"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.

So the top earners make 70% of the money.
2nd make 20%.
3rd makes 8%

and the bottom rung workers make 2%.

The bottom guys do about 40% of the work. 3rd does 20%. 2nd does 15% and the top earners do about 25%

Its the top and 2nd tier that make the decisions and show where the money goes and have the pull over how the rest of the crew works. Doesn't matter though, because there is always a leader, and the leader is getting pissed off.

I don't give a **** anymore. I'm ready to pull out of the top tier, just so I can give all my friends the chance...

I'm ready to pull every string I have in that bar, every family member, friend, and foe to push and pull until things are even. I hate to see so many people *****ing and whining over doing ***** work for months and months in a row getting nothing but dirty hands and sweaty feet for it. I've had a friend die from stress pretty much over the job, while the rest of the staff have the luxury of laughing during his wake.

From tonight on, I refuse to not give those workers their fair share. If they are working minumum wage, so am I, but I refuse to not take anybody down with me. If nobody else works harder than the minimum wagers I refuse to work less than them for more.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Here's a question. What do think is stopping those on the lower rungs from moving up the ladder? Who is actually forcing them to be where they are?

Well, that's very noble and shows alot about your character.
But....

Why aren't these lower earners earning more?
Are they not given the opportunity to work up to a higher tier?
Did you yourself start at the top?

I've always tried to look out for the little guy, but over the years I've began to learn that most of the time it's the little guys' fault that they are the little guys.

I think it's a noble idea.. While you're at it you might form a coalition, or party. Call it national worker's party, or proletarian party. Adopt slogans like PROLETARIANS OF ALL NATIONS, UNITE!, and BROTHERHOOD AND FREEDOM!, and BEACE, LAND, & BREAD!.. Man, you might unite people in the U.S.A. to become equal and wage war against people who don't wish to be equal. Wage war against established government institutions of oppression, forcing people to share and become equal. It's for the greater good if you think about it.

Perhaps one day we could have a great revolution, over throw the white house and their unfair democracy, and institute your ideas of government into place. Hmmm. I wonder what should we call such a system?

America, the greatest country in the world! The land of equality. We are only as strong as our lowest producers! :whistle:
 

"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.

We work for tips, bartenders make crazy cash while busboys make jack all. Wondering how to get the others to share the money without being the only guy to pay out extra.
