		The thirty-three thieves thought that they thrilled the throne throughout Thursday.
		
		I thought a thought. But the thought I thought Wasn’t the thought I thought I thought. If the thought I thought I thought, Had been the thought I thought, I wouldn’t have thought I thought.
		
		Something in a thirty-acre thermal thicket of thorns and thistles thumped and thundered threatening the three-D thoughts of Matthew the thug – although, theatrically, it was only the thirteen-thousand thistles and thorns through the underneath of his thigh that the thirty-year-old thug thought of that morning.
		
		Thirty-three thousand feathers on a thrushes throat.

Building Rapport

Ask Open-Ended Questions:  Ditch the "yes or no" questions.  Instead, ask questions that prompt elaboration and showcase your genuine interest in the other person's work and experiences. Examples include: "What are you currently working on that excites you the most?" or "What challenges are you facing in your industry?"

Actively Listen and Respond:  Pay close attention to their answers.  Nod, use verbal affirmations like "interesting" or "I see," and ask follow-up questions that demonstrate you're truly engaged.

Find Common Ground:  Look for shared interests, experiences, or industry knowledge. This creates a sense of connection and makes conversation flow more naturally. Mention a mutual colleague, a recent industry trend, or a shared alma mater (if appropriate).

Be a Giver, Not Just a Taker:  Networking is a two-way street. Offer your own insights, share relevant resources, or connect them with someone in your network who might be of value.

Remember Names and Details:  People appreciate being remembered.  Make a conscious effort to memorize names and revisit key points mentioned during the conversation.

Embrace Storytelling:  Weave relatable anecdotes or personal experiences into your conversation to illustrate your points and create a more memorable interaction.

Be Authentic and Positive:   People connect with genuine personalities.   Be yourself, showcase your enthusiasm, and maintain a positive outlook

Follow Up:  Don't let the connection fade. Send a personalized email within 24 hours thanking them for the conversation and mentioning a specific detail you discussed.

Nurture the Relationship:  Stay connected on LinkedIn, send them relevant articles, or offer congratulations on their achievements. This demonstrates your continued interest and builds a stronger bond.

Building Rapport - Episode 75

Je ne vous aime pas, ô blonde Célimène,
Et si vous l’avez cru quelque temps, apprenez
Que nous ne sommes point de ces gens que l’on mène
Avec une lisière et par le bout du nez ;
Je ne vous aime pas… depuis une semaine,
Et je ne sais pourquoi vous vous en étonnez.

Je ne vous aime pas ; vous êtes trop coquette,
Et vos moindres faveurs sont de mauvais aloi ;
Par le droit des yeux noirs, par le droit de conquête,
Il vous faut des amants. (On ne sait trop pourquoi.)
Vous jouez du regard comme d’une raquette ;
Vous en jouez, méchante… et jamais avec moi.

Je ne vous aime pas, et vous aurez beau faire,
Non, madame, jamais je ne vous aimerai.
Vous me plaisez beaucoup ; certes, je vous préfère
À Dorine, à Clarisse, à Lisette, c’est vrai.
Pourtant l’amour n’a rien à voir dans cette affaire,
Et quand il vous plaira, je vous le prouverai.

J’aurais pu vous aimer ; mais, ne vous en déplaise,
Chez moi le sentiment ne tient que par un fil…
Avouons-le, pourtant, quelque chose me pèse :
En ne vous aimant pas, comment donc se fait-il
Que je sois aussi gauche, aussi mal à mon aise
Quand vous me regardez de face ou de profil ?

Je ne vous aime pas, je n’aime rien au monde ;
Je suis de fer, je suis de roc, je suis d’airain.
Shakespeare a dit de vous : « Perfide comme l’onde » ;
Mais moi je n’ai pas peur, car j’ai le pied marin.
Pourtant quand vous parlez, ô ma sirène blonde,
Quand vous parlez, mon cœur bat comme un tambourin.
Je ne vous aime pas, c’est dit, je vous déteste,
Je vous crains comme on craint l’enfer, de peur du feu ;
Comme on craint le typhus, le choléra, la peste,
Je vous hais à la mort, madame ; mais, mon Dieu !
Expliquez-moi pourquoi je pleure, quand je reste
Deux jours sans vous parler et sans vous voir un peu.


I hate you to death Madame, but oh my god!
Explain to me why I cry, when I stay
Two days without talking to you, and without seeing you so much.

LECTURA COMPRENSIVA.

ESTE CUENTO NOS HABLA DE: El último libro. 

En una antigua biblioteca, cuyas paredes estaban cubiertas de libros polvorientos y de lomos desgastados, vivía un bibliotecario solitario. Se decía que el lugar albergaba secretos ancestrales y conocimientos prohibidos, y el bibliotecario era el único custodio de esos misterios.

Una noche, mientras ordenaba los libros, el bibliotecario encontró un tomo antiguo, cuyo lomo estaba adornado con símbolos extraños que brillaban tenuemente en la oscuridad. Intrigado, lo abrió y comenzó a leer. Las palabras eran antiguas y misteriosas, y a medida que avanzaba en la lectura, una sensación de frío se apoderó de él.

El libro hablaba de un ser oscuro que habitaba en las sombras y que se alimentaba del conocimiento humano. Si alguien leía el libro completo, liberaría al ser de su prisión y sumiría al mundo en la oscuridad eterna.

Aterrorizado, el bibliotecario intentó cerrar el libro, pero las páginas se resistían. Las palabras parecían cobrar vida y una voz susurrante le ordenó que continuara leyendo. No pudo hacer nada para detenerse.

Cuando llegó a la última página, un viento helado recorrió la biblioteca y las luces se apagaron. El bibliotecario sintió una presencia maligna a su lado y escuchó una risa macabra. Al día siguiente, la biblioteca estaba vacía y el libro había desaparecido. Los únicos rastros que quedaban eran unas extrañas marcas en las paredes y una sensación de frío que nunca desapareció.
