A cocky person would take the opportunity to perform an unscheduled Academy Award acceptance speech.A confident person would offer praise to everybody who contributed to their success.A cocky person would claim all the credit for themselves without a second thought.Cocky people might experience temporary perks, but longlasting success is a prize reserved for the confident.Be approachable, but not a pushover.You should wele your friends and coworkers with open arms.Its hard to find a person who will offer a listening ear in time of need, so fulfilling that need will help you bee a person people trust.But there can be too much of a good thing.If you find yourself with invitations youre not that interested in, dont be afraid to politely reject them.If your schedule bees occupied by people desiring your attention, set some ground rules and prioritize(优先考虑)To take care of others, you must first take care of yourself.Be direct in expression, but not nasty in delivery.Receiving honesty with no filter(过滤) is like finding a massive glass of ice water during a desert adventure.Speak words of truth, and people will be refreshed to hear them.Most people sugarcoat their opinions, so a willingness to tell it how you see it will win the appreciation of your friends and coworkers.But heres the catch: delivery is everything.There is a big difference between “Your article sucks” and “I like the general concept, but I think it might play better if you try it from a different angle.” Truth is something you should aim for, but it isnt a ticket to be nasty to people.To deliver honesty and helpful feedback, use this sentence structure: “I liked (insert positive quality), but I think it would be better if (constructive criticism/suggestion for improvement)” Be mindful of your actions, but not absorbed in yourself.Have you ever found yourself nervous while fielding questions in a job interview or talking to a cute person you have a crush on? So eager to make a positive first impression that you cant escape the constant stream of thoughts causing you to doubt if youre saying and doing the right things. As a consequence, you might find yourself so selfabsorbed that you cant focus on what the other person is saying.The less time you spend questioning yourself and the more time you spend actively listening to the other person, the better off you will be.Be assertive, but not overbearing.There is a thin line between being assertive and overbearing, so lets take a look at their definitions.assertive (adjective): having or showing a confident and forceful personallyoverbearing (adjective): unpleasantly or arrogantly domineering(专横的)An assertive person would confidently (and politely) ask friends or networking contacts for help if they needed it (and hopefully offer to return the favor)An overbearing person would force people to get what they wanted without a second thought about how their actions affected others.Being overbearing will make people avoid you because no one wants to help a pushy person.Being assertive will attract people to you, if you can reflect confidence and enthusiasm.Five Secrets of Socially Successful PeopleOutlineDetailsBrief introductionThe quality of your relationship 1._whether you can be socially successful.
