To Be Interesting, Be Interested.

The Sure-thing Boat Never Gets Far From Shore.

He Who Treads Softly Goes Far.

I Realize Now That People Are Not Thinking About You And Me Or Caring What Is Said About Us. They Are Thinking About Themselves-before Breakfast, After Breakfast, And Right On Until Ten Minutes Past Midnight. They Would Be A Thousand Times More Concerned About A Slight Headache Of Their Own Than They Would About The News Of Your Death Or Mine.

Be Sympathetic With The Other Person's Ideas And Desires.

Merely Stating A Truth Isn't Enough. The Truth Has To Be Made Vivid, Interesting, Dramatic. You Have To Use Showmanship.
