The Art of Speaking (Part 4)

You learn nothing when you are speaking, but if you want to learn, you must do it by listening. Ask questions that people love to answer it, everything about them, their great achievement, etc. Remember, someone who have toothache is only thinking about him/hersefl rather than tsunami which killed million people in some region of the world.

When you are listening, make eyes contact. People will feel you pay attention to what they are talking about if you keep eyes contact, they also will be feel respected.

For Larry King, body language is just like verbal language. Body language is natural part of conversation and communication. If it happened naturally, body language will become effective form of communication. If it just pretended, it will look like its original -> fake. Act natural and speak from your heart.
