   "You know what charm is; the way of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question"

  Albert Camus

 

 I have had many people tell me that I am very capable of doing just that. What are your thoughts on this quote and alos on what charm means to you?

It makes sense to me, and I think there are people who are very capable of doing it. Good quote. I like it.

i think charm encompasses a much broader spectrum then just getting somebody to agree with you. that concept smacks of salemenship.

That's a good quote.

Thank you all for the comments! Paidra I am prone to partially agree with you but I would also have to say, don't you think that good salesmanship is a big part of using your charm and throwing in just a dash of BS?

As long as you use your powers for good and not evil...go for it!

Glen, I like the brain flash and they are words to live by if you are going to use more than "just a dash" ;-)

Vana, as i always tell terry, I use my powers for truth, justice and the American way. Or at least what used to be the American way. Sometimes i am not so sure anymore!
Bob C. Feb 19, 2008, 9:00pm EST

Nancy, I'll bet there are times when you know ehen to pour on that charm! :-)

Kids are really good at it

To be charming is to hold another's fascination.
Bob C. Feb 19, 2008, 9:39pm EST
Suey, yes they are and in all way of manipulating the system!
Charli, that is a very good way to put it!
Lyn Owen Feb 19, 2008, 10:08pm EST
Yup

To charm is to render the other person defenseless.
Kathryn W. Feb 19, 2008, 10:24pm EST
yea, that's what i feel about charism. people who are charasmatic don't exactly ask of you, but yet they ellicet and get the results they want by how they act.

working in a nursing home, i have the opportunity to meet many people. a lot of the older ladies are loaded with charm but want nothing from me other than a little conversation.

Great quote
Emma L. Feb 20, 2008, 4:02am EST
Wonderful quote- charm will get you far in life :)

I think this is true. Sometimes it is hard to say no just because of the way someone has approached you.
