5 Ways to be Charming
It’s easier than we think. Remember the 5 A’s:
Acceptance – The greatest gift we can give to other people is to accept them just as they are. Never criticize or find fault. Totally accept everything about them, as if they were a miracle of nature. That is the starting point of being charming.
Appreciation – Say “thank you” on every occasion, for any large or small reason. Make it a habit to thank everyone in the world for everything they do.
Approval – People who continually express approval are welcome everywhere they go. We all need approval like we need food and rest.
Admiration – Compliment a person on an article of clothing. Compliment someone on a trait,. Compliment for small things as well as large things. Always be looking for something to compliment.
Attention – Pay full attention to other people. It is the key to instant charm.

Quote of the Day
John Templeton (the Templeton mutual funds group) published a book called Riches for the Mind & Spirit, which contains his favorite quotations he has collected over a lifetime. This is one of my favorites:
“You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt, as young as your self confidence, as old as your fear, as young as your hope, as old as your despair. So long as your heart receives messages of beauty, cheer, courage, grandeur, and power from the earth, from man and from the infinite, so long are you young. When the wires are all down and all the central place of your heart is covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism, then you are grown old indeed.”
–Author Unknown
The book is available on Amazon:
