Question on Quora? How does reading affect social skills?







 At eighteen, I was on a temporary vacation at a reformatory in upstate N.Y. for stealing cars.
With lots of cell time, I found the library and books. Honestly, I was thrown out of the 9th grade at 16, and the fourth grade twice, and maybe never had read a book?

My first book, The Mysterious Island ( author Jules Verne ), and wow a whole new world has opened! I needed a dictionary to

understand the words.

Ok, in my 2-year vacation I read 150 books, and now writing here.
Fast forward to the early eighties, I was introduced to talk radio, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, and they always talked about great books.

Then in 2003, I was introduced to Toastmasters and public speaking.
Now my reading was 1000% better, and the kid with no education was going to start teaching public speaking to children.
So now the 9th-grade dropout was going to take his message to the youth of America ( www.youthspeakingtoamerica.zohosites.com) stay in school and read, it will change your life!

Is learning social skills difficult, and does it take a long time? What are the most appropriate steps to learn to communicate? Does critical thinking have a role in social communication?

Question from Quora Interesting question, I am not sure critical thinking is essential in the role of an excellent social communicator? Let's turn that around and agree to be an extraordinary social communicator, you should be good at public speaking. Interestingly some I believe are born with that talent, or learn excellent social communication from a mentor, parent or possibly a nanny a very young age. My recommendation is to search out a Toastmasters club, Toastmasters International -Home ( Toastmasters International -Home ) is found in around 140 countries. Find a club that meets weekly, to improve public speaking and social communication skills, you need commitment and practice as often as possible. Create a FREE listing at www.weebewclub.com

SBF & FTX CON GAME

  The truth hurts, but Sam Bankman Fried SBF, conned millions. It`s interesting how we just experienced another election tainted with fraud. I ask how did the 30 million $$ donation by SBF of stolen money affected America in the election. Will the Republicans have the balls to dig into this cover-up by the dems and media, because their golden boy played them all? It`s my opinion we have a fraudulent president because of the cover-up of the Biden story, emails, and laptop,/before the last election. Will we have another cover-up, when will the American people be tired of corruption by politicians? Are you ready to give up your 1 st Amendment rights? If we allow the Central Banks and governments to force CBDC`s on us we will lose all control of our money and lives. (  Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is a new form of money that exists only in digital form. Instead of printing money, the central bank issues widely accessible digital coins so that digital transactions and trans...
