How can i be a popular or great person?

Answer 1

Great people are those who do good things over a long period of time. Be good to people and never stop growing within yourself and you will be great as long as you don't get carried away with your ego! Find something you love and do it as well, follow your heart. Don't seek popularity, it is a shallow and unrewarding thing to shoot for, for the most part. It's also can be a very false sense of appreciation. If you become great you may earn popularity, it will find you! Then it can be rewarding.

Answer 2

1. You need to be you. It is not worth being popular if you're not being yourself. You'll feel defeated in the end.
2. Evaluate the crowd you are trying to be popular with? Do you have to compromise your beliefs to be popular with them? Then it is not worth it. Seek out people that you can be popular with when being yourself and standing up for what you believe in.
3. Even the most popular people probably don't feel popular, at least not all the time. They put their pants on one leg at a time, they stink up the bathroom, and they do all that other stuff that you'd be embarrassed of. And they aren't any closer to heaven than you are.
4. Why do you want to be popular? The way I see it, you answer to one person - GOD. And you're already popular with Him. When you stop worrying so much about what people on earth think of you, and start worrying about what God thinks of you, things tend to fall into place. You feel more confident, because you know that you're doing what you need to do to be popular with God. Here's a poem I have in my office:
Anyway.
People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, they may cheat you.
Be forthright anyway.
What you spent years building, they may destroy overnight.
Build anyway.
The good you do today, they often will forget tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it will never be enough.
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them, Anyway.

Best wishes, Jana

Answer 3

STOP being yourself. Obviously, you're not popular, so whatever you're doing now is NOT working! Go observe the popular and great people, and ask yourself "Why am I such a knob?" "Why can't I be like them?"

Clearly, you lack social skills. Go read some books on the subject. Popularity is a game you play with people. You'll need social skills to increase your potential in just about any area of life. Don't be a knob....go do some studying.

Answer 4

If you try to be popular by just being the way others want you to be...you will be popular for a while, but think about it..if they want you to be a different person than you really are, then they are not really you´re friends to begin with. Just be yourself, and im sure everyone will admire you for just being your own person. :)

Answer 5

Be great. Popularity will follow.

Answer 6

Being yourself is the first thing you have to keep in mind, popularity may follow or not. It's better to be yourself than to be popular, really.

Answer 7

one doesn't necessarily equal the other, it is possible to be both. Make your goal to be a good person, popularity isn't important. Good people will be attracted to a good person.

Answer 8

be civil, be genuine, don't say things behind people's back, ask people how they are, show you care, share your feelings, give hugs, give kisses if appropriate, offer a shoulder to cry on if someone you know is feeling down, be generous, when stuff goes wrong try to find positives from it, be honest in arguments, be honest in general, when you feel sorry for something you've done- say it, learn stuff, learn to want to learn stuff, broaden your taste in music, broaden your interests, join clubs, dress the way you feel, try to be confident (if you are not naturally confident, give it a try, say "sod it" in your head and just do it!), don't always follow the crowd, say hi to people you vaguely know, dont ignore people, dont give evils, don't be false, give people second chances, dont get angry when someone jokes about you- just say something back about them which is even funnier, dont get drunk to impress your friends, listen to your parents- theyve been through it all already, but most of all smile!!!

everyone loves a smile :D

(p.s. dont do long sentences either)

Answer 9

the formula is listen to every one and do what you want and there are two ways people get popular either people ask for their autographs or finger prints its upto you what kind of popularity you want.

Answer 10

by being youself, you dont wanna follow the crowd just to be popular do what you like and feel comfortable doing it, and you'll stand out from the rest.
