Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is we can try to do it ourselves.
How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they’ 11 help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. And to find out what sort of person you are talking to, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.
Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of the conversation. Real listening also means not just listening to words but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’ s time for you to change the subject. Finally, good talkers know well now to deal with the occasion of parting. If you want to see that person again, don’ t keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ ve known you half their life.

Most of you would probably say that what makes you truly happy is your family and the love you share in your relationships, and I couldn’t agree more. But money comes into play in those relationships.
When I talk about money this way to a group, there is always someone who comes up to me and says, “Suze, you are so wrong. Money isn’t the key to life—this is’“At which point their wallet flies open and they show me a photo of their family.
That’s when things get interesting, because I start asking them questions: Did you take that photo with your own camera? It looks like a beautiful beach, was the photo taken on a family vacation? Do you hope to help those beautiful boys and girls go to college?
As their answers are “yes“ , I ask them how they provide all of that for their family. That’s when they understand that I had it right.
I totally agree that family and friends are of great importance to our well being; without meaningful relationships, there’s no chance of ever being truly happy. That’s why, every Saturday night, I end my CNBC show with the following words:“People first. Then money. Then things. “
How we deal with the money we have also plays into our happiness. Over the past few decades (十年), the percentage of Americans who say they’re happy hasn’t changed much, while at the same time the average income has doubled. So we have more money, but we’re not much happier on average.
A paradox(悖论)? Far from it. My sense is that while we’re making more money, we arent’t making more of the money we make. We have to pay for a lot of things, and we have to worry a-bout saving for retirement(退休)in a way that our parents and grandparents never did. And as man-y of you know, it’s really hard to increase your happiness when you’ve got a lot of money worries.
Do you agree, or am 1 way off base ? I’d love to know what do you think about the money/ happiness connection.

W: It serves you right. He overslept again. He can’ t tell the woman the truth. He failed the exam again.

It was the first snow of winter. Up until now, I had been able to dress myself for recess(课间休息), but today I would need some help. Miss king, my kindergarten teacher, may still remember this one.
I managed to get into my snow pants, but I struggled with my jacket because it did not fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother. Finally it was time to have Miss King help me with my boots. She said, “By the end of winter, you will be able to put on your own boots. “
I handed her my boots, and she managed to get the first one into place and then worked the second one on, too.
I said, “They are on the wrong feet. “ She struggled to get the boots off and tried again. Then I said, “These aren’ t my boots, they are my brother’ s boots and I hate them!“ Somehow, she managed to act as though I was not an annoying little girl. She pushed and shoved, less gently this time and the boots were returned to their proper place on my feet. Seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, “Now, where are your gloves?“
I looked into her eyes and said, “ I did not want to lose them, so I put them into the toes of my boots. “

Suzie: It’ s so good to have some chocolate after such a long day. I wonder how they could be made so delicious.
Charles: They are made from Cocoa beans, grown on a small tropical plant called the Cocoa tree.
Suzie: So it can only be grown in the tropical countries?
Charles: Yes, in Central and South America, and other tropical areas. As a matter of fact, 70% of the world’ s Cocoa trees are grown in South Africa. Cocoas beans are the seeds of the tree. Unlike the fruit, it’ s actually quite bitter.
Suzie: Really? Then how does it become the sweet chocolate then?
Charles: The Cocoa beans are roasted so that it dries and the flavor becomes stronger. After that, the beans would get cracked to leave out the outer shells, and then ground to a paste.
Suzie: Can the paste be eaten?
Charles: If we remove the fat from the paste, we then get cocoa, which is a favorite drink in winter. But if we want to make chocolate bars, we still need to add things like sugar, cocoa butter, vanilla, and milk. When this mixture get heated and cooled for several times, it gets really smooth and can be made into the chocolate bars that you love so much.
Suzie: Wow.
