How do you talk with people when meeting them if you want to leave a good impression? Here a some tips for you/
Tip 1 | You have to show up, which can be a challenge for many of us. You can show up as an observer（旁观者）of other interesting people and let that be a learning experience for you. Before you start talking, it's important to just listen, even if you think you are a wise storyteller. If you are close to a group of people who are discussing a topic, watch their body language and see if they will let you join in their conversation. |
Tip 2 | You'd better go in the conversation with a couple of topics to keep it going, or questions to ask if there is a short stop. Simple things like "How do you know the host?”and "How did you get here?” are always good conversation starters to a certain extent（在一定程度上）. |
Tip 3 | Don't fear silences. Awkward（令人尴尬的）silences are common part of talking with people, just rush to fill them. If you don't want to go on with the conversation, just say you are going to get another drink or something to eat, and find another group to talk with. |
Tip 4 | Relax. If you cannot keep a conversation going, or you don't know what you should say next, give yourself a little time to clear your head. Relax, and then turn back into the discussion. |

One of the biggest mistakes a person can make is to try not to make mistakes. As you make decisions in your life, you will very likely make some mistakes. But making mistakes is a big part of how you gain(获得) experience.
A simple example. You do poorly on a test because you didn't study hard enough. One bad test is not the end of the world, but it can quickly teach you that if you don't study, you won't do well.
Mistakes sometimes lead to arguments(争论) between people. But if you learn to understand things from another person's point of view, you will be able to learn very quickly from the mistakes you make and the mistakes you think other people have made. You can turn mistakes into opportunities(机会) .
For example, if you learn to understand others' feelings and problems, you will understand the people you work with much better instead of getting angry. And you will learn to talk about problems and be more patient with people you don't agree with—a friend, or a mate in your workroom or company.
So next time you think you've made a mistake, stop and ask yourself what you've learned from it, and what you will do differently in the future.
Show me the person in the room who has made a lot of mistakes, and I'll show you the person who has probably learned a lot.
