Talk to Strangers

"Don't talk to strangers" might be helpful advice when you're 5 years-old. It's definitely bad advice if you're about age 7 or older. Talking to strangers makes life interesting, expands you're experiences and way of looking at the world, and gives you opportunities to influence and help others. I'd wager that the most effective thinkers, leaders, communicators, and care-givers out there regularly talk to strangers, gaining information and experiences that make them more effective at what they do.Some of my favorite moments in a day come from interactions and conversations I get into with strangers. Wherever you find yourself today, I recommend talking to strangers. Put your busy life aside for a minute and start a conversation with a nearby strangers. Who knows what could happen?
