"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.

Better to live fast and die young?

Better to burn out than fade away?

Is it true that it’s not so much the number of breaths you take but rather the number of moments that take your breath away that truly determines whether you have lived your life well?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

All the world's a cliche...

True; though does that render the aforementioned cliché’s redundant or merely highlight the truth within such cliché’s?

Paradise (with rain)
Depends on your taste. If you like seeking thrill do that, if you like calming things do that. Do whatever makes you happy. My only sugestion is to go out and try as many things as you can so you can discover what you love.

"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.

Don’t walk around like you own the place, but walk around like you don’t care who does own it.

You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you're going to live.

Polished brass will pass upon more people than rough gold.
