To master the art of conversation, do these things:

1. Do not waste time titillating or entertaining yourself with moronic, toxic, "curated reality" microblogging social media.
2. Use the Internet to have purposeful, intelligent conversations with potential friends and colleagues.
3. Engage in these conversations in a way that enables you to have win-win experiences and build relationships.
4. Be sincerely interested in what other people think, especially when they see things differently.
5. Master the art of making each and every interaction "win-win".
