Tips On How To Be Pleasant!

16. Be careful when talking about yourself. People are easily annoyed whenever others keep on boasting about things they’ve done and achieved. If you’re not giving advice on something you’ve done, ask yourself if it’s really necessary to talk about your achievements.

17. It’s good to be quiet, but not all the time. There are times when we need to be pleasant in conversations. One of the most awkward conversations I’ve had were with people who wouldn’t talk back, I felt like I was alone in that conversation and the thought of avoiding them in the future did cross my mind.

18. Don’t be a tick. If you enjoy someone’s presence, don’t let your enjoyment turn into an obsession. Give the person some space, don’t glue on her every move.

19. Be a giver. Giver of time and giver of gifts. If you want to be pleasant but you hardly give anything to anyone, you’ll have a hard time ever being considered a pleasant person.

Think about the people that you love and admire so much, why do you do so? Because they gave you something without asking anything in return. Do the same to others.

20. Don’t talk about others and don’t share things that are not relevant to everyone you know. A pleasant person speaks about relevant things.

21. Have a sense of style. People who don’t know how to dress their body type will often feel inferior to those who do and because of their inferiority, they won’t feel so free to be who they are. Work on your own style, create an image for yourself. Are you fun? Wear colors. Are you cute, wear flowers. Are you creative? Wear mixed things. Show your personality by the way you dress, that’s a very pleasant sight to look at.

22. Never make yourself the center of attention, and that includes when you’re on Facebook. Don’t post a picture of yourself posing to the camera just to show everyone how beautiful you looked that day. If you’re going to post a picture, post pictures with others and of others. You should enjoy celebrating others more than celebrating yourself.

23. If you say you’ll do something, do it right away. If you borrow something from someone, return it as soon as possible. Don’t owe anyone anything, that’s one of the most unpleasant ways of dealing with others.

24. Think of others whenever you do anything. Put yourself in their shoes. If you’re removing your car from the parking lot and there’s someone waiting for you, don’t take your time to put on the seatbelt, look yourself in the mirror, see where you left the cellphone, or call someone. It’s never pleasant to leave others waiting on you and for you.

25. Don’t be too quick to dismiss other people’s opinions. If you don’t like someone’s opinion, you can say you’ll need to think about it more, don’t just say you don’t like it and that’s it. A pleasant person listens and thinks. Always remember that.

26. Learn how to be a multi- task woman . Women who can’t do too many things at once are often the ones left behind carrying the bags. In this day and age, we need to be able to do a lot at once so we can get somewhere soon. Be there for your family and friends and at the same time, be busy. Take care of your house and at the same time, of yourself. Don’t just do one or the other - it’s just not pleasant at all.

27. Mind your own business. What the person did last weekend, where she went, where she’s traveling to is really none of your business unless she gladly offers it to you... You may not think this is relevant for you but think about the times you’ve asked people where they bought something they were wearing... it’s not pleasant nor discreet at all. If you like something you saw someone wear, look for it yourself and try to avoid buying the exact same thing, have some personality.

28. When answering the phone, make sure you do it in a soft pleasant voice. Don’t ever go ‘YES’ or ‘WHO IS THIS?’ at first. Say ‘Hello’, let the person introduce herself and then make sure you go ‘Hello, how are you?’ or ‘Good morning!’.

29. Don’t avoid being home. Your home should never ever be avoided, no matter what you do in life. Learn how to love your home. Every woman needs to understand that she’s also a homemaker. We can be a homemaker or a home-breaker. You can work the whole day and still take good care of your home. It’s so pleasant to be with women who know how to cook, clean, and be a homemaker. They know how to decorate anywhere they go, they’re always so clean and tidy, and often admired by other women.

30. Be happy for others’ success. If you’re truly not, pray that God changes your heart as this is one of the most basic Christian traits.
