"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I cracked my rib at thai boxing about 5 days ago and today it feels a little better but still a bit sore when i stretch my hand above my head. Is it ok to go to the gym and workout with this injury - please advise.
 

"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.

No. Wait, give your ribs a week to recuporate.

I advise you to call your doctor and ask.

No you didnt crack it, trust me you didnt, you would not ask this question if you did, cause you have one of two things and I have had them both on the ribs and they hurt really really bad either a bone bruise or torn/damaged rib cartlidge, but nothing like a cracked one does and if you got an x-ray and its cracked I would be completely amazed. When I had the bone bruise it took about a week maybe to heal cause it wasnt to deep and it sounds like thats what you have but a little worse than mine. Or torn rib cartlidge took me about 4 weeks to heal, or more really, but thats cause I played football with it. But I only played football with it taked 3 extra strength ibuprofen per day, otherwise when I wastn on it I could literally hardly breath without wincing. My dad as well as a friend had a cracked rib, and they had to lay right and could not leave bed for about 2 weeks cause would hurt it and they were about to cry just laying there.
