【笔记】【TED】如何成为一个更好的交谈者
摘抄
There is no reason to learn how to show you're paying attention, if you are in fact paying attention.
rules:
Number one: don't multitask.
Don't be half in it and half out of it.
Number two: don't pontificate.
"Everyone you will ever meet knows something that you don't. "
Everybody is an expert in something.
Number three: ues open-ended questions.
Try asking them things like, "what was that like? ""how did that feel? "
Number four: give with the flow.
Stories and ideas are going to come to you. You need to let them come and let them go.
Number five: if you don't know, say that you don't know.
Err on the side of caution. Talk should not be cheap.
Number six: don't equate your experience with theirs.
All experiences are individual.
It is not about you.
Number seven: try not to repeat yourself.
Number eight: stay out of the weeds.
Number nine: listen.
Number ten: be brief.
I keep my mouth shut as often as I possibly I can, I keep my mind, and I'm always prepared to be amazed, and I'm never disappointed.
