How To Talk To Anyone
Es-posed tabbee getting ready for the coming week, like checking my online calendar, cleaning up the garbage on the floor, putting away the books on my bed, emptying my bag and updating my day timer.
Supposed to be.
But instead I'm typing away on my laptop, watching Pulse24, sourcing for a second laptop, listening to Buck 65, and reading some girl's myspace space (I hate myspace). She reminds me of an ex. Saw her on Google Video.
Got PL a nice pressie. I hope she enjoys it. I got meself a pressie as well. Something to help me with one of my Action Items! for fiscal 2006. As I was looking for something for PL at my local Chapters, I figured that I should hit the ground running on my 2006 Action Items! After all, I'm all for self-improvement. Okay, not really. Sometimes. Let's just say that I get distracted easily (see third paragraph of this entry for proof).
As I stood infront of the myriad self-help books I thought, man, there must be a lot of totally fucked up people in the world. There's hundreds of books on this aisle alone. After that brief commentary on the mental state of the majority of westerners, I eagerly searched for a book that might help me manage my time more efficiently or help me communicate gooder.
I picked up How To Talk to Anyone by Leil Lowndes because it was yellow and very bright. I read a couple of her tips and thought, man, this is exactly how I do it. I already know this shit. I totally agree with her insights. I put it back down to look for other books. After a few minutes I ended right back infront of her book. I picked it up again, read another tip and agreed once more. I started flipping through the book and ended up at the Notes page. Her first note was from Paul Ekman's book, Telling Lies. That did it. I had to get this book.
So now I'm learning how to talk to anyone. I'm a bit surprised thought that none of her tips suggest you to use "Hey baby" as an ice-breaker.
I'll update you on how things are progressing.
