“Charm is a way of getting the answer yes without asking a clear question”

Albert Camus

Simplified Meaning:

When someone is charming, they have a special way of making others agree with them or go along with what they want without directly asking for it. This might be through their friendly smile, kind words, or how they make others feel good about themselves. For example, imagine a person at a party who compliments the host, talks about how awesome the party is, and subtly hints that they would love to attend more events like this. Even though they haven't asked the host to invite them to future parties, their charm makes the host want to include them again. In everyday life, using charm can help you get things done smoothly, like getting help from colleagues at work or making new friends, because people who feel good around you are more likely to support you without needing a direct request.
