Say please and thank you! This is the easiest, but most powerful strategy.
The world is moving at such a fast pace that we have forgotten how to be courteous and polite. If you are friendly, act with consideration and respect for others, and behave in a polite manner, you will always be remembered very positively. You will stand out in the crowd.
There are many ways to do it.
 Try to find reasons to write a handwritten thank you note. Writing a note when a teacher stays to help you after school will pleasantly surprise, if not shock, him or her because it’s so uncommon these days.
Smile at strangers you pass and people you know. When you flash a smile, other people will want to smile back.
Look people straight in the eye.
Practice remembering and using people’s names when you first meet them.
Acts like this will make you more memorable and will endear people to you.
