The words you say matter a great deal. Saying negative and unkind things will make a pretty girl or a handsome guy look unattractive   Image Source: Kristina Flour@ Unsplash I remember greeting a friend, "How do you do", and he replied, "Do What?"  The words you say matter a great deal. People never have a good impression of those who are always complaining or saying negative things (even if some of what you say is true). Have you noticed that popular guys and girls have a positive attitude and usually have good things to say- whether it is about their friend, the colleague, neighbour, or the party they attended last week? Being critical and judgemental makes a person unattractive. WORDS that build rapport with another person include those that show concern, respect, and courtesy towards them, for example;  - Appropriate greetings (Good morning! How are you? Nice weekend! Have a lovely day!) - Words that show concern (How have you been? Do take care of yourself.

  In order to be popular, do you have to be the most outstanding leader, the most active person in your office or social and communities? I was asked by someone recently on the question of 'POPULARITY.' Do you know that there is a great demand for books that claim to reveal the secrets of popularity? This indicates how anxious people are to be accepted by their friends or fellow members of a group. You know by experience that people are more attracted to you if you first show you like them. You have learned also that people like to feel important and that, consequently, they like to have you respect them for their achievements. If you make use of these two principles in your relationships with people, you are already aware of two of the most important "secrets of success" that are mentioned in most books on how to achieve popularity.

Whether you are aware of it or not, your body movements clearly express your ATTITUDES and MOTIVES.  These simple body gestures, which most of us don't even notice, can COMMUNICATE key information that is invaluable in a variety of situations.  The Most Important thing in COMMUNICATION is hearing WHAT isn't said -Peter Drucker Whether in social, business, dating relationships, family meetings, gym, or at a grocery store people-watching always proves to be a fascinating experience. On many occasions, you probably found yourself wondering what the other person was thinking; the story behind a certain action, gesture, or facial expression.  When verbal and nonverbal messages conflict, it is often the case that the nonverbal gestures and expressions are more honest.  By a man's fingernails, by his jacket-sleeve, by his shoes, by his trouser's length, by his expression, bu his shirt-cuffs, by his movements, his smile- by each of these things a man is delivering a silen

  What has STYLE got to do with men? Why not, after all, men today are paying more attention to clothes, their grooming from their hair, skin, and nails. There are many well-dressed men today, though they may be still perplexed as to how much is sufficient when it comes to personal grooming due to the wide variety of brands and choices. Style is not a display of wealth, but an EXPRESSION of IMAGINATION -Anonymous Today, even in the midst of the pandemic with the majority of the company workforce still working from home (WFH), where business casual prevails, men's dressing and grooming continue to take a new twist. Ask a man who has the taste and dress with style and he will tell you that his fashion sense basically comes from his male icon either from movies or public figures. Or he may tell you that it basically comes from the sense of style from his dad, and the rest is an acquired skill that can be honed and improved with correct practice. Learning how to dress well is not

Changing your image and appearance can change your life. How does redefining your Personal Image do for your personal life and business? Image is power. It is not enough to be visible. To last is to succeed. Image has more value than reality. To last, the image must be built only on truths. Persona is the most effective weapon in your marketing war chest.    In reality, your Personal Image is more valuable than skills to any aspiring entrepreneur, salesperson, manager, or corporate officer.  Most failures are not due to a lack of talent, substance, or value. In our years of corporate background experiences, we have learned that many failing companies and without exception, they were quality offerings. They fail because they were invisible. In the world of marketing and branding, all ventures must present a targeted and focused persona to their prospective customers. Remember, it is far better to be a visible contender than an invisible champion. Is Image Everything? The culture o
