  • Hey guys welcome back to Let's Talk, this is me Meera and today is one of my favorite

  • lessons to be frank with you, we usually face this problem these days, whenever we want

  • to describe any friends or family or any one such person, we always use two to three lines

  • for describing them, and it gets very confusing for the person who's listening to us. What

  • if, I tell you that I have really interesting words to describe that person in just one

  • word, so like you can see I have few sentences over here, which basically describe that personality,

  • and I'm going to tell you one word replacement for all of those. Today we just have ten,

  • but I'm sure we could have more in the coming videos. We are going to take a look at these,

  • but the last one is my personal favorite, so wait and watch what's going to happen.

  • Once I tell you word by word and sentence by sentence, try to tag your friends, right,

  • on whatever social media you are on, and let's see what happens to your friends when they

  • get to know that word for them. Right, so let's get going, the first person, someone

  • who is too strong to be defeated, so now when we're talking about this person, he's someone

  • or she's someone who cannot get defeated mentally or physically and who's so strong, can you

  • guess? Just try and guess what could be just one word description for that person? No,

  • not Superman, come on that's not what I'm talking about, but that's a great word, right?

  • He's someone who cannot be defeated and that person is, “invincible”. So whenever you

  • want to talk about that person you can say, you know what, he will not give up, he is

  • not giving up, he is invincible. Or if you want to say, my mother is so strong she is

  • invincible. Isn't that a great word? And plus, nowadays Twitter, Instagram all these places

  • have really limited use of words, so there you go you have one word to describe them,

  • the next time you want to post something about them. Next, this person is someone who can

  • adopt the situations really quickly. Maybe, you just put him in a desert, he or she will

  • just do fine. You take him, take him to a business class, he will do fine. You put that

  • person in great humid weather, that person will be fine. Now this person, that, this

  • is I'm just talking about situations, he or she’s someone who adopts to it very quickly,

  • who easily gets comfortable in such situations, what would you name him, what would you call

  • him? This person is a “versatileperson. We're talking about situations, we're talking

  • about anything he wants to do in life, he's basically has a great versatile personality.

  • Can you think of your friends or family members already to describe these people? TryWe

  • are moving on, we have one who pretends to be someone else. Well guys we have a lot of

  • people who claim that, hey you are copying my style or you're actually completely doing

  • exactly what I'm doing and pretending to be someone else, informal language, in informal

  • language we call this person, “a con man”. Okay so I'm going to write it, but that's

  • not the word we're looking at, yeah? This person can fool you very easily. Now obviously

  • it takes a great amount of efforts to actually be someone else, but this person is animpostor”,

  • okay? I hope you don't know people who are imposters, okay? Now so don't tag someone

  • with, hey you're an impostor because that's a little rude, but I thought you should know

  • since we have so many topics going on these days on social media who pretend to be someone

  • else, I wanted you to know that word to describe them, right? Moving on guys the one who can

  • handle pain and hardships. Now I know that the first one and the second one may sound

  • a little similar, but here this person is in general too strong to be defeated for anything,

  • that person will not break down. But this is someone who has been through hardships

  • and been through pains and can still handle it, has taken care of it, has not been defeated,

  • but can handle it at the same time, right? Has not always won, has been defeated and

  • has been able to sail through that difficult time period in his life, now that person is

  • stoic”, very short word, right? Stoic, let me make sure that you do not get confused,

  • right a little color over there. I'm sure you must have got this, someone who can handle

  • pain and hardships as a stoic personality, right? Maybe this could be your mother and

  • this could be your father, right? Yes, moving on, one who doubts everything in life, do

  • we have that friend of yours or that person may be in your office, who's like, oh no,

  • no-no, maybe we should not do thisSo you come up with this idea and you say, hey you

  • know what we should post this today on social media or Instagram and this person goes like,

  • oh no, no, no maybe we will get a lot of dislikes, oh maybe we will get a lot of hatesDo

  • you have that person in your life? Now that person is called, a “cynic”, who says,

  • he or she doubts everything. Do you think we should go to the beach this holiday? Oh

  • no, no, no I think it's gonna be really hot and people are going to steal our money. Well

  • that's doubting. If you have a person if you say, you know what I think she's a great girl,

  • you should be with her and this guy goes, oh no, what if she's not, oh no, what if she's

  • just being an impostor, that person is a cynic you guys. You can always say, come on now,

  • don't be a cynic just go on one date at least and you will get to know if she is an impostor

  • or not, right? Well go ahead and try to use it whenever you can. An unskilled, next up,

  • unskilled style of work. Now this is not always negative, okay? We, whenever we talk about

  • an experienced person or a professional person, this person has to learn at each stage, right?

  • Now someone who has not reached that stage, will obviously have a little unskilled style

  • of work, a little unpolished things, he leaves or she leaves things undone, right? Now that

  • person is known as or called as anamateur”, okay? It could be a dancer, it could be a

  • digital marketing person, his style of work is unfinished, unskilled and I think that's

  • completely fine because to reached, to reach that professional stage or experience stage,

  • you must go through the amateur phase as well, right? So that's completely fine. I just wanted

  • you to know, how you can describe the style of work or that person in one word. This person

  • can write easily with both hands. To be frank this used to be my dream when I was a child,

  • so I had this friend who could, you know who would start writing in the class with his

  • right hand and take his pencil in in his left hand and continue writing in equally easily

  • manner, and I never understood it, although I always wanted to be that person and that

  • person my friends is called, “ambidextrous”. Do you think this would be something really

  • interesting on your CV or resume, if at all you are just a graduate, I think it could

  • it could really be a funny thing to talk about in an interview, just to make the atmosphere

  • a little informal and a little more fun, so if someone asks you, what skills do you have?

  • You can definitely say, I am an ambidextrous. Isn't that fun? Well, the next one is equally

  • fun, I am sure, most of us have this person in our lives, that person who is active like

  • an owl at night, who's that person? That person isnocturnal”. I want you guys to tag

  • this friend of yours, I'm sure it's not one person, I'm sure they're gonna be ten thousand

  • or hundreds of them, who are going to be nocturnal. I too have such friends, you know who are

  • up all night or who can stay up all night, I am not that person, I sleep very early,

  • because I wake up early, right? I'm a morning person. Now, the next one is, one who has

  • a negative thinking, hold on before you think, isn't that similar to cynic? Well it's not

  • because this person just doubts everything, he just, just doubts, okay? And you can clear

  • that person's doubts. But now this person thinks negative about everything, oh no, I

  • don't think that's going to be, that going to be, that's going to be right, I don't believe

  • in this, I don't think what you're doing is right, I don't think what you're saying is

  • rightAlways the negative person, who comments negative, who dislikes everything, that thought

  • process and that person who thinks that way is, a “pessimist”, you guys, what is he

  • or she? A pessimist. I really hope you don't have a pessimist in your life, if you do,

  • make sure you tell that person that you need to change darling, you need to become an optimist,

  • right? It's the opposite of pessimist, who thinks positive and is hopeful in life but

  • we're not talking about that person we're talking about my favorite person which is

  • someone who is who has an unconventional style, who wares uncommon things or who does uncommon

  • things and really is able to stand out in the crowd. In fact this kind of, it's actually

  • a style of living and that's how it becomes a personality and a different personality

  • and that personality is called as, “bohemian”. Isn't that word itself so funky and so uncommon?

  • Do you know any such person? I'm sure, there are going to be so many people who might be

  • following a lot of bohemian people or people who live very differently. Maybe they have

  • nice, different types of colors that they wear or maybe their house is filled with plants

  • and yet very creative and just think, they think out of the box. I think every one of

  • us should have someone like this in our lives, because they really bring color to our life,

  • right? So that personality is a bohemian personality and these are your ten new hashtags to tag

  • your friends right away, so go aheadokay, before that please I hope you don't find any

  • imposter or conman because that's a little tricky you know. So go ahead, tag these people,
