Since you only have one life to live, you might as well make the most of it and have the best life there is. Having great friends around is part of the joy in living. And have you ever dreamed of having lots and lots of friends around you in order to have a better life? It is true what they say that no matter how successful you may be, life would seem dull, boring and meaningless without true friends in our lives. Now, the million dollar question is, how can you make more and more pals than you can handle? Of course, there are just so many ways and ideas to do it. And all of them possibly have some value or merit in them. However, this is not always that easy but if a better life and having more great friends were easy and simple, then you will already have them. Actually, when you truly get down to it, all you really need is the capacity to heed and follow the tip or advice of Dan Reiland who was once quoted of saying, ‘How could you acquire charisma? So be more concerned in making other people feel good about themselves than you are at making them feel good about yourself.’ In short, you should make it your top priority to help other people have a better life if you also want to live a better life yourself by having more friends. Let me share with you a few ways that you could be more concerned about other people. 1. For a better life, serve your way to more friends. If ever you hear of a person or a loved one that needs help or aid in something, try and exert effort to be the first one to lend a hand. Also, be generous to people with your efforts, time, skills, advices or even with your smiles and in no time, you would have people swarming around your circle, eager and wanting you to be their friend. 2. Buy your way to have more engaging friends. No, I do not literally mean to buy your friends, but spending just a little of your money could go a long way in making a lot of pals. You do not have to break the bank or go broke in doing this, but it is quite amazing what a small bit of pocket change could do to help encourage and inspire other people. For example, one of the best and effective ways in making a loved one feel good about themselves is to send them a greeting card. Well, this seems to be quite easier for a woman than a man, but guys could always find ways and means to do this as well. Buying a person a cup of coffee is a best example for men. 3. Listen your way to have more friends. Have you ever been in a conversation with a person and all you could think about while they are speaking is what you are going to say next? This is actually one of the ways to stop making more fruitful friendships. Rather than thinking of what to say, simply listen. The simple act of listening can do wonders for your friendships.
