How to be Cool:
Talk less, think more

Better yet, shut up and listen. Hardly anyone listens. You could be likable on that fact alone.

Cool people don't go on and on about crap nobody wants to hear about. They actually do some mental algebra to figure out the MOST important aspect of life. And if they are not letting the cream rise to the top, then they honestly think about "What smart thing can I say?", "What will elevate the mood of the room?", "How can I talk and not come across like an ass?" Most people are interested in their own benefit and not the betterment of the crowd... this is why most people are uncool.

Think before you talk.

If you wait until you're sure your ideas are sane and have greater community value, then people will, (over time) respect you and look to you for the daily dosage of insider knowledge. Most people just say any randomness that comes across their head and they expect it to be welcomed like banks offering free cash -no interest.

Power hitters, er, talkers are a rarity

There are slick people out and about the world who talk constantly. They also manage to be extraordinarily interesting about a lot of what they talk about. These people are a rarity. Safe move: don't assume you're super witty or fascinating, and therefore you aren't entitled to rant chronically. Don't be that fucker who talks a lot but doesn't say a damn thing.

Conclusion

If you talk less, saving your brilliance for "the right moment," and you can articulate laughter that makes people pee, you will be cool -there is no question about this.
