put your phone away and turn it off if you want so you can pay full attention and not ask later to repeat it.

Rule 5: Talk in terms of the other man;s interest 

"The royal road to a man's heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most."

What this means is that when you talk to someone you should talk to them about what they want to achieve in life. Such as what their plans are for their future, what their goals are in life, what or who they care about the most, and who knows you'll probably find some things in common. Once you figure out or they tell you what they care the most about you should feel sensitive to their response because sometimes it's not easy for a man to tell you their deepest secrets such as what or who they care about the most. Trying to make a connection with someone at first may seem a bit difficult cause they're not responding or because it just gets awkward. It gets easier the more you try to talk to someone though. This makes men sometimes vulnerable because they just told you something thats very important to them and like i said some find it hard to talk about themselves or their families. I guess in a way it makes them soft because they don't have to act all that anymore since you got to know them personally. 

Rule 6: Make the other person feel important--and do it sincerely.

"The desire to be important is the deepest urge in human nature." (John Dewey)"Helping people feel important and appreciated works magic.

Don’t you enjoy it when people treat you like you’re important? It can be humbling at times but I know I enjoy it and I bet you do too. If we enjoy it then why not spread the joy and allow others to feel the same way? Here are a few simple things anyone can do to convey a sense of importance to another person:

Show respect – Respect comes easily through good manners with phrases like, “Yes please,” “No thank you,” “Excuse me” and “Please forgive me.” These are simple and none assumes anything from the other person.

Use their name – As I shared in the article a rose by any other name , the sweetest sound to any person is the sound of their own name. People feel important when identified by name because it humanizes them.

Golden Rule – Treat people the way you’d like to be treated or the way you’d like someone to treat a loved one. This kind of behavior tends to come back to you. Earl Hickey calls it karma.

Fine Reputation – We will explore Carnegie’s advice to give the other person a fine reputation to live up to later in this series. For now know this; conveying belief in another person can help them achieve more than they thought possible and make them feel more important than ever before. Give that gift.

We make requests of people every single day because we need other people. Recognizing that fact, this blog is intended to help you learn to hear “Yes!” The more friends you make, the easier it is to influence people and hear “Yes!” But it’s not just about getting what you want. It’s about building relationships and enjoying our lives more because of those relationships. Make another person feel important today and that’s one step in the right direction them and for you.

UCLA 

1.University of California, Los Angeles

2.UCLA Requirements for Admission

What are UCLA's admission requirements? While there are a lot of pieces that go into a college application, you should focus on only a few critical things:

GPA requirements

Testing requirements, including SAT and ACT requirements

Application requirements

In this guide we'll cover what you need to get into UCLA and build a strong application.

School location: Los Angeles, CA

This school is also known as: UCLA, UC Los Angeles, University of California, Los Angeles

Admissions Rate: 20%

If you want to get in, the first thing to look at is the acceptance rate. This tells you how competitive the school is and how serious their requirements are.

The acceptance rate at UCLA is 20%. For every 100 applicants, 20 are admitted.

This means the school is very selective. If you meet UCLA's requirements for GPA, SAT/ACT scores, and other components of the application, you have a great shot at getting in. But if you fall short on GPA or your SAT/ACT scores, you'll have a very low chance of being admitted, even if you meet the other admissions requirements.

UCLA GPA Requirements

Many schools specify a minimum GPA requirement, but this is often just the bare minimum to submit an application without immediately getting rejected.

The GPA requirement that really matters is the GPA you need for a real chance of getting in. For this, we look at the school's average GPA for its current students.

Average GPA: 4.29

The average GPA at UCLA is 4.29.
