#4. Show interest in small talk

  • Most people won’t open up to you about the big things in their lives if you don’t express interest in their little day-to-day happenings.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
