Sometimes speaking to someone else goes on very well, but suddenly
you lose words to share. Silence stands between you and the other. But, there
is a way that will lead to keep your conversation going on.
Share at
least 30% of new information:
No
conversation will continue if there is no new information and it is only the
repetition of the same information. It gets you bored and you will get no
stimulation from the conversation. This type of conversation is like an
upturned pyramid. The more you continue to talk, less information is exchanged.
The use of
30% rule, you and your friend, it is easier to learn new things every time. It
keeps the conversation interesting and at the same time freshen up both of you.
Why sharing
not more or less than 30%
If you go on
adding new information too much, the
conversation will be one-sided. The
person whom you are speaking to may feel that you are not paying attention to them. He/she will take your conversation simply as recitation of lots of facts known to you. It is nothing more than a lecture than a
conversation.
How to make 30% rule to work
In conversation, both the parties need to be involved to make it continue.
If the person you are speaking to, gets bored somehow, you will fail to make him
interested anymore. If the 30% rule doesn’t work, put off conversation for another day.
Every topic doesn’t offer equal opportunity
Every topic doesn’t have much potentiality to be carried on for some time.
If someone said that “the apple is sweet” you might feel that there is nothing
to add to this statement. You simply need to acknowledge the statement. But if
it is like “ the food I took in the new restaurant is very nice.” It is very
much inspirational to involve the other person to converse with you adding
another information.
A brief to interesting conversation
- Listen to the other person attentively.
- Try to understand what they intend to say
- Ask questions, but avoid answering with "yes" or "no" type
answers.
- Avert one-word answers.
- Act enthusiastically and interestingly
- Resolve awkwardness by joking about it.
- Go deeper as possible.
