When do people decide whether or not theywant to become friends? During their first four minutes together, according toa book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. In his book, "Contact: The first fourminutes", he offers this advice to anyone (46) "Every time you meet someone in asocial situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes. A lot ofpeople's whole lives would change if they did just that. "
You may have noticed that the averageperson does not give his undivided attention to someone he has just met. Hekeeps looking over the other person's shoulder, as if (47) If anyone has ever done this to you, youprobably did not like him very much.
When we are introduced to new people, theauthor suggests, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. Ingeneral, he says, "People like people who like themselves".
On the other hand, we should not make theother person think we are too sure of ourselves. It is important to appearinterested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person has his own needs,fears, and hopes.

That is not the time to complain about one's health orto mention faults one finds in other people.It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions andimpressions.
Much of (49) alsoapplies to relationships with family members and friends. For a husband andwife or a parent and child, problems often arise during their first fourminutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that thesefirst few minutes together be treated with care. If there are unpleasantmatters to be discussed, they should be dealt with later.
The author says that interpersonalrelations should be taught as a required course in every school, along withreading, writing, and mathematics. In his opinion, success in life dependsmainly on (50) That is at least as important as how much weknow.
