Conversation is a fine art. It is the art of exchanging thought. It is an art which anybody can
cultivate or master. Not everybody can paint or play music, but almost everyone can talk. Thus,
it affords the greatest pleasure to the greatest number. "To talk”, says R.L. Sleversan, is our
chief business in the world. And talk is by far the most accessible of pleasures. It costs nothing in
money, it is all 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 in lies the secret of your
popularity. There is nothing that pleases people so much as your interest in their interest.
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 bore, avoid certain unpleasant topics. Avoid
talking about yourself unless you are asked to do so. Sickness or death bores everybody. The
only one who willingly listens to such talk is the doctor, but he gets sad for it. You must also
know not only what to say but also how to say it.
