^^^ That's another good point altogether. Being a good storyteller. Sometimes people don't have the best story but they know how to say it and hold people's attention. The actual art of storytelling is something I need work on and I'm not sure how to improve it.
I think that is my problem too. The truth is I already have a lot of the life experiences suggested above, but I still don't feel like I have interesting stories. Maybe it's the way I tell them. I can feel myself losing people as I speak.
I used to belong to Toastmasters years ago (great place to go if you need to come out of your shell) and I may join again so I can work on the Storytelling manual: http://www.toastmasters.org/226K
