2、 letter. Proactive Strategies to Build a Social Life A) A lot of people believe that developing a social life is something that should just happen and develop naturally, without you needing to do anything. I disagree. I think that while this can happen for some folks, in certain stages of their

3、life, it’s not always the case, which is why many of us today lack a fulfilling social life. If you’re in college where you get to hang around lots of other people and you’re naturally a social person, your social circle will develop on its own. But if you’re an accountant working in cubicle all day

4、 and you’re kind of shy and don’t go out much, your social life may be seriously deficient. B) In my view, building a social life requires the same active and strategic approach that making money or building a career requires. The approach is based on setting goals and acting on them. Coming from

5、 this angle, I want to show you some proactive (積極主動(dòng)的) strategies to build a social life. C) A fulfilling social life looks differently for different people. Some of us need lots of friends and a large social circle. Some of us are more fond of having just a few friends, but who are very close to

6、 us. And some prefer a mix of the two. What is your preference? Do you know? Take some time to think about this and visualize what your ideal social circle would look like. D) Another aspect to think about is what kind of people you want in your social circle. Do you prefer people who are artisti

7、c, or people who are tech-oriented? People who are outdoorsy or prefer to be indoors? Usually, you will get along best with individuals who are similar to you. So I advise you to consider your dominant traits and consciously decide which of these traits are important for you to find in others. If yo

8、u know what kind of people you want in your life, you’re much more likely to find them. E) Once you know how many and what kind of friends you’re looking for, it’s time to take action in order to meet them. This may seem obvious, but it’s something many of us ignore: If you just wait for others t

9、o come to you, you’ll never build a social circle. You must have the initiative and go to them. F) My recommendation here is to think about activities where you are likely to meet people you’d enjoy interacting with, and get involved in a few of them. For instance, you may take a class on a topic

10、 you’re interested in. You may volunteer for a charity organization or join some sort of club. Even if you don’t have any friends whatsoever at this point, you can apply this strategy. You can get involved in such activities all by yourself, and you’ll meet others there. G) In using this strategy

11、, the Internet is your friend. You can discover all sorts of classes, social events, clubs and organizations near you online. But keep in mind that this is only the first step. Then you need to actually get out of the house, go there and participate. H) So you attend a training program on, let’s

12、say, urban photography. There are lots of other people there. What do you do? In general, the passive approach tends to prevail. Many of us just sit around doing nothing and expect others to come talk to us, ask us questions, and be chatty. And this may happen, or it may not. One thing I’m certain o

13、f, though, is that it’s not the best approach. You want to be friendly first. Be the one to break the ice. I) Walk up to other people and introduce yourself to them. Then start chatting with them. For example, ask them how they found out about the event, how long they’ve been interested in urban

14、photography, change from there into other topics, and if they seem to enjoy talking to you (which they almost always will), keep the conversation going. Doing this may not be easy at first, especially if you’re not used to being this outgoing, but it’s something you get used to with practice. The tr

15、ick is not to let hesitancy prevent you from being social. And I can tell from experience that if you are social and friendly with new people first, they’ll love you for it. J) If you’re building a new social life from scratch, the beginning is always the hardest part. However, once you’ve met a

16、few people, it gets a lot easier because you can then make use of them to meet even more people. You can then meet some of their friends and acquaintances, and expand your social circle further. K) Again, a proactive approach works miracles. Let your friends know that you’re interested in meeting

17、 new people and you’d love to be introduced to other people they know. If they indeed are your friends, they’ll love to help you out. They may invite you to come with them to parties they go to, they may call other people to join you when you go out, and they’ll introduce you to new people. But you

18、have to let them know their help is desired. L) The best part is that the bigger your social circle becomes, the easier it is to employ this strategy. Your social life will expand faster and faster, and you’ll find it progressively easier to find people you match well with. M) Your social life

19、 is completely in your hands. You can have a social life as rich, connected and diverse as you want. All you need is to do a bit of smart planning in this area, and take massive action. There is certainly no shortage of possibilities to meet people and make friends. It’s up to you to capitalize on t

20、hem. Good luck! 1) You will meet some people you would like to interact with when you take part in some activities.???F?? 2) People’s ideas of a satisfying social life vary from person to person.???C?? 3) You can enlarge your social circle by taking advantage of your current friends.???J?? 4)

22、n building a social life and building a career is that they both require using some methods and strategies actively.???B?? 7) It’s not easy to be outgoing and sociable among the people you don’t know, but you’ll be used to it with practice.???I?? 8) It will be helpful in building your ideal soci

23、al circle if you know your major characteristics and personality.???D?? 9) Many people often ignore that they should go to find friends actively and not simply wait for others to come to them.???E?? 10) Suppose you participate in a training program, you are advised to be friendly and break the s
