in the world. And talk is by far the most accessible of all pleasures.It costs nothing in money it is at
profit.it completes our education, makes friends and can be enjoyed at any age.
Conversation is indeed the most teachable of all the arts. All you need to do is to find a subject
that interests you and your listeners.Hobbies are for example,numberless hobbies to talk about. But the
important thing is that you must talk about the other fellow's hobby rather than your own. There lies the
secret of your popularity. There is nothing that pleases people so much as your interest in their interest
It is just 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 borer,avoid unpleasant topics.Avoid talking about
yourself unless you are asked to do so Sickness or death bores every body. The only one who willingly
listens to such talk is the doctor,but he gets sad for that. You must also know not only what to say but
