Ever wanted to be cool? Of course you do, everyone does. But do you even know what cool is? Ever wonder what's the secret to being cool? We all have that itch to know that secret. We've always been cracking that code. We have always been trying to be cool. Here's a few heads up.
"The Key to Being Cool" by Kimberly Green shows pointers and ideas on how to be cool, which may be something you want to look into. I did look into it since I don't really know what's the secret of being cool, maybe you want to read it too as I did. Mainly, her article describes a "cool" person and how he/she becomes that person. It shows the right way of being cool and the way we look at coolness. She also narrowed down a distinct characteristic of a cool person making it easier to understand and do.
In her article she stated that, "It's an attitude not a persona." She also said that "you have to know you are cool", just to be cool. Being cool isn't a goal you need to achieve, because if you do think it is, you'll never be cool as I understood in reading her article. For all we know being cool is not a behavior as she said in her article "it's something you just know you are." It's a mind set, because if we start worrying for what people think, we won't achieve the legendary title of cool. You also have to be helpful, considerate and intelligent to be cool, "if you lack in any of these fundamental qualities, you'll find it hard to be truly cool outside of your social circle."
Basically what she is saying is we should care less on what people say and just do what we think is right. We don't need others opinion to pull us down, we don't need to please them, we just need to be ourselves. Also in order to be cool, we also have to be helpful, considerate, and intelligent, which I think makes sense. True coolness transcends to all sorts of social groups. To be cool you must not just be inside your own world, you must also take into consideration other people and interact with them with natural skills in communicating.
Kimberly also said that "Once you achieved all the requirements, you can accessorize your coolness with items..." that is because you are cool. This means anything you wear would undoubtedly be cool just because you are and not trendy. "Someone who is truly a cool person doesn't concern themselves with current trends." "Most of the people screaming to the next big trend will always be the same person who envy the cool people". She said that the slight outlawness makes them cool, I say it's badass.
After reading her article you would now have an idea on how to be cool. Like that famous slogan of nike "just do it" It is right, just do it, don't let opinions worry you. Being cool sets it's own rules. Being cool doesn't have characteristics, you are it's characteristics. If you still care what they think well chances are you aren't cut out for this, so don't be envious, think cool, and before you know it you will be cool.
