In a love relationship there are times of boredom, times when I may feel like giving up, times of real strain, and times I experience an impasse. Authentic love does not imply enduring hap
32、piness. I can stay during rough times, however, because I can re member what we had together in the past, and I can picture what we will have together in our future if we care enough to face our problems and work them through. We agree with reverend Maier when he writes that love is a spirit that ch
33、anges life. Love is creative and that transforms. However, Maier does not view love as being reserved for a perfect world. “Love is meant for our imperfect world where things go wrong. Love is meant to be a spirit that works in painful situations. Love is meant to bring meaning into life where nonse

37、 focus on how to make people feel at ease in conversations. I guess all of you sitting here can recall certain people who just seem to make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them, and feel as if youve known them half your life. These people who have that certain somet
38、hing that makes us feel comfortable have something in common. And once we know whatthat is, we can go about getting some of that something for ourselves. How is it done? Here are some of the skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they will help you put people at their ease, make th
39、em feel secure and comfortable, and turn acquaintances into friends.First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy, will answer a question. In fact, according to my observation, very shy persons are often more willing to answer questions than extroverts. They are more con
40、cerned that someone will think them impolite, if they dont respond to the questions. So most skillful conversationalists recommend starting with a question that is personal, but not harmful. For example, once a famous American TV presenter got a long and fascinating interview from a notoriously priv
41、ate millionaire by asking him about his first job. Another example, one prominent woman executive confesses that “at business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. “Its a dull question, but it gets things going. From there, you can move on to other matters, sometimes to really per
42、sonal questions. More over, how your respondent answers will let you know how far you wan go. A few simple catchwords, like really or yes, are clear invitations to continue talking.Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen for answers. This point seems obvious, but it isnt in fact.
43、 Making people feel comfortable is simply a matter of making idle conversation. Your questions have a point. You are really asking, “what sort of person are you?“ And to find out, you have to really listen. There are at least three components of real listening. For one thing, real listening means no
44、t changing the subject, If someone sticks to one topic, you can assume that he or she is really interested in it. Another component of real listening is listening not just to words, but to tones of voice. I once mentioned D. H. Lawrence to a friend. To my astonishment, she launched into an academic
45、discussion of the imagery in Lawrences works. Midway through, I listened to her voice. It was, to put it mildly, unanimated. And it seemed obvious that the imagery monologue was intended solely for my benefit. And I quickly changed the subject. And last, real listening means using your eyes as well
46、as your ears. When your gaze wanders, it makes people think they are boring you, or what they are saying is not interesting. Of course, you dont have to stare or glare at them. Simply looking attentive will make most people think that you think they are fascinating.Next, good talkers are not afraid
47、to laugh. If you think of all the people you know who make you feel comfortable, you may notice that all of them laugh a lot. Laughter is not only warming and friendly, its also a good way to ease other peoples discomfort. I have a friend, who might enjoy watching at gatherings of people who do not know each other well. The first few minutes of talk are a bit uneasy and hesitant, for the people involved do not
