"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I work as a caregiver right now helping old people use the bathroom at night, getting dirty wiping as$. I see them everyday walking slow, getting up in bed then going back where they will sleep for another 2 hours. They'll wake up for breakfast and have a caregiver dress them up. They watch t.v. and lay on their bed 18 hours a day.

It doesn't matter to anyone what you've done with your life whether you had a degree or not.

Time is GOLD remember that. Everything you do in every second of everyday, your time is paying for it. You are trading time for everything that you do. You always have a choice what to do with your time. You can even kill yourself right now if you wanted to. That's called CHOICE! life is full of choices. I'm a caregiver right now and I chose that. I want to move on from here and I will. You chose to be where you are right now and you can always choose what to do next.

And remember what I told you about all the old people that i take care of? Yes you will be on the bed in your room lonely 24 hours a day! Don't sit down, don't sleep too much, don't be on the television or online too much save it for later. Anything you want to do you can do it now man! Every thing's been done. Boxer, Actor, Singer, Doctor, Teacher, Pilot, a certified HVAC and the list goes on. Every little thing that you thought was impossible is POSSIBLE you just need to change your beliefs about yourself. It's about what you want remember that. That's what happiness is all about! Try to do something that you don't want and compare that to doing something that you want. That's called FREEDOM. That's called DREAM! Your dream is something you WANT! Don't ever stop pursuing your dream! Always find a way. If you can't do it going up, try going down, try every last option and make one if you have to. Be a high achiever and have the mind of one. Aim higher than the stars! Have the power of will, the persistence, the discipline to work when you want to work and to work even if you don't want to work.

Forget the money you wasted and forget getting the degree if it's not something you really want to do and STOP comparing yourself to other people. STOP comparing yourself to other people! Am I richer than you? maybe not but am I richer to someone who sleeps under a bridge maybe so. The point is it's nothing unless you compare it to something. The more you compare yourself to other people the more you'll hurt yourself. Forget how much your cousin earns. Worry about yourself. He doesn't care about how much you make.

If there's one thing you should always remember is that you always have a choice. It's up to you what you want to eat, what you want to drink, what kind of job you want to have, what kind of car you want to drive, where you want to live, in a room or under a bridge, all in all what you want to do with your life is up to you. You can even do drugs like my brother if you wanted to. That's your choice. Now look at your life and where you are right now. Close your eyes and make a choice how you want to live your life!~

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
