But like everything, it gets easier with practice.By Justin BarisoJessica Hagy wrote the book on being interesting.Literally.It all started with a piece she penned for Forbes a few years ago, entitled, How to Be More Interesting (In 10 Simple Steps). The article works not only because the advice is timeless (including recommendations like "explore ideas, places and opinions" and "hop off the bandwagon"), but because the simple illustrations are perfect complements. (Hagy's also an artist whose work has been translated into more than a dozen languages.)The article went viral. So, naturally, it was turned into a book.But Hagy's advice got me to thinking:There's a single action one could take, that actually rolls all ten of Hagy's steps into one. I've taken this action for years and people repeatedly point it out as a major strength, one that they both appreciate and have learned from.What is that single action?Assume that everyone else is interesting.How it WorksWhen you assume others are interesting, you're naturally drawn to learn more about them.You ask questions--not in an invasive or nosy way, but out of the most innocent of motives: curiosity. Where are you from? Where did you grow up? Where have you been? Those are three variations of one simple question, that could lead to hours of potential conversation--and easily draw an individual out.When you assume others are interesting, you don't dismiss their thoughts or opinions as wrong, or strange (even when everyone else does).Instead, you endeavor to understand why the person thinks and feels the way they do. And in doing so, that person is naturally intrigued about you. As a byproduct, the other person is more open to hear and consider your thoughts and opinions--even when they disagree with them.968重庆之声每周一至周五8点56分每天三分钟养成良好英语听说习惯
