Be interested in people. I love the book, "How To Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie. This is probably the most important business manual you could ever read.

Be very careful when using humour around people you don't know. Something that may seem funny to us may be offensive to others, or may not be taken in the way that you intend. This can create a lifetime of bad memories.

Don't be a know-it-all. Let others have the last word and treat others the way you'd like to be treated if you were in their shoes...

There is only one way to make and keep friends. It starts and finishes with learning to like yourself. People are drawn to those who are relaxed and let relationships grow at their own pace. In other words, don't try so hard,and the friends will come.

Value each person as an individual. Help people and dont expect returned favours. Give help even when you are busy and by being helpful all the time you will get respect. Dont worry if you dont receive help back, the feeling of having helped is thanks.

Treat others as you would like to be treated. Whenever giving constructive criticism, follow up with a compliment and end the conversation on a good note!

Be more interested in the other person than you are in yourself. People who engage others with real interest are very likable -- and attractive. The cute person may turn heads, but the listener is the one you keep as a friend.

The key to getting people to like you is to help them like themselves. In doing so, they are going to like you back.

We like people who are like us. When you meet someone new, do your best to quickly discover what you have in common. It will lead to likeability.

We like people who like us. Make a point to let people know that you like them. When you do, they will like you back. The opposite is also true. If you don't like someone, they won't like you. Watch what you say about others.

We like people who elevate our mood. This is universally true. When you make someone smile or laugh or feel better about themselves, they will associate you with their good feelings.

If you love irony and your style tends to be sarcastic, hold back around people you don't know very well. Sarcasm can come off as aggressive or can be easily misunderstood. Save it for the people who really "get you".

Do not criticize or judge others. People have to be able to make their own decisions, and will only become defensive if criticized and will not want to be around those who have judged them. Also never speak ill of anyone to others! Just causes ill will.

Look for what you like and appreciate in others, and then they will automatically find you more likeable in return.
