1. Conversation is indeed the most easily teachable of all arts. All you need to do in
order to become a good conversationalist is to find a subject that interests you and
your listeners. There are, for example, numberless hobbies to talk about. But the
important thing is that you must talk about other fellow's hobby rather than your
own. Therein lies the secret of your popularity. Talk to your friends about the
things that interest them, and you will get a reputation for good fellowship.
charming wit, and a brilliant mind. There is nothing that pleases people so much
as your interest in their interest.
2. It is just as important to know what subjects to avoid and what subjects to select
for good conversation. If you don't want to be set down as a wet blanket or a bore,
be careful to avoid certain unpleasant subjects. Avoid talking about yourself,
unless you are asked to do so. People are interested in their own problems not in
yours. Sickness or death bores everybody. The only one who willingly listens to
such talk is the doctor, but he gets paid for it.
3. To be a good conversationalist you must know not only what to say, but how also
to say it. Be mentally quick and witty. But don't hurt others with your wit. Finally try
to avold mannerism in your conversation. Don't bite your lips or click your tongue,
or roll your eyes or use your hands excessively as you speak
4. Don't be like that Frenchman who said, "How can I talk If you hold my hand?"
