What effect do you have?

Have you ever heard the term "effective," for example, a catchy phrase or word?
Well, every phrase and word has an effect, because even if they don't provoke any stimulation, they still have an effect, such as disinterest or boredom.

On this site, you've read countless posts discussing the importance of reading, referring to the fact that the more words and expressions you learn, the more efficiently and effectively you communicate.

You've surely noticed that the new generations of young people, including children, show a total disinterest in adults. This happens because everything they find on their smartphones is more captivating and interesting than what a normal person can display, unless they're looking at Ronaldo or the latest pop star.

So how can we learn to have an effect on others?
The answer is always the same: learn to communicate well by talking about the other person's interests. And if you're not interested in their interests, you're either in the wrong relational context, or you have to adapt, as is the case with children, trying to see through their eyes.

We always have an effect on others, it's up to us to decide what that effect is.
