6. Make an effort to learn names
![Name List, Hand, Finger]()
The next time you meet someone new, make a conscious effort to learn and remember their name for the next interaction you have with them. Try to show this by using their name during the conversation. Not only will this boost your memory, it will make them feel valued.
7. Ask favours
![Debt Relief, Gesture]()
If you want someone to trust you, then ask them to do a favour for you. Although it may seem backwards, as it shows that you trust them more than anything, this is exactly what you want them to see. It shows that you respect them, which in itself, promotes respect.
8. Keep on smiling

If you’re ever feeling down in the dumps, make yourself smile. This isn’t just simple “faking it til you make it”. If you force yourself to smile even when you really don’t want to, it can rally the people around you and create a positive environment for you to thrive in.
9. Dress like a zookeeper

We’re not talking about all the time. When you next pay a visit to your favourite zoo, try to dress in the same colours of the uniforms of the employees. This means that the animals will be more likely to approach you – they’ll think you’re going to feed them!
10. Buy from the lower shelves

When you’re next doing your grocery shopping, don’t buy the things that are in your natural sight. It’s been proven that many grocery stores will place their more expensive items on higher shelves, as they know you’re more likely to reach for them. Look for the deals on the lower shelves.
