Enhance your conversations and have more fun

Enhance your conversations and have more fun

I believe that if we share what we love with others the world will know more about what we want and we can do more of what we love to do. The most extreme example is sharing what we do with a stranger. This conversation revolves around the : what's new in life? question. This scenario has two new people whom are going to have a conversation for less than 30 seconds.

Typical conversation:
me: What's new in life?
person:Nothing, same old same old.
me: Really? Do you have anything you enjoy doing?  like exercising, washing dishes, grenade throwing, trying to fly, ya know fun stuff?
person: they laugh and tend to share something interesting going on in there life or what they love to do.

The conversation break down:

The typical response
The response "nothing same old same old" is a deflection response or a simple curtesy response to the questionnaire. The reason for this is culturally we respond in such a way due to our fast pace lives. Depending on the size city you live in, this response can be anywhere from no response at all to full day worth the laughter.  To enhance this conversation so that it is more fun. A fun response must be used.

The way to get a fun response
For the sake of this example a follow up question was used to enhance the conversation: "Really? Do you have anything you enjoy doing?  like exercising, washing dishes, grenade throwing, trying to fly, ya know fun stuff?" by making a list of real and fun things. Peoples minds are than stimulated to have a different response. Laughter or a smile will start the response and than soon follow a short or long answer.  As a result you can determine at this point where the conversation will go. In most cases we will see the person respond with there own kind of question that you will have to answer. As a result a fun conversation can happen in some cases in less than 30 seconds.

Over all remember to enhance the social scenarios around you by improving your conversations with something fun in your follow up question.  In the example above this conversation is less than 30 seconds and creates a more genuine interest in a persons life.  As we share what we love with others the world will know more about what we want and we can do more of what we love to do.  As a result we will have one more reason to smile in our day and enjoy our lives.  So be sure to enjoy the people around you and have as much fun as possible. You never know who your going to meet.

Be more awesome
