A Gossip and Conversationalist

A gossip is one who talks to you about other people. A bore is one who talks to you about himself. And a brilliant conversationalist is one who talks to you about yourself.

– WILLIAM KING

I just read this nice quote from a John C Maxwell book, who attributes it to William King. I think this is certainly true for most people, including yours truly. Regardless whether the original quote was from William King or Lisa Kirk. ;-}

Wikipedia’s William King – disambiguation page listing at least 7 people known as just William King.
Wikiquote’s William King – a stub about the English poet (1663 – 1712) .
ThinkExist’s Gossip Quotes – attributes the same quote to Lisa Kirk (American Actor, 1925-1990).
WisdomHall’s Marketing Quotes – also attributes the same quote to Lisa Kirk.

HTML Table Techniques – by Scott Isaacs. Nice demo of table flow technique. Used in the right aligned quote box above

Not as frequently, as I would like. Other off job interest competes with blogging, unfortunately.
