Realize your own good points. You have skills and talents(才能) that others will like.

Believe that you are a good person and have something nice to share with others.

Be humourous. Learn to laugh at yourself and your weakness. Remember to smile at others.

Respect the others. Everyone has his own idea. Learn how to listen to others’ ideas without trying to make them accept yours.

Don’t complain(抱怨). Learn to accept what you can’t change, and work hard to change what you can. No one is willing to hear your complaints all the time.
