Keys to becoming irresistible.




How often we come across a personality soft and appealing that we had long desired to hang around with. What is that quality which one asks for in his/her life partner? What is that quality that every employer always looks out in the candidate during job interviews? The character traits hold above all.

When pressed with queries about these traits people would always stumble upon something common but likely to be not correct: honesty, humor, confidence, charisma, etc.. These may be the correct answer but not enough to sell oneself as a product. If you were to run a principal component analysis gathering these traits and finally listing the traits on priority then you would be surprised that your top three listings would cover your most of the traits. These three traits, when found together, will create an ultimate attractive personality who is in command, in control of destiny, one who is both altruistic and intelligent. 

1. Humility 

Humility is an outward expression of an appropriate inner, or self-regard. It is a modest opinion or estimate of one's own importance and rank. This trait is the root of all growth, learning, and kindness. People who exhibit humility often let their work speak for itself. 

2. Curiosity

Without curiosity, one cannot be enthralling and engaging. This drives an insatiable lust for knowledge, culture, experience, beauty, art, and connections. This universe is too large and ones time span is too short to ever remain fully satisfied in the pursuit of pioneering and experimenting. Frequently people always want to be surrounded by curious eyes routinely examining the world through renewed vision using it find fresh conclusions about the world.

3.  Empathy

Empathy brings people closer and makes one comprehensible by others. Empathy breeds connection, compassion, and love. It is the ability to see the world through other eyes and cut the heart of their feelings and experiences. An empathetic  In simple words it is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. Empathy lays the foundation for honesty. Honestly sharing someone else's experience, pain, and joy. 

These three virtues are closely connected. Humility is how you value yourself, curiosity is how you value others and empathy is how you connect yourself to others. Remember these three traits are important to becoming warm, intelligent and memorable. So next you are looking for a person to hire, date or hang around then look for these traits above any other virtues.

My First Job at Hindustan Zinc Limited: The Day I Fought a Battle That Wasn’t in the Job Description

Hindustan Zinc Limited, 2004 There are first jobs — and then there was HZL. Hindustan Zinc Limited was a giant in mining and metals: structured, hierarchical, and system-driven. And there I was — a freshly minted IIT graduate, quietly waiting for my University of Waterloo call letter, treating HZL as nothing more than a temporary stopgap. It didn’t take long to sense the mismatch. Instinctively, I knew this wasn’t an environment where I would stay long. But life, as it often does, had other plans. The Unexpected Reunion On the very first day of induction, I noticed a familiar name on the HR list: Surbhi Shrivastava. The same Surbhi from my school days — admired, visible, graceful, socially confident. Back then, we had never really spoken. I was the quiet topper, known more through exaggerated stories told by teachers and backbenchers than through actual presence. So when I introduced myself that day, her response was simple: Professional courtesy. Polite indifference. No recognition. ...

The Year Friends Changed My Life

There was a time at Don Bosco's, Patna when I was completely bored with my classmates. They were decent people, but not adventurous enough for the restless energy I carried inside. Somewhere deep within, I felt there had to be more interesting people in the world — people who questioned things, laughed loudly, and carried a little rebellion in their spirit. By Class 7, I had almost given up on school and, in some strange way, on life itself. To make matters worse, I fractured my hand that year. What should have been a temporary inconvenience became a convenient excuse. I stopped going to school regularly, hiding behind the bandage and my boredom. Still, one thing about me was constant — somehow I would pass my exams even if the world was about to end. So Class 7 passed by quietly. Then came Class 8, and something unusual happened. That year the school failed almost 20% of the students in each class. At the time it felt harsh, but looking back, it felt as if the universe had qui...

Under the Tree: The Story of Munna and a Friendship That Refuses to Fade

 Some friendships begin in classrooms, some in playgrounds, and some over shared interests. Ours began under a tree. My first school had no building, no corridors, and no polished floors. It was simply a primary school under a large tree , meant for children from poor families like mine. In those days I was growing up in what felt like the poorest corner of the poorest state of a poor country. Life was simple, and resources were scarce. School, for me, was not exciting. I disliked the discipline — the idea of sitting in one place, listening, repeating lessons. Even a school under a tree felt restrictive to a restless child. I would have happily wandered in fields or played by the river instead. But that was where I met Munna . Munna was one year older than me. In that early chaos of childhood, he became the first person outside my family who mattered deeply. At that age we didn’t know words like friendship , loyalty , or bond . But somehow we already understood them. Soon Mun...
