In the era of this technology explosion, everyone is holding smartphone all the time, we are no longer face to face conversation, but through the message, and use facebook or instagram to understand each other's current situation.
Gradually we lost the enthusiasm of the conversation, no longer listen to each other's emotions.
I am also not good at talking with people, listening to this speech I benefit a lot.
In this speech, you can relearn the skills of communication, very basic principles.
The most important thing is to listen, everyone has some hidden, amazing thing about them, carefully listen to, you will be able to learn something.
