There are two different Donald Trump's. There's the one you see on the stage and there is the one who is very cerebral. He sits there and considers things very carefully. You can have a very good conversation with him. And that's the Donald Trump that you'll going to start seeing more and more of.
I like being around people who are good conversationalists.
People often recommend, "Why do you ask?" as a good conversation stopper. But that really doesn't end the conversation, it just leaves the other person sputtering for a response. I like, "You'll be the first to know. ".
If you can listen well, people will say you're a good conversationalist.
The one seeks a midwife to deliver his thoughts, the other, someone to assist: thus a good conversation comes into being.
Good listeners are perceived as good conversationalists.
Good writing is good conversation, only more so.
If you want to be a good conversationalist, be a good listener. To be interesting, be interested.
The mark of a good conversationalist is not that you can talk a lot. The mark is that you can get others to talk a lot. Thus, good schmoozer's are good listeners, not good talkers.
So if you aspire to be a good conversationali st, be an attentive listener.
