So we have been getting pretty abstract lately. It's fun to talk abstract. It's more fun, although to talk about real life, practical stuff that you know something about. There is only one problem with talking about practical life. The talk is very limited. I like to listen to the people in the group that are experts at carrying the party. I don't talk much unless I somehow feel the urge to say something. Ya know I'm sayin?! On a similar note, its interesting to listen to people who really know what they are talking about because of the fact that they have experienced what they are talking about. I have noticed that there are some people in this world who absolutely understand what they are talking about when they are engaged in an intelligent conversation. Such people speak in a very clear, pause-free speech. Yes, there could be grammatical mistakes here and there based on how much of the language you have been exposed to. But the important part is that their thought process is so clear that whatever they say comes out in an extremely professional manner no matter what the circumstance. This is because they have complete trust on their brain and their tongue. They know that whatever they are going to say is going to be right, and in some case if they are not on the spot accurate, they will still be able to comprehend that mistake and understand that they made the mistake and take measures to rectify it. Society, as they know it, is there to learn something from them and not to debate and prove them wrong at what they are going to say.
If one wants to achieve this ability of flawless conversation, one needs to be knowledgeable. This can be achieved by learning and experiencing. This is fairly easy to do in my opinion. You don't have to sweat and stress about reading books day and night to become a good speaker. You just need to realize your knowledge and not open your mouth when you do not have sufficient matter to converse about. For me, it's easy to think that when you talk, you are essentially teaching someone something that you know or what you think about that thing. In the same manner, when someone is talking and you are listening, he or she is teaching you something that you may or may not already know. I am not talking about general conversations between friends here. I am talking about those scenarios with either friends or adults or other groups that you interact with when you feel you don't know enough about the subject and feel guilty about it.
I think it's dangerous when you start thinking too much. From personal experience, I have noticed that I have best performed when my mind is purely following a rhythm it has been set in by practice. When you think, you try to find a new way. This is not bad, but when this new way is implemented on test day without practice, it can have inconsistent results. Inconsistency results in lack of ability to predict and this leads to lack of confidence which affects your physical performance thereby changing the visible image that you reflect in the eyes of society.
