Being outgoing is good for your life. More outgoing people like to meet lots of people and they have more fun in life. In fact, being outgoing is not as hard as you think. Even shy people can be outgoing.
At first, you can try to be outgoing in front of your best friends or a group of friends. But the real challenge comes when you meet strangers or new friends. Smile more, and usually they will smile to you, too. In this way, you may have some talks.
Start a talk. Just a simple "Hello! "or" How is it going?" is a good start. If you want to make interesting talks, you should read news in newspapers and prepare your views, or surf the Internet for new information and then keep that in mind.
The easiest way to become more outgoing is to go out. This is also the most important step. Go to a park, beach, club, party or any other place that you think can be fun, and you may make new friends there.

When I was a kid, my parents never let me watch scary movies. At that time, one of my is to watch one.
I remember going to my friend John's house for birthday party, maybe in middle school. the party was over, it was dark. We sat in the living room and talked. "How about the latest scary movie?" someone asked. And said no. Great! My dream came true. I was so .
The movie was not as exciting as I thought. It was terrible. But I want to leave halfway through. I found others were not as scary as me. "No, they will laugh at me, "I thought. So I kept watching. I slept that night. When I went to bed, I couldn't stop thinking the scary things I saw in the movie. Once I any noise, I thought something would break into the house and kill me.
From that time on, I never watched a scary movie again.
It's very important to stay healthy. I have a neighbor. She is an old lady. She can do all the housework, read newspapers and watch TV to learn something new. I often see her do Tai Chi(太极)in the morning and dance in the evening. She is over 70. But she still looks young and beautiful. Last week, a reporter from a magazine interviewed(采访) her. She answered with a smile. She said, "It's quite easy. Keep your mind active. Take an interest in the world around you as often as you can. "
Please tell this story to your family. It would be a good start to follow the lady's example. I hope all people can stay healthy.
