TOPIC: Five Tips to Increase Your Likeability
I just finished reading an article written by Justin Hartfield of The Prometheus Institute. It helped re-enforce values I already knew to be true. The title is self-explanatory, so I'll list the highlights here.

1. Be positive.
2. Control your insecurities.
3. Provide value.
4. Eliminate all judgments.
5. Become a person of conviction.

I highly disagree with number four, though. It contradicts numbers three and five. If you provide value by having moral values and become a person of conviction, then you must judge some things -- and even some people (or at least their words & deeds).
