Being able to connect with others through small talk can lead to big things, according to Debra Fine, author of"the Fine Art of Small Talk."
Fine and her fellow authorities on making small talk offer the following tips for starting-and
ending-conversations:
1. As you prepare for a conference, come up with three things to talk about as well as four generic
questions that will get othe rs talking. If you"ve met the host before, __________, such as her passion for a
sport or a charity you"re both involved in.
2. Be the first to say"Hello." If you"re not sure the othe r person will remember you, offer your name to ease
the pressure. For example:"Charles Bartlett? Lynn Schmidt-good to see you again." Smile first and always shake hands when you meet someone.
3. Have something interesting to contribute. Keeping up with current events and culture will provide you with great conversation builders, leading with"What do you think of...?""Have you heard...?" Stay away from negative or controversial topics.
4. Have a few exit lines ready so that you can both gracefully move on. For example,"I need to check in with a client over the re,""I skipped lunch today, so I need to visit the buffet," or you can offer to refresh the ir drink.
When should you exit a conversation? According to Susan RoAne, author and speaker known as the
"Mingling Maven," your aim in all conversations should be to make a good impression and leave people wanting more. To do that, she advises:"Be bright. Be brief. Be gone." |

At Institute for the Future, game designer Jane McGonigal creates massive (大规模的) multi-player free
online role-playing games (MMORPGs), which focus on social changes and environmental problems. She
hopes that players will use their new skills to make the real world better.
According to Jane, our addiction to gaming is actually a great thing, so long as we use it properly. Speaking
at the TED (Technology／Entertainment／Design) 2010 Conference, Jane says that people should devote more
time to games to build the skills necessary to make the world better. People who take part in MMORPGs
develop specialized skills in problem-solving as a team. So, if gamers are willing to take part in role-playing
games based on real-world problems,they will be able to work together to find ways that can be used in the
real world.
Jane focuses on creating the kinds of video games that enable players to make a difference in their own
lives and the lives of those around them. In 2007, she helped create a video game called A World Without Oil,
in which 1, 800 players tried to find new ways to transport themselves in a world without oil. Even after
completing the game, the players focused on the problem and its possible solutions. Her next game, Evoke,
takes an even more practical way. Game players are mainly young people in Africa. They will learn to create a
business that will help stop problems such as poverty and AIDS on a local level. By the end of the game,
players will be guided by experts on how to start their own businesses.
"We can make any future we imagine and we can play any games we want," she said at the TED
Conference."So let the world-changing games begin." |
