If you wanna be popular,
it's actually very easy.
If this is your first day of
school or you're starting a new job
and you wanna make a great first impression,
this is all you have to do.
You don't have to be gorgeous,
you don't have to be interesting.
And you don't even have to wear the coolest new clothes.
It's even easier than that.
If you wanna be popular,
the only thing you need to do is
like people.
That's it.
The more people you like,
the more people will like you.
Because humans are very simple.
We all, in the most basic sense,
want to be liked!
And if you like someone,
they're going to like you in return.
Of course, there will be some exceptions.
And I'm sure you've seen
lots of movies like Mean Girls,
where the stereotype is
popular people are really mean.
But that is actually not true
in real life.
Think of the most popular
person you know.
They like a lot of people,
and in turn,
a lot of people like them.
