7 . It’s our nature to connect with one another. Here are some tips on how to host an amazing gathering at home.
Hosting can be burdensome. Being clear about your purpose beforehand can ease some of that burden. It can also give guests a clear picture of the event ahead of time, so that they can decide for themselves whether or not to come.
A purpose doesn’t have to be serious.
Think about your guest list
When it comes to deciding the specific people to invite, there can be a lot of anxiety.
For starters, group size matters. It can fundamentally affect people’s behavior, and there’s actual science to it, too.
Connect your guests
Groups are composed of many different identities. Every time any group is getting together, the role of a host is to set up a context, where each person, regardless of their many identities, can find a way in.
A.Put the list in your invitations |
B.Give the gathering a specific purpose |
C.Six to seven is a good size for a really connected conversation |
D.It can be catching up with old friends or celebrating a birthday |
E.It’s all about striking a balance between warmth and amazing food |
F.This is where a clear purpose behind your gathering can help as well |
G.In other words, a good gathering should give everybody a sense of belonging |
It old the woman who answered the phone at the local stable (马厩) that I only wanted to sit on a horse. I didn’t want to go anywhere—no need to sightsee. I just wanted the experience of sitting on a horse. My idea of exercise was turning a page in my favorite book. Therefore, for me, to sit on a horse was a very big deal.
She said I’d have to do it with an instructor alongside. Okay. It was going to be a celebration of my sixty-fifth birthday. I wanted to mark this special day by trying something new.
The next Saturday morning, along with a good friend, who would not laugh but would record the moment of my achievement, I arrived at the stable and went inside. I was nervous—I began to doubt if that was really a good idea.
Nancy, my instructor, teacher and caretaker, walked over to greet me. My adventure-for-the-hour cheerleader stood about five feet tall and nodded to me with a smile that wouldn’t quit. The horse, whose reins (缰绳) she held, was introduced as Lightning. He was gray and looked quite bored.
I thought I could stand on a box and get on the horse. However, I was told to put my left foot in the stirrup (马镫) directly, and I was doing the hop-and-jump step, holding on to the saddle (马鞍). Once, twice, no luck. I was still on the ground. I was wet from tiredness and anxiety. Once again, I was thinking of using a box or even leaving. But Nancy was urging me on. I quickly bargained with myself for another try, and that was going to be it. Later, I could only guess that I must have blacked out because, in a magic moment, I was sitting on the saddle on the third try.
