Dare to Self Improve

Why do I encourage people to become as social as possible, beyond the simple fact that it improves your life in almost every single way? Even if you’re socially awkward, plowing through that and maintaining a social mindset will make you BETTER and improve your social awareness and social calibration.

As I was saying yesterday, I prefer phone conversations to text messaging. Why? Because, in all honesty, I’m a pretty good conversationalist and I come off best when talking. The great thing about actual conversations, is that you can exhibit an important trait of being charming: quick wit. Everyone likes someone who’s quick witted and humorous, and that comes across most effectively during verbal communication. So the best way to practice AND exhibit your awesome wit, is by talking!

You can still be funny with texts, but here you have the advantage of being able to be “slow-witted” and carefully craft a humorous one-liner. BUT, real conversations are the true test of quick wit!
