"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.

Please make the link and link:visited colors more distinct. I have to focus to see if I've read a certain thread or not; I'd like to be able to do it without thinking. Make the two colors contrast more.

I suppose it varies depending on your monitor, but on my LCD it's very obvious. I'll check it out on some others.

On both my monitor at work and my monitor at home, the two colors seem very close together. Perhaps bitrot and I both have some sort of color-blindness but I also have difficulty discerning which threads I have visited and which I haven't.
