Groom your personality |
Have you noticed that sometimes you come across people you instantly like, while others you instinctively dislike? The person may be a new teacher, a fresh student in your class, or even someone you meet randomly at a social gathering.

Be compassionate and kind
Compassion always adds charm to our personality and kindness is like the icing on a cake. Giving company to an elderly neighbour or relative, reading out the newspaper to them or just talking to them about daily issues will make you a person they will look forward to meeting.
