INSPIRATIONAL PEOPLE

***FIVE WAYS TO BE INSPIRATIONAL***

The presidential candidates have been trying to inspire voters and win support for the past two years. But you don't have to be a presidential candidate to inspire people. Here are five ways for YOU to become more inspirational in your everyday life . . .

#1.) BE POSITIVE. Negative ads might scare people into voting for one candidate or the other, but being positive is what ACTUALLY inspires people. You might be bored at your job, but remaining happy and productive can inspire others to be the same way. And remember what Nazzy always says at the end of every show, "Think Positive & Positive Will Happen!"

#2.) HAVE A POINT OF VIEW. People are inspired by those who understand the world around them. Having an opinion is one thing, but if you can explain why your point of view is important, people will want to know more.

#3.) KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. Don't speak with authority if you can't back up what you say. People aren't inspired if they find out you're a fake. And being able to admit when you don't know about something can be inspirational in itself.

#4.) LISTEN TO OTHERS. The candidates do a lot of talking. But LISTENING is more inspirational on a one-on-one level. Learn to paraphrase what people say to you and repeat it back to them so they know that you're listening. --You'll also achieve a deeper understanding of other people's points of view.

#5.) RISE ABOVE. Leave the petty personal attacks and gossip to others. If you're perceived as being BETTER than someone who engages in these behaviors, people are more likely to view you in a positive light. (AskMen.com)
