What is CHARISMA? To be honest with you I had to check on the internet to be sure what is mean.
On Wikipedia, I find this definition: “ Charisma (/kəˈrɪzmə/) is compelling attractiveness or charm that can inspire devotion in others “
Now I intend to tell you a small story, about me and the team from my work. Like I told you before, I work in constructions and we just finished the day work. We were around 8 guys, waiting for the train in Tottenham Court Road station.
Waiting for the Central line to come to Liverpool Street station. We stay at the end of the platform. We already know in that place we have a better chance to get some free seats on the train.
Lucky us, the coach was almost empty and all of us we get the seats. In my ambition to exercise my English, I have a book with me in the backpack. All the time when I go or come back from work I read on the train. Now, my work team, they start to make some jokes about me. You know the type of jokes between friends. Some good some bad, we are not perfects, as long we have limits with the jokes it is ok.
In Holborn station, more people come inside the coach. Door closing and the train start to move. I was sitting right in the middle of the coach, and a lady just came inside and she was standing up in front of me. In the next moment, I just sow the lady taking off her shoes. You don’t need to be a genius to know this is a sign that she is tied and her legs hurting her.
I try to be polite and I offer her my seat. She thanked me with a beautiful smile. Honestly, I was feeling tied to after 10 hours of work in construction. I just find an opportune moment to “show off” to the guys from my work team. I look at the guys and I told them in Roumania language that some times it is nice to be a gentleman. Anyway, I was feeling proud of what I have I done in front of them.
In St. Poul station more people came inside the coach. I can’t say that was charisma or not but what’s happing in the nest moments was great. Fist person how came inside it was an old man with a stick. Next moment I saw the guy who sits on the first seat just offering his seat to him. O… that is nice, I told my self in my mind.
I start reading the book without seeing to good the person how came close to me. She was holding the bar next to me. How she was holding the bar I had the feeling for a second is something strange with this person. I lift up my eyes from the book and I try to look at her. In the next moment, I saw her chest badge with “baby on board”. It was easy now to understand that she was a pregnant woman.
Next second the guy from our team behind her, offer her the seat. In my soul, I start to smile. It is nice to be nice.
What is happing here? It is karma or charisma? What was happing in the last 5 minutes? It is hard to find an answer, but the feeling inside me was big and great.
It was the same feeling when I offer flowers for free on the streets. Offering flowers for free on the streets is the chance to change people’s day. You see the people smile. Some will say that this is charisma. I can not say that. Charisma for me sounds like a big word.
My actions offering flowers on the streets started like a hobby. After that, I decided to transform into a clothing brand. Shades of Romeo is the name of the brand.
I believe charisma is that good energy that you have a chance to send it to others. In that way, you make their day better. Even when you bring a smile on their faces with a small joke.
