Ways to overcome your fear and turn strangers into new connections
克服恐懼,把陌生人變為新朋友!
Say“Hi.”
說“嗨!”
Just say "Hi," to someone. You'd be amazed at how quickly you get a friendly response. When I worked in restaurants, we often had rules like,"say hello within a minute of someone walking in" or"answer the phone within three rings."
僅僅“嗨”一聲打個招呼,你也會發現對方竟很快報以友好回應。我在酒店工作時,酒店里的規定就是“客人進門一分鐘內要打招呼”或“電話鈴響三聲就要接應”。
Practice with people wherever you are–the grocery store, the bank, the farmers’market. Just say "hello ' and smile. You’ll be amazed by how many people respond.
請學著隨時隨地遇人打招呼。去雜貨店、菜場或銀行時,請微笑著說“你好”。你會驚訝地發現,很多人都會友好地回應你。
