10 Ways To Stand Out at The Next Party
10個方法讓你在聚會里脫穎而出
Since it is Memorial Day weekend and many of you will be spending time with family and friends, I thought you would enjoy a lesson that you can put into practice this weekend. For those of you who follow my daily lessons, some of these points will be timely reminders.
由于本周末是國家惦念日，很多人會和家人或朋友在一起，所以我想今天給大家上一堂課，讓大家在周末都用得上。對于每天都聽我的課的聽眾，今天的課程會是一個及時的提醒。
One of the themes I keep coming back to is how you can best stand out from the crowd. I just find that so few people make the extra effort to do so. In Stand Out From the Crowd I shared how people’s respect grows for those who return calls and emails in a timely manner and finish their responsibilities on time.
我反復提到的話題之一是如何在人群中脫穎而出。我發現很少人努力做到這樣。在《脫穎而出》里我跟大家分享過，及時回復電話和郵件以及按時完成任務會讓人們對你的尊敬感油然而生。
Another group of people who really stand out in my mind are those who are intentional about doing the “little things” when they attend dinners, BBQ’s or beach parties at our home. When my family makes sure to do these same things at other people’s homes, our efforts are noticed and appreciated.
給我留下格外好印象的另外一類人是那些在參加晚宴、燒烤或者在我家參加海灘聚會時那些注重細節的人們。而當我們家人去參加別人家舉辦的這些聚會時我們會注重這些細節，他們會注意到并感激我們的這些做法。
Here are 10 ways you can make a positive impression when you’re invited to someone’s home for a party.
當別人邀請你去參加聚會時，你有以下10種方法給對方留下一個積極的印象。
RSVP—When you receive an invitation to an event, make it a priority to respond to the invitation even if you cannot attend. When people send invitations they expect a response in a timely manner. Don’t let your name appear on the unconfirmed list and have your host continue to wonder why you don’t show the common courtesy of responding.
盡快回復。每當你收到邀請，如果你不能參加，你首先要做的就是回復對方。當人們發出邀請后，他們所期待的就是對方的及時回復。不要讓你的名字出現在待定名單上，這樣你會讓主人想為什么她連回復這種基本的禮貌都做不到。
Offer To Come Early—If you have ever hosted an event at your home, you know the amount of planning and preparation that goes into making it special for everyone. If the people hosting the event are close friends or family, then offer to come early to help with the set up. Even if they don’t accept your offer, they will appreciate you asking.
第二，提議提早去。如果你在家中舉辦過聚會，你就會知道要想籌備一場特殊的聚會會有多繁瑣。如果舉辦聚會的是你親近的朋友或家人，那么提議自己早點去，可以幫他們布置。及時他們否定了你的提議，他們還是會感激你的好意的。
