Focus on what makes you happy People will always judge, no matter what we do, so let them. Here’s what Charmaine advised: (2:58) My advice would be, go there, hang out with your friends, do your own thing, 
 (3:06)Stop worrying about what people judge. 
 

Finding your worthMost people attach their worth along with the material things they possess. But this is not a good practice for your self-esteem.(3:34) - You don’t have to follow the crowd
 (3:54) In fact happier if not equally happy without the latest gadgets, I was like “ I could do this”(4:03)You know just go out there be yourself do your thing whether or not it’s against the norm we don’t need to follow the trends. You are who you are and if you express it go for it.  Charisma definedWhen it comes it being charismatic, Charmaine encourages us to highlight our best trait.(4:14) It is in a person, I would say, to me taking the best trait that you think you have and making it work to your advantageFor example, if you think your smile is your thing then smile as fun as you can. If you think your voice is your thing then use it and that transcends into confidence which to me equates to charisma. Charisma is very important 

A dynamic personalityWhatever you aspire to be these words of wisdom from Charmaine will help you in your journey.(5:12) Have a dynamic personality (5:19) people must want to listen to you, so you must give people something to listen to. I mean you have to make it interesting  

Key takeaways: 
Don’t mind people’s judgment.
It’s okay to be different.
You decide who you want to be not others.
Give people the value that they deserve.
Be vibrant.
