Choose conversation topics appropriate to your setting

Keep the conversation light and pleasant at parties.
Parties are for good fellowship, not for confrontations. Leave tough talk for tougher settings.

Discuss and brainstorm positive topics at the dinner table.
For example, you could discuss your dreams, desires, and designs over dinner with your workmates.

Discuss new ideas with your seniors or professionals while sporting out, make them feel lighter, and in the process of discussing your ideas, you will get your chances doubled.
This is the time when your boss is most relaxed and open to new ideas without any time constraints.
