Have you ever had lunch with someone you want to get to know and they spend the whole meal talking about themselves and their accomplishments?
If you are like me, you wanted to learn about their life but you wanted them to learn about yours too. Boasting, bragging or monopolizing in conversation is a relationship killer.
A good test as to whether there is moderation in your conversation is to look to see who has eaten the most food. If your plate is much fuller then your guests, then you are talking too much and asking too few questions.
In the words of John Wayne, "Talk low, talk slow and don't say too much."
