《向上社交》内容简介
厉害的人都是擅长向上社交的，因为他们知道一个人要进步，一定要跟比自己更厉害的人交流才会进步。那么，如何去结识这些比自己更厉害的人呢？
首先，让心理和生理都提前进入社交状态，准备好“谈话简历”和“备用故事”，帮你从容开场，变得机智又有魅力。
其次，寻找和优秀的人的相似之处，比如共同的兴趣、话题，可以令对方迅速打开心扉，拉近距离。回答对方的问题时不要只说一两个字，学会用一个故事来表达，能让对方产生更多参与感。你还可以通过询问一些对方无法拒绝的问题引导对方加入你的谈话。
最后，能帮助别人的感觉很好，但也要学会说“不”来保护自己的时间和领地。如果不得已发生冲突，要将情绪问题和情境问题分开处理。这有助于我们进行一场成熟的对话。

"Up Social" content introduction
Powerful people are good at upward socializing, because they know that a person wants to progress, must communicate with people who are more powerful than themselves to progress. So how do you get to know people who are better than you?
First, get your mind and body into the social zone ahead of time, and prepare a "conversation resume" and a "back-up story" to help you get off to a smooth start, be witty and charming.
Secondly, finding similarities with excellent people, such as common interests, topics, can make the other person quickly open their hearts and narrow the distance. Don't just say one or two words when answering a question, learn to express it in a story, which will make the other person feel more involved. You can also lead the other person into the conversation by asking questions they can't refuse.
In the end, it feels good to be able to help others, but also learn to say "no" to protect your time and territory. If conflict is necessary, separate emotional and situational issues. It helps us to have a mature conversation.
