"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.

I can't believe people actually debate this. Of course your parents affect your personality.

For example I find that one of my parents can be quite negative, and I've picked up that trait. And they are kind of anti-social, which may have influenced me as well.
How bout you?

You should watch my buddies speech on this video. It sounds like his parents were definately not the Brady Bunch type.
