"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.

This is bad advice. as long as you go to a good school you’ll always have the following two words available to you: alumni network
Solid school and a degree in a field that's both in demand and has staying power. As of this writing, the most popular majors among most students continues to be psychology and business, despite the former not being especially lucrative to anyone who isn't pursuing a PHD + going to write books and sell courses afterwards, and most undergrads in the later being far too general to be especially attractive to future employers. This, after observers have been pointing out the futility of such choices for decades now

As is so often the case, folks choose what appears to be easy, rather than majoring in say economics or management information systems, then pursuing their MBA afterwards. Ya know, a route that requires one spend less time binge watching the latest Gundam Wing reboot, and more time reading and preparing for exams

"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.

It won't be a matter of time there will a next big World War in the future and by the looks of things, crap might hit the fan sooner than we think. There's talks of a great big black out sooner that can shut down the Internet grid that cause a global catastrophe, it may not happen ten years from now, but maybe due to people's sinful and bad nature, it's only natural that these type of things are going to occur and as some sort of global punishment for relying way too much on technology instead of the natural means of life.
