Pause Before You Speak
- Stop and think before speaking to avoid most conversational faults.
- Try to say only things that will be agreeable to others in company.
Don't Repeat Or Ignore
- Avoid repeating the same story or details unless it genuinely suits the company.
- Refrain from habitually asking "What?" out of inattentiveness when someone speaks.
Delivery Trumps Content
- Light, unmalicious humor transforms ordinary remarks into delight.
- The charm often lies in delivery, intonation, and personality rather than content.
