party people cocktails
Large cocktail parties are an infamous technique for ridding yourself of social obligations to people you usually don't know well or like much, which is such an unpromising beginning that I've rarely known one that recovered and turned into a great party.
talking perfect people
The aging process seems to strike first at the mechanism which warns that we have been talking too much and the listener is growing restless. The signal isn't perfect at any age - drink, for instance, throws it right out of kilter - but it is almost non-existent in old people.
children party adults
Small children do not belong at an adult party, and especially should not be used like trained midgets to help serve martinis.
clothes people how-you-feel
The way you dress is the billboard that tells perceptive people how you feel about yourself.
humor laughing interviews
A good laugh makes any interview, or any conversation, so much better.
new-year party shallow-person
Deep breaths are very helpful at shallow parties.
people rumor lines
I find very often people like to confront rumors. It depends on how much they trust you. And you have to have a line between what is tasteful and what isn't.
children sleep self
Wait for those unguarded moments. Relax the mood and, like the child dropping off to sleep, the subject often reveals his truest self.
jobs women feelings
To feel valued, to know, even if only once in a while, that you can do a job well is an absolutely marvelous feeling.
jobs land conversation
politics ... is the hottest, most dangerous subject in the land. It's not only a conversation-wrecker, it's a friendship-wrecker, a family-wrecker, a job-wrecker, a future-wrecker.
believe buddhism heaven
All of the religions - with the exception of Tibetan Buddhism, which doesn't believe in a heaven - teach that heaven is a better place. At the end of the program, I say that heaven is a place where you are happy. All of the religions have that in common.
men ifs caustic
If it's a woman, it's caustic; if it's a man, it's authoritative.
jobs fighting complaining
Just do your job. Get in early. Stay late, and don’t complain. Fight the big fights.
religious mean interesting
I also found that for myself, since I've had no religious education, it was so interesting to see the different versions of heaven and what life on earth means.
