This is a YouTube video titled "How to win friends and influence people..." containing a monologue or talk from May 24, 2024, discussing the importance of having valuable skills and leading with value in social interactions to gain influence and acceptance within social circles.
Some sort of skill set that can provide value to the common mind inside the social circle you want to you know infiltrate or join. That's probably the best way to actually, you know provide value is by being someone who's valuable. I guess cheesy and stupid as that sounds it just makes sense right? It's like you got to be someone who's valuable and how do you get valuable? You got to have a good skill set and you got to have knowledge and expertise around a certain subject whether it's dating or whether it's fitness. Naturally you'll be someone who's like classified as oh that's that guy and then now whenever they think of that thing they'll think of you. The second part in my opinion as well is you also have to lead with that value first and not come from a place of taking. So like I think if you want to get something from somebody first you have to give.
