"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Yeah, the 50 Cent movie from last year, or was it the year before? Anyway, when it came out, I heard it got bad reviews, so I never bothered seeing it.

So I randomly caught it on one of the HBO channels last weekend. It was great!

I think 50 Cent acted pretty good...what the heck were they talking about? In fact, he acted better than a lot of professional actors I've seen. And overall, I think the movie really showed how having strong desire and passion for something, and really working hard can help you achieve success.

Sure, it was violent. Sure, 50 Cent is really not a great rapper (but a great marketer)...but he is definitely an example of someone who has turned their life around and also an example of someone who is successful financially.

Whether or not the movie was based on lots of truth or not much, whether or not he was really shot 9 times...I still think it was a good movie. I'm not a big fan of 50 Cent (or much of a fan at all, other than maybe 1-2 songs), but the movie really was motivating in some aspects.

That's why I recommend it for anyone who feels they have a strong desire or intention that they want to follow. Nothing is impossible.

I give it a 7/10.
 

"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 did get bad reviews but don't ever listen to movie critics. people have different tastes, and i've liked alot of movies that got the worst reviews and didn't enjoy some movies that got great reviews (ie. 300...)

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

movie critics are failed actors themselves so who cares what they think.

What are the movies you like? Maybe you just have poor taste in movies?

I watched the movie too, and it was cool to see someone overcome failure and make it to the top!
