  • Hey guys!

  • Today I want to talk to you about how to be attractive.

  • And no, we're not talking about the attractiveness between the opposite sex.

  • I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression.

  • But I'm talking about, as a person in general, how to present yourself in a way that you stand out.

  • How to present yourself in a way that people simply enjoy having you around and wanna make friends with you.

  • So this is from my personal experience.

  • A couple years ago I was at a wedding banquet - It was a friend of mine.

  • In fact, I knew both the bride and groom

  • They were good friends.

  • I was seated at this table with a bunch of college friends.

  • To be specific, they were my junior classmates.

  • I remember one of them striking up a conversation with me, and to be honest, we didn't know each other that well back in the days (day).

  • At least that's what I thought.

  • In fact, I don't recall me and him talking that much back in school.

  • But in a friendly tone, he told me something that was really touching.

  • He said..."Joe, thank you so much for always wearing that sunny smile on your face. It always gave me a warm feeling."

  • And I was like, "Wow, I'm flattered. Thank you very much for letting me know."

  • We might not have known each other that well, but after so many years, he remembered that smile.

  • Hmm.

  • I was more than happy to hear that.

  • In fact, I was thankful to him for letting me know.

  • Cuz like I was totally unaware of how such a subtle thing could bring such good impact to other people.

  • I'm not bragging, in fact, let's admit, every one of us... like me, I put on my poker faces every now and then.

  • It's not like I'm smiley faces every day.

  • But just saying, the slightest, the most subtle act could be making a big difference in other peoples' lives.

  • We could be making other people's day(s).

  • You don't have to put on makeup.

  • You don't have to wear fancy clothes.

  • You don't have to get in shape.

  • Well, it would be good to get in shape for health's sake.

  • Having good looks is always a plus.

  • Let's be clear about that

  • But the fact is the majority of us are not Tom Cruise or Scarlett Johansson.

  • And that's fine.

  • Cuz there is one thing that is natural in you and me.

  • No matter what skin color you are.

  • No matter what language you speak.

  • No matter what cultural background you come from.

  • That thing is your smile.

  • It's a universal language shared among all seven billion people around the world.

  • It's the best gift you could ever give someone you meet.

  • Except for a million dollars.

  • I'm just kidding.

  • So, if I were to give you one tip on how to be attractive.

  • That would be, put on your smile.

  • Cuz it makes you look good.

  • Remember this and keep it in mind.

  • "Water runs from high ground to low, and people run to where love overflows."

  • Be kind, be nice, be loving, and people will run to you.

  • Peace.

Hey guys!
