Chapter Five
TAKE TIME TO TALK TO PEOPLE
To Learn From Them
Once you are comfortable smiling at people, take a little extra time whenever you can and talk with people.
Ask the lunch waiter what he does when he is not at work. Maybe he is a student. What does he study? Which university does he attend? By stepping outside yourself you show another person you are interested in more than what they can do for you.
The clerk in the flower shop may share an interest with you about hang-gliding or knitting. Perhaps the clerk needs to share that she is excited about getting married. You will never know unless you ask.
Stop to talk to your neighbors in the hall or on the street. They usually will not bite if you smile first. You do not have to talk long. If they invite you to have tea or a drink, go ahead if it feels right. If their invitation is not appealing to you, decline gracefully--and smile.
You can be a friendly neighbor without becoming buddies. You may have to learn how to set better personal limits. Saying "no" may make you uncomfortable, but it is a skill we all need. Discomfort usually leads to learning, then takes us on to growth-- strengthening our foundation for happiness. Facing little fears is an example of a difficult choice which becomes easier with practice.
Take time to talk with people. You will be surprised at what you learn. Be Happy!

Do You Like To Laugh?
"Dr. Hunter,"complained the elderly patient, "when I get up in the morning I feel quite faint - and it lasts for up to an hour. What do you suggest?" "Hmmm," said the doctor, thoughtfully stroking his chin. "How about getting up an hour later?”
