PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE YOU?Written by OSORO P. J. NYAWANGAH
(Cultural technique to influence people)-To get people like you is a matter of character! Follow me and get changed - NEVER miss an opportunity to say a word of congratulations upon anyone’s achievement or express sympathy for sorrow and disappointment. This is one of few simple techniques, which you can use to attain popularity. In real sense, we all might admit that as people, we want others to like us. Though we might have heard some one say, “ I don’t care whether people like me or not, I don’t care whether people like me or not, I don’t care what they say about me1” But whenever you hear anyone say this and like, rest assured that person is not telling truth. Remember that your task in life is not necessarily to get everyone to like you. But as a human being, you are definitely going to meet different people of different walk of life through out your life in this world. You cannot live without them and their help. Thus it makes sense to know how to talk to other easily. Anyway, however popular you may be, you will never get everybody to like you, and People always feel that you are a bit like them if you have things in common they will be free and happy talking and appreciating your company. Here are other points: *REMEMBER NAMES: Addressing or greeting a person by his/her name is very important to person. So inefficiency at remembering other people’s names may indicate that you are not interested in them and their affairs; so learn to remember names. *HONESTY COUNT: when you are not cheating other, you are straightforward and full honest; people will trust and appreciate you. This is a sign high respect to them also. If you don’t have something or don’t know something be honest of it. Be able to abide with challenge. *COMFORT ABILITY: A flexible and comfortable person is natural and easy-going. He/she has always kind, pleasant and sympathetic way about him or her. And these characters cannot be found in stern, stiff and reserved person who will never mix groups. People never know how to treat such person and his or her reaction.

Annihilation. Mass Suicide. I wanted to add these words: nationalism, freedom fighter. But I find that words don’t really fit in definition of terrorism. I find other words: Hollywood, Cinema, Acting, and Dreaming. And I am surprised that these words are synonymous with terrorism. How? Suppose you were some precocious artist in Hollywood who dreamt up a last day film involving knocking down of World Trade Center, Pentagon and perhaps White House before September 11, 2000. Let me tell you what will happen to you. First, you will be taken to a psychiatric Hospital for brain check. Then if you were found to be of sound mind, you would be taken by FBI for questioning to determine source of your Satanic inspiration. And as you would be unable to prove it, you will be taken to a penitentiary in Guantanamo near Cuba -- far away from United States, so as not to influence good guys. Of course your terrific film would be censured. But now that your dream is real -- Twin Towers collapsed in broad daylight taking away thousands (no thanks to terrorists), you will be most sought after person on earth to dream up sequel. So saying goes in some quarters that these evil boys will someday destroy world. Whether you call them nationalists, freedom fighters, terrorists or basest creatures on earth, does not matter. You may go to School of Semantics. Terrorists have a lot of factors in their favor. One. They have huge sums of money. Two. They have scientific know-how to take care of their deadly weapons. Three. They have a very large network spread across globe. Four. Modern technology have made communication and access to information easy for their members. Five. They are inconspicuous -- very hard to find. Your friend, neighbor, or that your prodigal son, may be a terrorist. Six. They believe that they are fighting a just cause, and are prepared to die. Seven. They are prepared to use deadliest weapons on earth to advance their cause. Eight. They are constantly changing tactics.
