"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.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

Why did you have to go and bother even saying that? What he did was his business. Do yourself a favor and don't critizize people without even knowing how to back up your critizizm, and Ignorance.

Ok, thanks. I think that I get it now. Don't bother what others do, it's their business. If I feel the need to say something, think before it is said.
