The year of 1937 ( I'm not gonna reveal where this name inspired me.)


Hello, readers.
Well, I assume there actually are enough to make the noun a plural.
Another night, another topic to discuss. But tonight's different, I actually have already prepared a topic for us to chew here, a topic I have prepared, mind you. OK, without further ado, today's topic will be...

Topic.


Wait! Wait! Don't go yet!
(Clearing throat) I apologize for my bad pun, so, let's get started. A topic is what make a conversation breaks out between two people. Without a topic, conversation usually wouldn't be made. So you could say a topic is what connects two person's mind. Vague enough eh? More explanations will be coming in a few sentences, sit on tight. The topic that would connect two minds is usually a common one, a common topic that shares between two person. You maintain a conversation with someone when you are speaking in your logical way while she is listening with her thinking logic. Those conversations normally will end awkwardly. To quote a Chinese proverb: Speak to duck in a chikenish (OK, I made that up) way.

It has happened to me quite a few times when I was young ( I still am). A conversation either started by me or the other person often ends with one of ours unnatural smile when we had been talking to each other without considering if the receiving partner understand the contents well enough or not. There had not been a very pleasant experience. In fact, I hated them.

Nonetheless, a smart person like me (I apologize for that, please stay), I had come out of a solution. Wanna know what is it? Well, you will have to wait until...

...No! You don't have to wait (since I am seriously lacking the confidence that you will be back tomorrow)! I will share with you in the next sentence!

The solution that I had come out is that I will keep quiet if I feel the content of the conversation that I'm going to start isn't going to be understood by the receiving side. Why waste the breath if what you are saying isn't going to appreciated by the other person? That's the whole point being, save the breath for someone who you think can understand you wel. l(I know my vocabularies seemed to be running out, but who cares, I'm learning.)

That's all I have got to say......tonight. (Gotta save something for future use.)


Until next time, may your conversations always end with a HI-5.
