Talking

Everybody is shy to start a conversation but everyone wants to talk. People find it awkward, embarrassing, and weird to initiate a chat. Hence they won’t make the first move and simply wait and expect that the other guy understands this. But the others too think alike and in the end, only silence is shared. Avoid this and by all means, you take the so-called initiative, the train/flight/bus journey for the rest of the time will be at least exciting and entertaining, if not enriching. And you might learn something about something. You never know where the wisdom that you need at that point in your life comes from.
