"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.

I don't consider that an option at this point. I only make $25k a year so its either get my own place or pay for school. I consider school a better option since it will lead me to a career.

Am I the only one who feels that there's a problem that most college educated people nowadays have had fifteen years of education or more and are relegated to entry level positions so they go back to school and get deeper in debt and graduate in hopes of getting a position that is still entry level?


Ever wonder why the contemporary nouveau riche are people who dropped out of school in order to run their own business since it was a better return on investment?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I look at it from the perspective of short term pain for long term gain.

At this point in my life, I look at it as a transition period and explain it to the girls that i see.

Generally, the ones in college don't even think twice about it. Most people understand because they have been there at some point in their lives.

If you can move out, then do (even if roommates are involved). If you can't, then make the place more livable.
