Five ways to make conversation with anyone
Conversations are links, which means when you have a conversation with a new person a link gets formed and every conversation you have after that moment will strengthen the link. You meet new people every day: the grocery worker, the cab driver, new people at work or the security guard at the door. Simply starting a conversation with them will form a link. Here are five simple ways that you can make the first move and start a conversation with strangers.
41. ___________________
Suppose you are in a room with someone you don’t know and something within you says “I want to talk with this person”—this is something that mostly happens with all of us. You wanted to say something—the first word—but it just won’t come out, it feels like it is stuck somewhere. I know the feeling and here is my advice: just get it out. Just think: what is the worst that could happen? They won’t talk with you? Well, they are not talking with you now! I truly believe that once you get that first word out everything else will just flow. So keep it simple: “Hi”, “Hey” or “Hello”—do the best you can to gather all of the enthusiasm and energy you can, put on a big smile and say “Hi”.
42. ___________________
It’s a problem all of us face; you have limited time with the person that you want to talk with and you want to make this talk memorable. Honestly, if we got stuck in the rut of “hi”, “hello”, “how are you?” and “what’s going on?”, you will fail to give the initial jolt to the conversation that can make it so memorable. So don’t be afraid to ask more personal questions. Trust me, you’ll be surprised to see how much people are willing to share if you just ask.
43. ___________________
When you meet a person for the first time, make an effort to find the things which you and that person have in common so that you can build the conversation from that point. When you start conversation from there and then move outwards, you’ll find all of a sudden that the conversation becomes a lot easier.
44. ___________________
Imagine you are pouring your heart out to someone and they are just busy on their phone, and if you ask for their attention you get the response “I can multitask”. So when someone tries to communicate with you, just be in that communication wholeheartedly. Make eye contact. Trust me, eye contact is where all the magic happens. When you make eye contact, you can feel the conversation.
45. ___________________
You all came into a conversation where you first met the person, but after some time you may have met again and have forgotten their name. Isn’t that awkward! So, remember the little details of the people you met or you talked with; perhaps the places they have been to, the places they want to go, the things they like, the things they hate—whatever you talk about. When you remember such things you can automatically become investor in their wellbeing. So they feel a responsibility to you to keep that relationship going.

对话是纽带，这意味着当你与一个新认识的人进行对话时，一条纽带就形成了，而此后你们之间的每一次对话都会加强这条纽带。你每天都会遇到新的人：杂货店员工、出租车司机、工作中的新同事或门口的保安。只要和他们开始对话，就会形成一条纽带。以下是你可以主动出击、与陌生人开始对话的五种简单方法。
假设你和一个不认识的人在房间里，内心有个声音说"我想和这个人说话"——这在我们大多数人身上都会发生。你想说点什么——说第一个词——但它就是说不出口，感觉卡在了某个地方。我懂这种感觉，我的建议是：就说出来吧。想想看：最坏能怎样？他们不跟你说话？好吧，他们现在也没在跟你说话！我真的相信一旦你说出第一个词，其他一切都会顺畅起来。所以保持简单："嗨"、"嘿"或"你好"——尽你所能聚集所有的热情和能量，露出灿烂的笑容，说声"嗨"。
这是我们所有人都面临的问题；你和想交谈的人在一起的时间有限，而你希望这次交谈令人难忘。老实说，如果我们困在"嗨"、"你好"、"你好吗"和"最近怎么样"的老套路里，你将无法给对话带来使之难忘的初始震撼。所以不要害怕问更私人的问题。相信我，你会发现只要你去问，人们有多愿意分享，你一定会惊讶。
当你第一次见到一个人时，努力找出你和那个人的共同之处，这样你就可以从这一点出发建立对话。当你从那里开始对话然后向外延伸，你会突然发现对话变得容易得多。
想象一下你正在对某人倾吐心声，而他们却忙着看手机，如果你要求他们的注意力，你得到回答"我可以多任务处理"。所以当有人试图与你交流时，就全心全意地投入到那个交流中。进行眼神交流。相信我，眼神交流是所有魔法发生的地方。当你进行眼神交流时，你可以感受到对话。
你们都进入过第一次见到某人的对话，但过了一段时间你们可能再次遇到，却忘记了他们的名字。这难道不尴尬吗！所以，记住你见过或交谈过的人的小细节；也许是他们去过的地方、他们想去的地方、他们喜欢的东西、他们讨厌的东西——无论你们谈论什么。当你记住这些事情，你会自然而然地成为他们福祉的投资人。所以他们觉得有责任对你维持这段关系。
