This Saturday I went to my girlfriend little sister birthday party. I had a really fun time. I danced a bit with my girlfriend which is rare because I don't like to dance much because i'm not really good. Then I met her best friends. I can't remember all of there names but I eventually will. But her friends seemed like fun people to hang out with. I had a fun time with my girlfriend and her friends just fooling around. Then after they all left like at around 1:00am or 2:00am and the party was coming to an end. So my girlfriend and I started cleaning up and took us about an hour. Then everyone left and we watched a movie for about 30 minutes and then I had to leave home because it was 3:30am. 

4 Ways to Remember Peoples Names

1. Commit 
Begin by making a commitment to remember peoples names 
Don’t let yourself off easy, blaming a “bad memory. Forgetting names is due less to a bad memory than to a lack of application. Tell yourself that you can remember names if you want to and if you work at it.

2. Concentrate 
You can only remember what you observe. If you are distracted or not paying attention to the persons name then you might not remember it. Listen to the persons name, and if you forgot it or don't remember ask the person "Sorry, I missed your name. Can you give it to me again?"

3. Repeat 
You can say the name immediately, say it multiple times in your head, use it in the conversation without overdoing, use it when leaving or even writing it down afterwards.

How to Win Friends and Influence People

                                                   Six Ways to Make People Like You 

1. Become genuinely interested in other people 
Becoming interested in people will make people really like you. You can really make a lot of friends if you become interested in others. "Do this and you will be welcome anywhere." I agree with this, many people will see that you are interested and care for them and are not a bad person so many people will think why not. It's a nice thing to be interested in other people and you will get some benefits from it.

2. Smile
To smile is an important way to make people like you. People don't really like to see others with a frown on their face. Smiling also makes you look better and a happier person. "Actions speak louder than words, and a smile says, "I like you. You make me happy. I am glad to see you." This quote can be true to people you actually like and makes you happy to see them. Personally I think I smile a lot. I smile when I get happy to see people I really want to see like my parents, my girlfriend and best friends.

3. Remember names
Remembering names is very important to make people like you. "A man's name is to him the sweetest and most important sound in any language." Remembering peoples names will also help you communicate with others. It also allows you to make more friends. "If you don't remember names, you are headed for trouble." This quote can be true, you will need to remember peoples names and if you don't they might think they might be irrelevant to you, and it can also be a little disrespectful.

4. Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves
Being a good listener is a very important to win friends. People like when others listen to them about themselves and what's going on in their lives. "If you aspire to be a good conversationalist, be an attentive listener." I agree with this quote because to have a good conversation you must listen. I think I am a good listener. For example, if someone has a question on what they should do on something, I listen and give my opinion.

5. Talk in terms of the other man's interest
Talk about what the other person is interested about. This is important because they will like talking about their interest. "The royal road to a man's heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most.If I am trying to have a conversation with someone I will mention something they like. You can have a fun long conversation with a person over thing they are interested in. They can be interested in a sport, music, art, dancing, etc.                                                                                                
6. Make the other person feel important and do it sincerely
Making others feel important is a good way to make friends. People like feeling important, it makes them feel special and most likely they will want to talk to you more because you make people feel important. "The desire to be important is the deepest urge in human nature." (Johm Dewey)"Helping people feel important and appreciated works magic. I really like when people tell me something that I was involved in or something it makes me feel good. I think I make others feel important. For example, in the soccer team I ask people if they are going to the game or practice because we need everyone in the team to go.

Final Reflection: These six ways on how to win friends and influence people is pretty accurate to me. I believe all these ways are true. I do some of these ways as well. I usually always smile when I meet people. I am a good listener, I make people feel important and talk about their interests. Those are the rules I feel that I do well in. The rest I should improve because they are also very important.
