Smile And Success

Often certain characteristics of a person dominate the way we see someone. That is why individuals who have good looks are more likely to be liked and are easier to get along with.

Research shows that we automatically attribute "prime" characteristics such as kindness, honesty, intelligence etc. to people who have a physically attractive appearance. Scientists in the field of social sciences call this the Halo effect.

In one study, it was proven that people who dress attractively tend to be accepted in the hiring process of a company. Most interviewers said that physical appearance did not affect their choice. But the facts show otherwise, where people who dress attractively tend to engender a sense of liking and trust in their interviewers.

In communication science, we cannot not communicate. Even in silent conditions, you still communicate, because your silence will be interpreted as a meaning, and that is communication. Communication is not only in the form of verbal or gestures. Communication can take the form of symbols or semiotics.

Here your appearance is interpreted semiotic by the subconscious and is interpreted as a meaning. Only by looking at someone's appearance you can usually judge whether he is a successful person or not. People who wear ties are perceived as more "professional" than those who wear plain clothes. People who drive cars are perceived as wealthier than those who take public transportation.

Therefore you should not underestimate the way you dress. Because people who dress attractively are more often accepted and liked by others than those who dress carelessly. And don't forget to decorate your face with friendly eyes and a charming smile.

You can train it and make it as your face everyday. It will make you more likeable, and your opinion more acceptable, thus facilitating all aspects of your life, including your work and business.

What's with the smile?

A few weeks ago, a friend asked me what the relationship between smiling and hypnosis is. Smiling makes you more attractive, and tends to be well perceived by others. And people's liking for you tends to reduce the criticality of their minds when they accept your suggestions or opinions. Like hypnosis which is able to reduce the criticality of the mind towards all the information it receives, a smile also has this ability.

So be careful using your smile, because it can hypnotize people who see it. Of course, your smile must be supported by other things that make them receptive to your presence. Because many people are suspicious, when for no reason someone smiles at him, even though that person is unknown to him and he is on the street.
