So you Want to Learn to be Cool

Lots of people who went thru school as one of the not cool people, spend much of their adult lives trying to become the cool kid they always wanted to be in school, and they go but and buy anything they can that may make people think they are cool, instead of taking a look at what makes some people cool and some people not cool.

Cars, a fast sports car is the most common thing people buy to make them selves more cool. Most people do not go out and investigate the car that has the least amount of reported problems or is the most fuel efficient car they want a car that looks, fast and intimidating.

Wardrobe: People also thing that the way they dress will make them seem cool to others, so they spend thousands of dollars every few months buying the latest fashions in hopes that others will think they are cool because they are on the cutting edge of fashion.

Music: People who are looking to improve their image in certain social groups will spend the time finding out what music is hip with those people and will adopt that music as their favorite music, in an attempt to make others think they are cool.

Online and Casino Gambling: gambling has become a very popular thing in recent years and with Poker shows popping up on all the TV channels, many people think it is cool to go to the casinos dressed up like famous poker players, including vests with patches from sponsors. As un-cool as dressing like a professional poker player may be playing casino games like Craps, Poker and Blackjack may be cool, games like Sic Bo, Keno and slot machines are not cool unless you hit a Multi Million Dollar jackpot.

Accessories: Thanks to Hip Hop many people think that if you want to be cool you must have lots of gold and silver, and when it comes to Bling, bigger equals cooler. But for the most part these people spend thousands on these pieces of jewelry that makes them look stupid.

The Gym: In the past 10 years the gym has become a new hip spot, and if you want to be cool you have to be seen at the gym, but that does not mean you have to work out. It is usually simple to notice the people that are at the gym to work out and those who are there just to try and be cool. The second group can be found in the lobby, at the juice bar, sitting in the back of an aerobics class watching the other people working out or in the hot tube.

Being cool is not about what you have or listen to. Being cool is all about who you are. In school being cool was all about being popular, but what most adults see as cool is more about who you are, and doing what you want to do and not what everyone else does. Those who are considered to be cool are usually leaders and not followers.

Being cool is not about what you like but about whom you are, if you just be you and do the things that you enjoy because you enjoy them then other people who enjoy those same things will tend to find you cool.

So the only advice I can give to you about being cool is just do what makes you happy and associate with like minded people.
