"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

This isn't a great revelation by any means, but I've recently become very bothered with news.

Television news is just a bunch of midwestern prom queens and ex-high school quarterbacks(with a little asian/indian flavor (but never middle eastern)thrown in there for good measure) letting us know about terrible crimes that happen nowhere near us and do not concern us in the least, how we should be paranoid about video games and music, and a bunch of other stuff that reminds the average man that he is a useless ape and lives among other useless apes.

The only sections(of TV and newspaper) that consistently have "good" news in them are the sports and entertainment section. It's like implying that the only people capable of achievement worth noting are millionaire actors and athletes - everyone else is a criminal or should be paranoid about being victimized by one.

Terrible.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I'm sick of people supporting celebrities and making them richer. I'd much rather hear about real news, instead of the Hollywood nonsense that plagues the media outlets.

If you're interested in "intellectual news" (aka. nerd news), try specialist magazines and publications. Many will have 100-page essays on the reasoning behind the growth of decentralization in East Africa or the specifics of Russia's present biological weapons status.

Personally I never read the news. A politician signing some papers in Afghanistan or Albania's 25.13415% growth in the cottage cheese industry doesn't concern me. And frankly, people who read the news just to pretend they're "intellectual" annoy me.

ya.. I stopped watching news.. it was so unproductive.

So what if they are convo topics? I'll prefer to let real people fill me in instead of some electronic image.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
