I read a really interesting article the other day on how 'How to be more interesting' it was so interesting that I have to share some tips with you as I know that we all want to shine in some way :-)
My 6 top tips are:
1) Make things with your hands: Maybe bake a cake, learn to sow or knit, make jewellery,
start painting. People who can do something with their hands always appear more interesting as its a very creative skill to be able to make things.
2) Be more secretive: Create some mystery in your life at times, it's ok to tell people some stuff about your life but it is also good to hold back and keep people guessing.
3) Create an online blog: You may be thinking that this contradicts with point (2) not really as it's good to share some of your interesting experiences in life in a balanced way. Stay in touch with friends and family by setting up a blog account. Share pictures, write articles or blogs. People who write online always come across as interesting especially when they have something good to say. Maybe you could even write about something different i.e. write about films you watch, places that you visit, or books you read...whatever interests you get writing this will make you more interesting.
4) Learn to say hello and goodbye in several languages: Languages can be so much fun. I love Italian...[hello = Pronto, Ciao, Salto], [Good bye = Arrivederci, Saluto]. Maybe you could even go one step further and learn a new language i.e. Spanish, French, German and master the language. All of a sudden everyone will begin to think you are cooler than you were before (lol) and you will be able to put this on your CV which will make your CV stand out from the crowd and it will be so much fun for you to speak with people who speak the same language.
5) Interview one really fascinating person per week: Make it a habit to have a chat with someone who you find really interesting at least one person per week and find out what makes them special, discover there interests and talents and by learning this will inspire you to become more interesting.
6) Go somewhere completey different: Visit places like museums, art galleries, a cathedral,
a field, go to the docklands or a lake, capture a beautiful view and it will make you more interesting as you will be doing something different from your usual routine.
Home work: write down three things that you will do to become more interesting i.e. learn an instrument, visit a museum and start an onlnine blog
Good luck!! Go for it :-) xxx
