Stay open to changing your perception of people as your connection with them grows.

Lets forget about the things you haven't done, and talk about what you have done.

Opening up a conversation can be opening up a world of new possibilities.

Understanding how our own perceptions are formed can give us some insight into how others form their perceptions of us.

Strengthening self-image is a process, and imagining the end goal is part of what helps get you there.

Fake it till you make it real.

If you minimize your accomplishments, that's what people will believe about you. If you emphasize your accomplishments, that is how you will be perceived.

When you give freely to others, not only do you increase your likability and aid other people, you almost always get something unintended in return.

When you are impatient with a relationship, your actions can be read as pushy or needy - not exactly likable qualities. Truly lasting friendships are rarely instantaneous. Give them time and room to grow.
