You should know how to chat and listen..

I think communication and being able to have a good conversation is a key component in any friendship or relationship. Being able to talk face to face with someone is something everyone should be able to do. Not only should you be able to converse with anybody, you have to know how to listen. Our whole lives we have learned some ways to be a good listener and how to be respectful when someone is talking. Celeste shows how every conversation should be like a personal interview. I plan on using that idea when I listen to people in the future. I am going to take away a tip she gave. The tip is to not multitask when engaging in a conversation. I personally tend to think about other things that I need to accomplish in the future sometimes while I am listening to someone else talk. From now on, I plan on focusing on who I am talking or listening to. Another takeaway that I am getting from this Ted-talk is to go into every conversation open minded. If you go into a conversation only agreeing and thinking about your own thoughts, it could ruin the whole point of the conversation.
