Rule number 11:
Man-cyclopedia!

The classic advice when you speak to

 

people for the first time is: don't talk

 

about something unless you know

 

exactly what you're talking about. But imagine that you did talk about

 

things you don't really know, you stated

 

false facts by mistake and suddenly this

 

guy you've just met started to correct

 

you in front of everybody mentioning

 

how mistaken you were!

 

Annoying, isn't it?!

 

Perhaps it wouldn't be this annoying if

 

you two were alone and he chose a nice

 

way to correct your mistakes; maybe

 

you would be even grateful but when

 

this happens in public it takes an immediate turn towards self image

 

disruption.

 

You know when you use to be the tallest

 

kid in your class then you get to meet a

 

basketball group and you start feeling

 

very short?! You didn't actually lose

 

height or something but you’re being

 

relatively short.

 

Also in a conversation; although it's fun

 

to have a rich conversation with a

 

knowledgeable person but when they

 

start to share too much knowledge it stops being just “sharing” and begins to

 

appear bragging; which might become a

 

little boring and embarrassing to some

 

people because when it comes to

 

culture nobody likes to feel "shorter"!

 

Beside that they need to talk to a real

 

person not a human encyclopedia!

 

It is not wise though to keep quite when

 

you have something interesting to say,

 

being moderate is the answer, being

 

moderate is the key to everything.
