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 friendships: (1)
A lot of people’s whole lives would change if they did just
that. You may have noticed that average person does not give his
undivided attention to someone he as just met. (2) If
anyone has ever done this to you, 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 appear interested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person
has his own needs, fears, and hopes. Hearing such advice, one
might say, "But I’m not a friendly, self-confident person. That’s not my nature.
It would be dishonest for me to do in that way." (3)
We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our
personality. "It is like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at
first, but it goes much better than the old one." But isn’t it
dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don’t
actually feel that way Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, "total honest" is
not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few
minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of
play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger.
That is not the time to complain about one’s health or to mention faults one
finds in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one’s
opinions and impressions. (4) For a husband
and wife or a parent and child, problems often arise during their first four
minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first
few minutes together be treated with care. If there are unpleasant matters to be
discussed, they should be dealt with later. The author says that
interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school,
along with reading, writing, and mathematics. (5) that is
at least as important as how much we know. A. In reply, Dr.
Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about
changing our social habits. B. Much of what has been said about
strangers also applies to relationships with family members and
friends. C. In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on
how we get along with other people. D. Every time you meet
someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four
minutes. E. He keeps looking over the other person’s shoulder,
as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the
room. F. He is eager to make friends with everyone. The first
four minutes.
