The Blarney Stone is a historical stone, or actually part of the
Blarney Castle in Ireland where it was believed that kissing the stone can
grant you the gift of gab. Yeah, it seems strange in this day and age, but who
are we to question tradition? It's not like I'm saying that Santa Claus doesn't
exist (OOPS!).
There is so much to know about conversation that anyone, even I,
could ever realize. You can go though watching talk shows; radio programs;
clubs dedicated to public speaking; ordinary conversations; certain rules still
apply when it comes to interaction through words. It may sound tedious, I know,
but even though it's your mouth that's doing the work, your brain works twice
as hard to churn out a lot of things you know. So what better way to start
learning to be an effective communication is to know the very person closest to
you: yourself.
