James Salter was a pilot in the United States Air Force. He abandoned the military profession in 1957 after the publication of his first novel, The Hunters. He is best known as a novelist, but during the sixties and seventies, he worked in film making. Salter made documentaries, wrote texts for films, and even was the director of a film called Three, starring Charlotte Rampling and Sam Waterston.
In Passionate Falsehoods, which was adapted from Salter’s book Burning the Days, published in The New Yorker in 1997. Salter tells the story of his life in film. Salter’s time in the film world is both good and bad. In Rome, he met directors and stars. In New York, he explored the city with Robert Redford and enjoyed being famous. Deborah Treisman, and Michael Agger have talked about Salter.
Nick Paumgarten in The Last Book, describes Salter’s opinion about his film career: “Of sixteen texts for movies, only four were popular. There was money, attractive women, and entrance into rooms where there were stories more for the dinner table than for the page”. Salter thought he was eating his time.

Effective communication Experts point to the fact that almost 85% percent of our success in life is due to our communication skills. That means that no matter how brilliant, how responsible, or how highly educated someone is, they still have a low possibility of success unless they develop the right communication skills. The good news is that anyone can develop good communication skills. And it’s encouraging to know that even small improvements in your ability to connect with others will have a deep effect on the quality of your life and business. Don’t concentrate too much on what you’re going to say next as your conversation partner is talking. Instead, listen to every word they say and reply as properly and smoothly as possible. This shows people that you are interested in what they have to say and you are fully engaged in the moment with them. Also, make sure to ask questions whenever there’s something they say that you don’t quite understand. This will help correct any mistake in the communication. Effective communication requires a set of skills including body language, eye contact, engaged listening, managing stress in the moment, the ability to communicate confidently, and to recognize and understand your own emotions and those of the person you’re communicating with. It is the connection that helps you solve problems, improve teamwork, and make decisions. It allows you to transfer even negative or difficult messages without creating disagreement. These abilities will open up new opportunities that would not have been available otherwise. Besides, you will make people feel more confident to express their thoughts.
