Is Small Talk Okay?
April 21, 2010
Finally I was able to see that if I had a contribution I wanted to make, I must do it, despite what others said. That I was OK the way I was. That it was all right to be strong.

"Make small talk. People who create their own luck don't wait for a great opening line, nor do they initiate conversation with big talk.... They tend to talk about little things: weather, traffic, movies, and the like. They might start by saying, 'Hello, how are you?' Then they listen to the response, build on it, and create a connection. By seeking out serendipity, they make things happen in their lives."
