"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.

im cool with everyone in my workplace...

Anyways i was about to head out to lunch today with my friend at work, until my co-worker asks if i could get her a bottle of water. since the store was downstairs, i say sure and gives me a $1.

The telemarketer next to her said "you're so humble"

I think this was the first time anyone has ever called me humble.
What should i make of this? did it mean i was some kind of "nice guy"?

maybe if i had less of a friendly attitude in the office, i could avoid someone asking for a favor in the future...

i had a guy tell me at work the ladies at the front counter said

" he is a light touch "

i am not old so i had to ask him ( he is in his 40's ) wtf that means

he said it means you are a push over

this is a few years ago now


BUT I GAVE THAT LADY SO MUCH $HIT FROM THAT DAY FORWARD


be nice to women at work and they think you are weak

shows they cant shake their genetic makeup and the DJ rules still aplly

which means if they can't shake their programming in order to be a professional in the workplace and think like a man

THEY BELONG BACK IN THE KITCHEN RAISING THE KIDS

the way it is supposed to be :)


to all the captain save a h0s

GET THAT UP YA !

If you wanted her to pay you back, just ask "Can you pay me back (insert next day you both work here)?" before saying yes next time.

If you did it out of the kindness of your heart and if it was conveniant to you, then its fine. If you did it to please her then your homo.

Also she damn well better have shown gratitude towards you. If she didnt i hope you responded accordingly.
 

"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.

Humble is usually a good thing. It means you have the potential to be arrogant, but you aren't.
