Article: Encourage others to talk about themselves. Shine the spotlight on them. Give them your full attention and appreciation by focusing only on them. When we let people talk about themselves, it triggers pleasure responses in their brain. Put your stuff away. Don't check your phone. Don't glance at your monitor. Don't focus on anything else, even for a moment. Ask them about positive things in their life. When they reply, ask them how they are feeling about life in general. Since you've already gotten a positive answer to the first question, you are more likely to get a positive answer to the second one, leading to a positive overall experience with you. Become memorable and attractive through the way you let them express themselves to you. The words you use can have a huge impact on how you come across to others. Avoid being negative as much as possible. Prioritize positive words over negative ones. We all associate happy, enthusiastic, and fulfilled people with attractiveness. Say things like: "I believe in you." These four short words can have a huge impact on how people feel both about themselves and about you. "How can I help?" Offering assistance doesn't mean you have to go out of your way to help some, but often we cannot accomplish things alone. Saying this will show someone you are an ally. "Here's what's happening." No one wants to be left out. If you make an effort to include everyone, they will associate a positive connection with you. Share the information you have to become more likable. You can also use this phrase to demonstrate decisiveness in a positive way. "I'll find out." "You're welcome." Somewhere down the road we stopped saying, "You're welcome" and started saying "yep," and "no problem." Saying the former establishes that you have done a worthwhile favor, whereas the latter shows that what you have done was insignificant. Use the former to show a person how much you care. Laugh easily. Playfulness, as a personality trait can bring a bunch of positivity to your life and the lives of others. Not only can playfulness help reduce stress levels, but it will also help you appear more confident and comfortable. Take care to tease lightly and play close attention to the other people around you. No matter what your intentions, playfulness isn't attractive if you end up hurting someone's feelings. There is a time and place for playfulness. If you are in a professional environment, where playfulness is generally not encouraged, save it for when you leave work. However, you can still exercise kindness and warmth. Slowing down your speech can actually make you more interesting to others. This gives them a chance to digest what you are saying. Speaking slower also demonstrates confidences and a relaxed state, while speaking quickly might make you look overly excited, eager, or nervous. Especially if you are nervous, practice speaking slow. This will help you remain calm, and maintain control. You are also less likely to stumble over your words if you speak slowly.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Listen first. Respond with questions. Select your words carefully. Be playful. Speak slower.
Article: Turn on your DS and click on your Nintendogs game above (or if you set your DS to auto mode, skip this step). If the game loads before you press the buttons, this will not work. The buttons must all be held down simultaneously to reset the game. Try using the sides of your fingers if you're having trouble holding them all down at the same time. Remember that once you delete the game, you will lose your dogs, trainer points, and money. Once the file has been deleted, there is no way to get these things back. Make sure you really want to lose all your progress. Click "Yes" and your game will be deleted. You can now begin a brand new game, as though you just took it out of the box. If you change your mind, just click "No" and you can continue your game.

Put your Nintendogs game into your DS. Hold down the buttons L, R, A, B, Y, X when the white Nintendo screen appears. Select "Yes" when it asks if you want to delete your current Nintendogs game.
Article: If you want to greet someone in Hebrew, "shalom" (shah-lohm) is the main word to use. It's appropriate as a greeting regardless of the context, the age of the person you're greeting, or how well you know them. On the Sabbath (Saturday) you can also say "Shabbat Shalom" (shah-baht shah-lohm), which literally means "Sabbath peace" or "peaceful Sabbath." This greeting is commonly used in Israel. Like "shalom" by itself, it's appropriate in any situation when greeting anyone. This greeting is related to the Arabic greeting "salaam alaikum" and both greetings mean literally the same thing: "peace upon you." There's a lot of overlap between Arabic and Hebrew because the two languages belong to the same language family. "Ahlan" is borrowed from Arabic. Hebrew speakers use it in the same way Arabic speakers do, as a simple "hi." While it's far more casual than "shalom," you can still use it to greet anyone, young or old, in casual contexts. In a more formal situation, or when speaking to someone in a position of authority, this may be too casual a greeting.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Say "shalom" in any situation. Switch up your greeting by saying "shalom aleikhem" (shah-lohm ah-ley-khem). Use "ahlan" (ah-hah-lahn) to say "hi" more casually.
