Part Four
When I first went to Europe for a party as a student，I hoped people would think that I was having great thoughts and that someone might treat me as the only interesting-looking person to talk to in the room. But it never happened. Here is some advice if you would like to be a good conversationalist. Be an attentive listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves and ask questions that other people will enjoy answering. Encourage them to talk about themselves. Remember that the people you are talking to are more interested in themselves than a famine in Africa who kills a million people. A pain in one’s arm interested one more than earthquakes in America. A Greek philosopher had ever said:“The reason why we have two ears and only one mouth is so that we may listen more and talk less.”
