Chapter 26 Tip 23 Know the world's affairs when you go out

You must have heard people sigh, "I can't go to that party, I have nothing to wear!" Ever heard the statement, "I can't go to the party, I have nothing to say!" When you're going to a social gathering, you're sure to wear the most appropriate clothing and matching shoes.Of course, you will also wear a decent tie, or put on the right lipstick for you.Then I flicked my hair, took my business card, and set off. Hey, wait, did you forget the most important thing?What would you talk to someone about to improve your image?Don't you want something to come to an end, what do you think of and say?Or just leave it alone?You don't close your eyes, reach into your closet, grab an outfit and wear it to a dinner party.By the same token, you shouldn't be stuck saying what comes to your mind when faced with a crowd of smiling expectant faces.Yes, go with your instincts when you're talking, but at least plan ahead in case inspiration doesn't knock at your door.


The last thing you need to do before heading out to a party (even after you've checked your outfit in the mirror) is to turn on the radio and listen to the news, or flip through the paper.Any event of the day is a good subject for conversation.Being familiar with the important events of the time can also save you from asking questions about what everyone is talking about in full view.That kind of embarrassment is uncomfortable, especially for everyone around you.
If you want to have sufficient topics for conversation, the best way is to read the news before going out.What's happening around the world recently—fires, floods, plane crashes, regime overthrows, stock market crashes—are good subjects for conversation, no matter what kind of crowd you're dealing with.This technique, I call it "going out to know the world's affairs".
