Larry King. How to talk to anyone, anytime, anywhere (№ 338142)

Worked out I the main rule of conversation is: I don't know when to say himself. No truth is more obvious: no matter what I said, it's nothing I will not teach. So if I want to know more, I have only one way - to listen.
People have the habit to listen to what they say. You tell your family or friends that your flight arrives at eight, but the conversation is not over, and they are already asking: "So when did you arrive?". And try to estimate how many times have you heard from someone: "I forgot what you told me."
If you do not listen to other people's words, don't expect special attention to your. Remember the signs that are posted at railroad crossings in rural areas: "Stop! Look! Listen!". Show someone that his words interest you. He'll tell you the same.
To be a good conversationalist must be a good listener. It is not confined to external demonstration of interest in talking to someone. If you listen carefully, then when your turn comes, you will be able to respond and to show off the talent of the interlocutor. Good clarifying questions - the value of the skill of the interviewer.
