? How to make people shun you and laugh at you behind your back

•  If you want to know how to make people shun you and laugh at you behind your back and even despise you,  here is the recipe: Never listen to anyone for long. Talk incessantly about yourself. If you have an idea while the other person is talking, don't wait for him or her to finish: bust right in and interrupt in the middle of a sentence.

• Remember that the people you are talking to are a hundred times more interested in themselves and their wants and problems than they are in you and your problems.

A person's toothache means more to that person than a famine in China which kills a million people.
A boil on one's neck interests one more than forty earthquakes in Africa.

• So be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves.
