"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.

Funny Car Sound Question

Ok, just bought an Isuzu Impulse, '90, and had to do a few repairs.

1. Filled in the bottom of the car a bit, as there were some holes from rust.

2. The exterior brakes were finished, so had to get some new ones.

Before, when I drove the car around (from the dealer, to the repair shop, etc.), there were no funny noises, everything was smooth.

However, the car stays in the shop a few days, and whenever I accelerate, from 0 to 20, and a bit higher, it makes this awkward noise, seemingly from the back of the car, but I'm not sure.

I will be doing a few calls, but wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this after repairs, or anything?
 

"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.

excatly the question i was about to ask....

So the sound only happens when you accelerate from 0 to 20 or a little more? i think we need more details. but anyways i would suggest to go to a car forum....theres usually a people who know a lot about cars in those forums. they have honda, mazda, nissan forums from what i know and theres even forums that are dedicated to a specific car....so you might be able to find an isuzu forum.
