如何做個有趣的人?
How to Be Interesting wikihow
Travel to new places. Take a trip to a
different country or continent. Go on a solo tour through a foreign area or
travel with friends to a new city. Travelling to new places can help you gain
new experiences and broaden your understanding of the world.
You may decide to go on a trip around the world to really expand your
horizons. Or you may choose just one new area to visit for a few days.
Traveling is a great time to step outside of your comfort zone. You may
encounter new and interesting experiences that you wouldn't have if you did
what was familiar.
Develop expertise in topics that interest
you. Think of a topic or subject that you have always been curious about and
focus on learning more. Pick a new interest at random and learn all you can
about it. Broaden your existing interests to include things you may know
nothing about or have a burning desire to learn about.
For example, if you are interested in music, you may get involved in
online music forums and attend music shows to deepen your interest. Or if you
are interested in painting, you may join a painting group to explore your
interest in a deeper way.
If you like to keep up with the news, you may go deeper by reading the
texts behind different political theories, such as capitalism, socialism, and
anarcha-feminism.
Learn a new skill. Focus on a skill you
have always wanted to try or been curious about, such as painting, drawing,
crocheting, or dance. Then, teach yourself the skill or take a class on the
skill. Having a new skill will help to broaden your experiences and give you
something to talk about with others.
For example, you may take a hip hop dance class if you’ve always been
curious about the genre and want to learn something new. Or you may take a
still life painting class to get better at painting figures.
Taking up a new skill can also allow you to meet new people and expand
your social network. This can help you learn more about different people and be
mo
re interesting.
Tell good stories about your experiences.
Be interesting by relying stories in an entertaining way when you talk to
people in your friend circle or at parties. Choose a memorable experience from
a recent trip or discuss a funny experience at the grocery store. Use a
personal story to connect with others and be social.
Include only the important parts of the story, or the highlights, so
your listeners are entertained.
Use your body and your voice when telling the story so it is engaging.
Talk with your hands, maintain eye contact, and create a character with your
voice.
Show pictures of your unique experiences too! Keep these on your phone
for easy access when you need them.
Connect with others about common interests.
When talking to others, try to find out what you have in common. Talking about
shared interests will engage the other person and make them more interested in
getting to know you.

The Messy, Dangerous Task of Cleaning Up
After Dead Bodies
wired.com
People die every day. Whether by natural
causes, murder or suicide, the one thing you can count on is death. The unlucky
ones die without family or friends surrounding them, alone. Inevitably even
these forgotten corpses are noticed. Perhaps a neighbor notices a foul smell
emanating from the house next door. The police arrive, then the coroner.
Eventually the body is taken away.
But what happens then?
Who cleans up the potentially hazardous,
biological mess that’s left behind? To find out, Wired followed Steri-Clean, a
company that specializes in bio-remediation, including cleaning up after dead
bodies have been removed from a scene.
The body the company was dealing with on
this day had been dead for over a month. The smell was distinctive and
unforgettably obnoxious. The garage was littered with dead cats and something
that looked like a rabbit or a guinea pig. Its walls were covered in scratch
marks, evidence of the forgotten animals’ desperation to escape.
The house was littered with animal feces.
Dishes were piled in the sink. A bicycle stood up against the wall. One of the
Steri-Clean crew opened the fridge and immediately shut it, but not before it
added to the putrid stench. “This isn’t so bad,” they assured us.
