"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.

Remember who you are.

I walk around and see so many people... so many people so unhappy.

We are here because we were once unhappy. We sought to change our case and it worked. We are now happy. Unfortunatly, we are a minority. For you too should walk around and you will see many people... so many people unhappy.

My friend moved to another country and he was asking me over AIM for some help with his chick. Well, obviously he didn't listen and it screwed him over. He then came back to me and said "What do I do now?" . I informed him that if he had listened to me, he would be fine. He replied "ok I'm sorry, I ****ed up. Now what do I do for tomorrow?" I then asked "The same thing that happened today... because nothing has changed."

That is the situation of this world my friends. People who proclaim that they screwed up but are not willing to do anything about it... and they are perpetually unhappy.

It's the most unhappy people who most fear change. ~Mignon McLaughlin

Some times, even we get unhappy. We are afterall only human. But we do not stay forever unhappy. We correct whatever went wrong to live a happier life. Sometimes, we forget about everything we have learned and all we have been through and just get caught up in the moment and feel our joy fade away. And that is why I tell you now to remember who you are.

We are the DJs of this world. We are the privileged people of this world. You all goto school and you all have access to a computer with internet. You are also the people trying to make the world a better place by helping other people. The great philosophers of the 18th century developped the encyclopedia. Can you possibly imagine how much work that must have been? All that work.. all the effort put into one cause... Making people more intelligent.

Am I to be given credit for being intelligent? Would I be here if my parents hadn't had a ton of money? Would I be as 'great' as I am if my parents weren't who they are? Would I have come this far.... alone? No.

Because of the philosophers ladies and gentlemen, because of them we are who we are today. Because one day they shaped the world and made it a better place. They once achieved freedom... the only true freedom, the freedom of thought. From that freedom flow all the others and so they tried to give it to us. They wanted us to become free. We are no closer today to achieving that goal than back then. We are the DJs of this world because we, like them, broke free. And we all had the brilliant idea to spread the wealth. But it didn't work.

AFCs do not turn to the DJ way when you show them the light. When they are down and ask your help, they do not hear it. They are not ready to change and so can not be changed. They don't want to help themselves so nothing you do or say is going to change that.

Knowing is not enough, you must apply. Willing is not enough, you must do.
And that is what we did. That is what we worked so hard for and got so far for. We have written our own little legacies that only few can see and even fewer can read. We were given a head start on the others but that distance is insignificant to the distance currently between us and them. That is why I must ask you why you must suffer for them. Why must you go out of your way for them. Why they cause you emotional damage. If you are a professional soccer player, it is wrong for a amateur to play on your team and **** up the cup winning shot. You wouldn't let him. You couldn't let him. Not after you worked so hard, you and your team mates, to get so far just to have it ripped out of your hands by incompetance.

It is my belief that for 95% of the population (of the US, based on experience and a limited number of people. It could and probably applies elsewhere) the answer to a mistake is "I ****ed up". Nothing more. If they got a D on their math test and said "I ****ed up" and then had to take the same one the next day, what would they get?

It is not in these people that I place my happiness or my trust. Or my respect. Look at how they fail and give up. Look at how they cry over the weather. Look at their happiness drain out like a like water in the toilet bowl. And that is what their happiness is mixed with! SH*T!

Don Juan, you are better than that. You have the knowledge and the understanding to be succesful. You have the tools. And they were not handed to you. You built those tools. You went through hell, you made sweat drop out of every pore to get to where you are. You deserve better than what they have.. and so you have it.

The next time you are down or unhappy, remember what you have been through. Remember what you did when you last had trouble. Remember how far you have come and how great you have become! Remember... Who you are!

"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.

YES! Thank you, Lik. That is a major thing that seperates us DJs from the rest of the world. We don't live in blindness, making the same mistakes over and over. We learn from our mistakes and become better men for it. This is so poignant because it applies perfectly to the situation I am in.

Thank you again. Rock on, brah.

I'm just a beginner, but I've already realised how true this is. Most people get unhappy so easily over the dumbest things...
