Have A Great Conversation....Ask Questions

Obviously, it is practically impossible to have a meaningful conversation with someone without asking questions.  Granted, some people ask too many questions. Some people are nosy.  Others are genuinely interested in how and/or what you are doing.  It takes wisdom to ask the right questions.  Not everyone we know is a "people person."  It does not mean that they are hateful or rude.  Sometimes they are shy.  Sometimes they are too proud to make a mistake, so they say nothing.  Sometimes they do not know very much, and are afraid to engage someone in a conversation.  That last group can use their lack of knowledge to ask questions and learn something while gaining an opportunity to enjoy a pleasant conversation.  It is my view that there are many, things of interest in this world.  But the most interesting "things" are human beings.  They can truly enrich you, and you can enrich them.  Have a great conversation.  Don't forget to ask some good questions.  If you want to take it to a higher level, be sure to love the person with whom you are talking.
