Looking "good" to others

"Face is very important," Pak Tedjo said to me prior to the opening of TTC in Jakarta.

It relates to pride, opinion, appreciation. It embraces emotional tie-ins to loneliness, popularity and the way we appear "in the eyes of others."

Looking "good" to others is important to us.

It makes people falsify inner facts by outer expressions and appearances. These may include name-dropping,exaggeration, showing off, imaginary adventures and living beyond one's means.

I found out that if you want to be better-liked by them, show them you ARE impressed by their words, actions or possessions.

It's as simple as that.
