My aunt is one of those people who can talk to anyone aout anything. If she goes to a party where she doesn't know any of the people, she just walks up to the first person that she sees and introduces herself. And yet she doesn't seem to talk about deeply important things like politics or religion. She always starts off with something very obvious like the other person's job. Very soon she's talking as if she's known the other person for years. I asked her once what her secret was. She said that the most important thing in a conversation was listening. People love to talk about themselves, so if you allow them to do, it's very easy to keep a conversation going. You have to listen very carefully and ask question. And you have to look interested, too. So don't keep looking at other things in the room while you're talking to someone.
Another thing that I've noticed is that she only pays a people compliments. She say: "I like your hair. Which hairdresser do you go to?" or "You look very well. Have you been on holiday?" Friendly messages like this seem to provide an easy way into a conversation.

"Pshaw!" said Charlie, laughing; "and it's only a stick of wood." "Yes; but you see I pretend it's a lesson, or a tough job of any kind, and it's nice to conquer it.""I don't want to conquer such things; I don't care what becomes of them. I wish I were a man, and a rich one." "Well, Charlie, if you live long enough you'll be a man, without wishing for it; and as for the rich part, I mean to be that myself." "You do.

"Sometimes more than that, and sometimes not so much," said Rob, in perfect good humor."I didn't say I was a bank clerk now. I said I was working towards it.
