Summarize the following:
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.

summary: Listen first. Respond with questions. Select your words carefully. Be playful. Speak slower.

Summarize the following:
Locate a place on the gutters where a nail holds them to the house. It is best to place the ladder here because the gutter is supported best at the nails. If you place the ladder farther from a nail, the gutter is weaker and may crash. If you can lean the ladder against the house's main structure rather than the gutters, do this to entirely avoid leaning on the gutters. If you're putting your ladder up in a soft or landscaped area, put a piece of plywood underneath the feet. This will help keep the legs stable and minimize the risk of falls. Always wear work gloves for this process. Use a small garden trowel to scoop out as much of the debris as possible. If you don't have a small trowel, find an empty plastic bottle with a sturdy handle. Cut the bottom and part of the side out to form a scoop. Set up a large garbage can or a tarp on the ground for a place to dump the leaves as you clean. Throw the leaves on the compost pile if you have one, or discard them in the garbage. Be careful using a trowel over joints or downspouts, and too much force could cause damage to these connections. Lean to your right and left, scooping as much as you can without moving the ladder. Be careful not to lean so far that you get off balance. Ladder safety is always important. Since you can probably only reach a few feet to either side of the ladder, you'll need to move it multiple times until you have removed all of the buildup from inside the gutters. This is the most time-consuming part of the cleaning process. Carry the nozzle of the hose with you up the ladder to the gutters. Use a sprayer attachment, if you have one, to increase the water pressure. Spray the gutters toward each of the downspouts to rinse remaining debris out of the gutters. It may take a while to wash all of the gunk out of the gutters, but it will be worth it to make sure future rain can flow freely through them. While the water is running, check each downspout to see if the rinse water is washing down through them. If there seems to be a blockage, use a stick, such as a broom handle, to push the blockage from the top to the bottom of the downspout. Leave the water running while you push to help move the blockage along. You may need a longer stick, depending on where along the downspout the blockage is.
summary: Lean the ladder against the gutters near a nail. Scoop out leaves and debris that are stuck in the gutters. Move the ladder to the next section and continue cleaning. Flush the gutters with a garden hose. Check the water flow through the downspouts.
