CHARISMA


Charm and charisma are two things that matter in every man’s trip to the land of fulfillment for his dreams.

He may labor so much for his ambitions, goals and visions but this is not enough to take him there.

Hard work, persistence, patience, determination and all the rest of the rigid qualities that make a man stand for his objectives are all praiseworthy, but aren’t these the hard way of doing it? Or does he lack 1 or two more qualities as his ticket towards a simpler, easier way to success?

Today I'd like to tell about a simple step one can take to make a huge positive change in both his business and personal relationships... and how much faster success will then start to come.

It’s about developing a simple but highly important trait: charm and charisma.

A majority of successful people are charismatic individuals - and their charisma is one more reason that they are very rich.

Charisma is the ability to make other people feel good about themselves. It makes them like you and want to work with you and do things for you. Having that kind of support from the people around you is a huge help. Maya Angelou has this to say: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”.

Charisma is a learned skill. Even the shyest people can transform themselves into charismatic individuals…by simply showing interest in other people.

People thirst for acknowledgment, friendship and sympathy. A person showing these to others will make him likeable and pleasing.

No man is an island and no man stands alone in any endeavor of life. While it is true that the “hard qualities” are big factors in determining success, these are by no means greater than having charisma along with the package.

Charisma is one of the keys to make things easier because every dream, every ambition, every endeavor and every effort in any man’s pursuit of success and happiness involves the help of other men, and charisma is the thing that secretly opens their hearts to offer help, support and perhaps sympathy.

This is a great post- It really applies to the teaching world.
Many love their teachers because of the way the teacher makes them FEEL.
