#23, Ignore this list.
Don’t follow. Write your own list. That’s what makes you interesting.

#22, Fallow.
In order to be fertile with ideas, sometimes you have to rest. To take a break. Farmers know this. They know you have to rest a field. To put back, so it can give again. You are not a machine. Creativity comes in sprints. After a rest.

#21, Take on a quest.
Have something that really, really bugs you. That you can’t rest until it gets changed. People with that hunger to make a change happen are amazing to be around. That energy is contagious. And people gravitate toward it.

#20, Zag.
If you are doing the same thing as everyone else, you are not going to be doing interesting. Don’t go with the crowd. If that means you are alone for a while, be comfortable with that.

#19, Say yes when you would say no.
In order to keeps things interesting, saying yes to something you would normally say no to. It opens up new connections. Connections that you wouldn’t normally have made. And, sometimes, they are the best.

#18, Everything can be interesting.
If you adopt an approach that all things are interesting, you will begin to find all things interesting. You get better at running by running. Interesting is the same. You can get better at it.

#17, Learn a new skill each year.
Learn a new language. Learn a new skill. Learn how to cook, to bake bread, learn how to code. Set yourself a new goal each year. Challenge yourself. New skills give you something new to talk about.

#16, Interesting and happiness are good mates.
Happiness fuels success, not the other way around. When we are positive, our brains become more engaged, creative, motivated, energetic, resilient, and productive at work.

#15, Become an intellectual tourist.
“Limited references create a limited life. If you want to expand your life, you must expand your references by pursuing ideas that wouldn’t be a part of your life if you didn’t consciously seek them out.�� The Giant Within.

#14, How you say something can matter more than what you say.
Some people can make really interesting things sound rather dull. Some people can make something dull sound rather interesting. Delivery matters.

# 13, Take cold showers.
Have one thing that people talk about. Run without trainers. Make a rule when you see a river, you have to go for a swim in it. Do something for people to see you differently. Surprise others. But, as importantly, surprise yourself.

#12, Know how to ask a question.
Being good at small talk will make you more interesting. One way is being able to ask others questions so you can bring out their interesting. Once you have discovered their interesting, they will think you are.

#11, Treat failure as a rite of passage toward interesting.
How you view failure will determine the success you have. If you fear it, you will hold back, you will not be brave with your ideas. Ideas require you to be at your bravest in order to stand out.

#10, Turn left instead of right in the bookstore.
We find things we are interested in, stick to our groove. We see the same type of films, listen to the same music and read the same books. So next time your in the bookstore, go to the section you never go to.

#9, Embrace your weirdness.
The odd things about you make you interesting. Don’t hide them away. Don’t try to blend in. Our imperfections and our quirks make us who we are. Bring them to the surface. Hide them in the spotlight. Be you, warts and all.

#8, Listen.
The best way to be interesting is to be interested. Stop being on transmit, and flip the switch to being on receive. Listen hard, listen without thinking about what you are about to say. Good listeners are sought after.

#7, Alcohol doesn’t make you more interesting.
At the time, you think it does. Yes, you can ‘Write drunk and edit sober’. But mostly you will be editing a pile of garbled mess. It’s your thinking that makes you interesting, not your drinking.

#6, Learn from Velcro.
Velcro: On one side is a series of hooks going in one direction. On the other side is a series of loops going in another. When a hook meets a loop, they connect. It is in the connection business. If you are an ideas person, so are you.

#5, Step outside your world.
If you code, don’t go to a conference on coding. If you design, don’t go to a design conference. If you run startups, don’t go to a startup conference. Be eclectic. Open up the mind. Don’t close it down.
