"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 went into the Army, got the GI bill, got my BA and some graduate work. After going to work, I made it with decision making ability, common fvckin sense and people skills.

You can be the smartest fvckin guy on the planet, but if you don't have what I said above, you'll be operating a frisbee repair shop for the rest of your life.


Luck? Don't think so.
Golden post of the thread.

Amen 5String.

Not only a millionaire, you are also an inspiration to the younger generation.

It can take more heroic effort for a homeless "bum" on the street to clean himself up and get a steady job in a department store than for a man who had a good childhood with positive role models, health, and a good education to become a millionaire.

We are all dealt a hand in life, and each hand is incredibly unequal. It's what you do with what you've been dealt that counts.

That's why even though I've become very successful according to the world, I don't consider myself any better than the bum on the street. I don't know his story. I don't know what kind of ghastly circumstances made him give up for the time being. I used to look down on people who didn't live up to my own potential, but I found out that everyone's potential is different.

There are some true heroes out there who have pulled themselves out of emotional illness and off the streets and into a cafeteria job, for example. Not many, perhaps, but a few. The luck of the draw can somewhat determine a man's potential, and it is up to each man to improve his station in life the best he can.

The bird born with a broken wing is no less a bird than his peers who soar in the sky, for it may be much more difficult for that bird to attain his worms than for his soaring companions.

Whoa! Hang on a second. Does that mean my burgeoning frisbee repair business isn't the path to millions? ****!

Good question after I think about it! Gimme the symbol and I'll buy a few shares.
