THE FIRST FOUR MINUTES

When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. In his book "Contact The First Four Minutes" he offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendship, "Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes. A lot of people's whole lives would change if they did just that".

You may have noticed that the average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he has just met He keeps looking over the other person's shoulder, as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room. If anyone has ever done this to yen, you probably did not like him very much.

When we are introduced to new people, the author suggests, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident In general, he says, "People like people who like themselves".

On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves. It is important to seem interested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person has his own needs, fears, and hopes.

Hearing such advice, one might say, "But I am not a friendly, self-confident person. That's not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to act that way".

In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits.
