Rule 5. Talk in terms of the man’s interest.
1. “The royal road to a man’s heart is to talk to him about the things he treasures most.”
Reflection: I believe that whenever you decide to talk to somebody you should always ask about them. This will definitely be an advantage for you, because this will make people talk positively about you. One way to start a good conversation that will not turn boring is by asking a good question about the other person. I believe that by doing this the conversation goes on and on, due to the fact that your learning something about the other person, and the other person shows who’s the real them and they start to wonder about you and they will also ask questions. Something I always do is that when I don’t find a topic to begin a conversation I usually start asking questions, which doesn’t bore me and doesn’t bore the other person. For example, when I enter a place that I don’t know anybody I usually am very shy. Something that prevents me from being alone is that I go up to people and start asking questions. Usually I ask questions that I know that if someday they ask me that I can answer it quickly. One should not get carried away with questions, because other people may think you’re just too noisy or something. So you have to remember that you have to limit yourself in a way that the other person will like you.
I will apply this in my life by asking more questions that will make the conversation last long, and be more interesting.
Rule 6. Make the other person feel important—and do it sincerely.
“The desire to be important is the deepest urge in a human nature.”
“Helping people feel important and appreciated works magic.”
Reflection: This is a very important act to do when you are trying to earn some friends. Doing positive things to your friends will obviously make them want your friendship even more, and they will also start being thankful for being your friend. By making the other person feel important that will show the other person how interested you are in them. When you show you care about someone you should to it sincerely. If you try to show a sort of fake care towards the other person, sooner or later they’ll notice. Everyone all over the world in one point in life they need someone who actually cares about them and loves them when they are going through hard times. For example, I personality try to show my friends I actually care about them, to show them what a true friend I am. I also try to show them that I care because I know I would like them to care about me too. As the saying goes treat others as you want to be treated. I believe that once you find out you have friends that truly care about you that bond will never end. 
I will apply this to my life by simply caring for others truthfully and open my heart to people I actually trust.

Overall Reflection: After reading and understanding the “Six Ways to Make People like You” I’ve concluded that it is actually pretty easy to earn true friends. All you basically have to do is be sincere and truthful to your friends, because you’ll get that back from them to. I’ve honestly learned many things I didn’t know, now when I talk to others I simply remember that I should always be interested on what they are saying and ask more questions that they’ll appreciate to answer. I believe that anyone can follow these rules, and once you do you’ll just have many new friends coming into your life. Something else I’ve learned is that when you ask questions about the other person it’s most likely they’ll ask you questions too. So once both persons are asking questions the conversation grows longer and more interesting. I have now promised myself that I will do all these aspects when meeting someone new, because not only will you get a new friend but you’ll also get known as a positive person. Overall I have now concluded that finding new friends isn’t hard at all, it all usually counts on how interested you are in them.
