Being Interested:

M. Goulsten, Just Listen:

>"It occurs to me, Jim, that you spend too much time trying to be interesting," he said. "Why don't you invest more time being interested?"

If you want an interesting dinner conversation, be interested. If you want interesting things to write, be interested. If you want to meet interesting people, be interested in people you meet - their lives, their history, their story.<
