This shows them that you're serious about what you're talking about and that you are engaged in the conversation. Not only will it let them know that you are focused on them, but it will allow you to connect with them. By looking at their eyes, you can read their facial expressions and see how they are reacting to what you are saying, and you can adjust the conversation as necessary. Say what you need to say with a steady voice. Don't mumble or speak too quickly or slowly. Don't look to others for approval; simply express your beliefs and ideas from the heart. Try the "slow talk" technique. Slow down your speech by adding an extra second to your words. Articulate your words, pronouncing each syllable. When speaking to others, hold your head high and keep your legs and arms uncrossed. This body language commands respect and shows that you are open and confident. Avoid adding random jokes or unrelated bits of information to conversations. Should you have a good idea or thought, express it. Adding unnecessary or repetitive information will make folks less likely to listen to you. For instance, if a group is discussing global warming and you have recently watched a documentary about it, chime in with what you know. However, if you don't know about the topic, stay silent and listen instead. If you're arguing with someone, stay calm and speak in an even tone. Don't get all worked up because this will make you look like you can't think clearly. Take deep breaths in and out to steady yourself. If you feel that you are going to cry or yell, walk away for a moment to take a bathroom break. Actions speak louder than words, so you may have lost credibility with others because your actions have not been consistent. Accept responsibility for your behavior instead of blaming others, and seek more responsibility to demonstrate how serious you are. Take on more work without expectation of reward. This will show others that you are becoming more mature. Take action to show that you're serious. For example, if others don't see you as financially responsible, then create an excel spreadsheet and start keeping track of your finances. At work, ask your boss if you can help out with their new project and come to them with research or ideas on how to improve it. Try to find ways to do things better, more efficiently, or find problems that no one else has noticed. At home, take on more chores to help your family.

One-sentence summary -- Look people in the eye while talking to them. Speak clearly. Use proper body language. Speak only when you have something valuable to say. Stay calm. Take responsibility.

Q: If you want to really seriously prank someone: wait until the owner of the doorbell closes the door to go back inside. Then, sneak back up to the door and ring the bell again even more obnoxiously this time! Remember: each time you re-ring a doorbell, you run a greater risk of getting caught. Don't take it too far. If you ding dong ditch one house more than two or three times, then the owners will begin to get frustrated. They might wait by the door to catch you they might even call the police! Do not be malicious. At some point, you are just being cruel by endlessly tormenting the same person or family. Remember that you're disturbing everyone in the house, not just your friend. Once you're satisfied with your ding dong ditch on the first house, move to a different street and locate your next target. Pick another friend or another person you know. Bike, walk, or drive to the next location and repeat your procedure. Have fun, but don't be careless! If you let your guard down, then you might get caught. Play until you've had your fun. Remember: the longer you stay out playing ding dong ditch, the more likely you are to get caught especially if you are repeatedly hitting houses in the same neighborhood. On one hand, it's easier to get from house to house if you stay within a single neighborhood or a few blocks. However, if you hop around and hit several different neighborhoods, you and your friends will be harder to track down. Remember that this game is all in good fun. Ding dong ditch can bring you and your friends together, but it also impacts the lives of the people whose doorbells you ring. Do not use this game to harass or target anyone. Have a good time, but don't get too carried away. If you take it too far, then you might damage friendships, get in trouble, get the police called on you, or worse. Depending on who catches you, you might choose to play it cool or to own up and apologize. Read the situation and know when to give yourself up. If you're standing on someone's porch and they open the door before you can get away: just pretend that you are visiting them, or that you are coming to ask about something. Pretend that you are distributing fliers, or delivering a gift, or coming to borrow some sugar. If you get caught in the act by your friend, your friend's parents, or a neighbor: play it cool if you can get away with it, but know when to own up to the prank. This is when you should apologize and say, "We were just trying to play a dumb prank. I'm sorry. It won't happen again." If you get caught by the police, it's usually best to just be honest. You might be able to get away with a cover-up lie but the officers have probably seen this before, and there's a chance that they'll see through your story. If you are sincere and show that you've learned something from the experience, then they'll usually let you go with just a warning.
A: Ring the same doorbell again for effect. Choose more houses to prank. Don't take it too far. Make a plan for if you get caught.
