http://mindpersuasion.com/ir/ Most people think that because talking is natural, it's not really something we need to practice. But in order to become elegantly persuasive, practice is crucial. Learn How: http://mindpersuasion.com/ir/

2. Dale Carnegie tells an interesting story
in one of his books.

3. Some famous lady (politician or rich
person or something) had a
"conversation" with Carnegie one
evening.

4. Only Carnegie didn't speak much.

5. All he did was ask directed questions
and follow up questions.

6. All the while being genuinely
interested in what she had to say.

7. A couple days later, when somebody
asked her opinion of Carnegie, she
said, "He's the most interesting
conversationalist I've ever met!"

8. This, of course, is after he discovered
that EVERYBODY is always most
interested in themselves.

9. So when you talk to people about
themselves, they will like talking to
you.

10. ESPECIALLY when most of us walk
around talking about ourselves.

11. If you want to do an interesting an eye
opening experiment, eavesdrop on a
couple people talking.

12. Or take yourself out of the
conversation, mentally, if you're in a
group.

13. You'll hear something like this:

14. "Well, I .... and I ... so I..."

15. "Yes, that's fascination. But me... and
me... and me..."

16. Another thing you'll notice is there is a
HUGE lack of "content" in most every
day conversations.

17. In our heads we've got these half
baked ideas.

18. Then we attach a bunch of random
words onto these ideas and spit them
out. And hope something works.

19. Trouble is, when EVERYBODY is doing
that, you get a bunch of people talking
about themselves with a LOT of
"fillers."

20. Sure, talking is natural. Walking is
natural.

21. Eating is natural. We don't have to
think about it. We just do it.

22. But you can also improve the way you
walk, talk and eat.

23. In fact, ANYTHING you can do, you can
improve upon.

24. All you've got to do is elevate it to the
conscious level, improve what works,
get rid of what doesn't and let it sink
back down into your unconscious.

25. Your words are your most valuable
tool.

26. Your most effective skill.

27. Your ability to take a thought from
inside your head, put words to it, and
put that SAME thought (and what you
think about that thought) into the
heads of others will open doors most
don't know exist.

28. The power of your words will take you
farther than any degree, any amount
of experience, and any connections (or
lack thereof).

29. And when you combine these two
ideas, that if increasing your ability
with your words AND the fact that
everybody is MOST worried about
themselves, you can create anything
you want.
