You will be more confident and happier if you act like who you really are. Accept your personality and physical traits and all the things that make you who you are. It is better to form genuine friendships with people rather than try to become someone that you aren't. Be you and if someone doesn't like it than that is their fault. Put effort into your clothes, but don't change them to be someone you are not. Find a style that you like. Look online or in magazines for style inspiration. Go through your closet and decide what you want to keep and what you don't want. Don't worry about trying to find clothes that are expensive. You can find plenty of stylish clothing at inexpensive or even used clothing stores. What is most important is that you feel comfortable and confident in your clothes. Try your best to be confident and you will be more likeable and more likely to get noticed by popular kids.

Avoid being arrogant; otherwise, people may dislike you. Being social to everybody will make you stand out to popular kids. If you are very shy, start off small and work your way up. Start by befriending people in classes who are not popular. Go to a small event or club meeting at school to practice socializing with new people. Try not to be insecure when you talk to new people, just be yourself.   Use positive language when you talk to people. Join in on new social activities even if it is just for a couple minutes to help you gradually get more comfortable.

Article: Mix 1 to 2 teaspoons (4.9 to 9.9 mL) of mild liquid dish soap with 1 gallon (3.8 L) of warm water. Slowly pour the water into each ant nest in your yard. The heat along with the soap will kill the ants and prevent them from escaping their nests.  Pour the solution into a spray bottle for a more controlled method of dispersing the water. Pour the water into the nest in the early morning or late at night when most of the ants are inside. Boiling or hot water could damage nearby plants, so use caution when pouring around plants you want to keep. Use either diluted liquid boric acid or a powdered boric acid mixed with warm water. Use 3 tablespoons (44 ml) of boric acid with 1 cup (201 g) of sugar mixed with 3 cups (710 ml) of warm water to create a sweet mixture that attracts the ants. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and spray the nests along with any ant trails you notice in your yard or around your home. Within the next couple days, you’ll notice results.  Boric acid is toxic to humans and animals if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. Never use it in an area where you prepare food, and wear gloves and a face mask to protect yourself while using it. Rinse away any excess boric acid to clean it from the area. Use horticultural diatomaceous earth (DE) so it doesn’t kill your plants. Spread the DE around the ant nests as well as any trails you may notice in your yard. For preventative measures, sprinkle it around the perimeter of your house to keep ants outside.  Diatomaceous earth dries the liquids inside the ants and will kill them within a few days or weeks. Wear a dust mask so you don’t inhale the DE while you spread it. DE is safe to keep in your yard around children and pets. Mix equal parts of water and vinegar in a pot and drop 2 to 3 orange peels in. Bring the mixture to a boil on the stove before turning the heat off. Let the orange peels steep in the water overnight before transferring the mixture to a spray bottle. Shake the bottle to mix the solution and spray the nests with it.  This method drives ants away rather than killing them. Use a blender to combine the orange peel with the water and vinegar to make a thicker solution that may kill some ants on contact. Squeeze a bottle white school glue into the ant nests to clog the hole and fill the nest. The glue will kill many of the ants that get stuck inside, but it will push any of the surviving ants to a new nest. Ants tend to steer clear of talc products, especially ones like baby powder that have a powerful scent. Spread the baby powder around the nests and use a funnel to it directly inside. Use baby powder around the perimeter of your house to keep ants out. Use clove or citrus oils to kill ants and prevent more ants from coming inside. Use a soaked cotton ball to apply the oil around areas where ants could enter your home. Repeat the process every 3 days until you don’t notice ants anymore. Dilute 15 drops of the essential oil in 1⁄2 cup (120 ml) of water in a spray bottle and apply the solution directly on the ant nest for more direct contact.

Pour soapy water into the anthill for a safe solution. Spray boric acid onto the nests to kill them within a few days. Sprinkle diatomaceous earth around the anthill to dry out the infestation. Make a repellent spray with orange peels and vinegar to steer ants away. Pour glue directly into the anthill to plug up the opening. Sprinkle baby powder around the nests to keep ants away from an area. Rub essential oils on any points of entry to keep ants out.
Article: Try performing on a stage that is raised above the audience, or turning at a 45-degree angle in the opposite direction. Figure out which angle is most convincing given your particular skills and body type.  You can also control the angle by controlling where the audience sits. Try positioning them at different distances from the stage. You can also deliberately block the audience's view as is done in the Superman or King levitation, where you place a jacket in front of your feet while setting up the illusion. Mimic the expressions you would use when lifting a heavy object with your muscles. Have a look of concentration on your face. Use body language to further convince them that the levitation is both a mental and physical exertion on your part.  Widely known magician David Blaine even pretends to be sick after performing the levitation, further convincing the audience that he exerted tremendous energy during the trick. Pretending to be surprised or shocked that the levitation worked can also be convincing.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Work from different angles. Act as if the levitation is difficult and intense.
