3 - CHANNEL COOL

          I bet you have a trend that you seem to have interest in, or maybe even have your own. Do you follow a specific trend? Are you trying  to fit in with others? How did that turn out? Did you got in their jargon? The way I see our social life today, it seems that it's following a specific rule, like there is a consequence if you get out the norms and break the rule.

          After reading previous articles, I then searched about the different types of trend people think are cool out of curiosity and research, and so I stumbled upon this article called "How to be "Cool"?" by Gabriel Angelo which mainly talks about different "specialized social skills" as he says it. This just means that it is about the different ways we people engage conversations with different kinds of culture or trend. This just means going inside different perspectives of "cool".

          "Cool people are experts in their own particular trend of coolness" as the writer puts it, and that "You have to be in sync with their particular vibe and know their culture." When you are trying to be cool he stated that you should "...become knowledgeable, and immerse yourself in that culture and trend." which apparently leads to a better understanding of ones culture.

          In that case, this is like saying to understand ones culture you have to get "in" their culture. This just like going to different countries, they have different cultures and beliefs they follow. To learn their culture and beliefs one must be with those people, he/she must interact and communicate to exchange ideas. There is no other way of knowing how it really is to be in that specific culture unless you go and get to know it all before hand.

          Knowing their culture does give leverage and makes it more easier for you to understand and follow their trend if you really do want to follow it. You may also find it easier to be "in your zone." This is like "looking before you leap" or in other words checking if you really are cut out to be in that zone. 

          Summing it all up, this post just tells you to be in your comfort zone. You make your own "lifestyle-game" as he puts it. With that, you could easily be yourself, not caring about what others think but just setting your own way of being cool. Cool is being "You" and not caring what they think, it is just doing  what you think is right and not really caring about others belief or trend on being cool. Being cool really has nothing  to do with following a trend as far as I have researched. Although, if you really do want to attract a certain type of people, I suggest you do immerse in their culture and understand what they really are into. I'm just saying that you should also have your own channel of cool to be cool.
