Have a Better Conversation – Handout
1. Don’t multitask. More than just setting your device aside – be present. Be in that moment. Don’t be thinking about another part of your day; if you don’t want to have a conversation, don’t! Don’t be half in, half out.


2. Don’t pontificate. “If you want to state your opinion without any opportunity for response or argument or pushback or growth, write a blog.” Enter each conversation assuming that you can learn something new. As Bill Nye says, “Everyone you will ever meet knows something that you don’t.”


3. Use open-ended questions. Try on the shoes of a journalist, don’t go for easy yes/no responses. Have them describe what they are feeling, thinking, or expressing. Don’t do it for them. Liven up the conversation with open-ended questions and you’re guaranteed a more interesting response.


4. Go with the flow. Let thoughts come and go. Follow the conversation, not what you thought the conversation would be like. Don’t hold on to questions just because they’re really good questions. Listen, react, and keep moving with the conversation.


5. If you don’t know, say that you don’t know. Don’t make your talk cheap, err on the side of caution and always speak like you’re on record.


6. Don’t equate your experience with theirs. Your experiences are never the same, no matter what the situation. Everyone is unique in their situations and how they feel and most importantly it’s not about you.


7. Try not to repeat yourself. Repeating yourself sounds condescending and creates boring conversations. And we do it, a lot. When you want to make a point it becomes a habit. Stop it.


8. Stay out of the weeds. People don’t care about the little details – the years, names, dates, etc. Leave them out. Focus on you, what you like and what you have in common with the person you are speaking to.


9. Listen. This is the most important one. So many important, successful people have said it over and over again:
Buddha, “If your mouth is open, you’re not learning.”
Calvin Coolidge, “No man ever listened his way out of a job.”
Steven Covey, “Most of us don’t listen with the intent to understand. We listen with the intent to reply.”
So, listen. Yes, we all would rather talk. It gives us control, it gives us the center of attention, it gives us the ability to bolster our own identity. We also get distracted very easily when we can listen at about 500 words per minute and the average person speaks at 225. Listening takes effort and energy and is completely crucial for a great conversation. If you can’t then you’re simply just two people shouting out barely related sentences in the same place.


10. Be brief. As my sister has said, “A good conversation is like a miniskirt; short enough to retain interest, but long enough to cover the subject.”

All in all: Be interested in other people and prepare to be amazed.

Calvin Coolidge, “No man ever listened his way out of a job.”


Steven Covey, “Most of us don’t listen with the intent to understand. We listen with the intent to reply.”


Winston Churchill: "A good speech should be like a woman's skirt; long enough to cover the subject and short enough to create interest."

kill us.

I is illness and We means

Poem suggested by B M

The World
Is Too Much With Us BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

The world is too much with
us; late and soon,

Getting and spending, we
lay waste our powers;—

Little we see in Nature
that is ours;

We have given our hearts
away, a sordid boon!

This Sea that bares her
bosom to the moon;

The winds that will be
howling at all hours,

And are up-gathered now
like sleeping flowers;

For this, for everything,
we are out of tune;

It moves us not. Great
God! I’d rather be

A Pagan suckled in a creed
outworn;

So might I, standing on
this pleasant lea,

Have glimpses that would
make me less forlorn;

Have sight of Proteus
rising from the sea;

Or hear old Triton blow
his wreathèd horn.

Yadha Yadha Hi Dharmasya
– Naan Sigappu Manithan Movie

o  
While Vijay (Rajinikanth)
takes down criminals at night, he continues to teach in a college during the
day. During a particular class, he recites the verse, ‘yadha yadha hi
dharmasya’ and explains to his students that whenever there is an imbalance of
justice in the world, God will take human form and come down to the earth to
restore the balance.

Season 3 / EP-10 – TED Talk – 8 Secrets of Success by Richard St. John –...

இந்த YouTube channel லை வாழ வைக்கும் தெய்வங்களாகிய எல்லா ஹீரோயின்களுக்கும், ஹீரோக்களுக்கும்
வணக்கம்.

Lessons learned from
the TED Talk:

The first
thing is passion. Freeman Thomas says, "I'm driven by my passion."
TEDsters do it for love; they don't do it for money.

Carol Coletta
says, "I would pay someone to do what I do." And the interesting
thing is: if you do it for love, the money comes anyway.

Work! Rupert
Murdoch said to me, "It's all hard work. Nothing comes easily. But I have
a lot of fun."

Alex Garden
says, "To be successful, put your nose down in something and get damn good
at it." There's no magic; it's practice, practice, practice.

And it's
focus. Norman Jewison said to me, "I think it all has to do with focusing
yourself on one thing."

And push!
David Gallo says, "Push yourself. Physically, mentally, you've got to
push, push, push." You've got to push through shyness and self-doubt.

Goldie Hawn
says, "I always had self-doubts. I wasn't good enough; I wasn't smart
enough. I didn't think I'd make it."

Now it's not
always easy to push yourself, and that's why they invented mothers.

Frank Gehry
said to me, "My mother pushed me."

Serve!
Sherwin Nuland says, "It was a privilege to serve as a doctor."

The first
thing I say is: "OK, well you can't serve yourself; you've got to serve
others something of value. Because that's the way people really get rich."

Bill Gates
says, "I had an idea: founding the first micro-computer software
company."

Persist! Joe
Kraus says, "Persistence is the number one reason for our success."
You've got to persist through failure. You've got to persist through crap!
Which of course means "Criticism, Rejection, Assholes and Pressure."
