"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.

Everyone I guess knows about Sochi by now, I'm 1.5 hours away from it in a small town, doing computer repairs, my own business. I come across here too often, notebooks that a computer repair place told need a motherboard replacement or CPU replacement. I take them apart, and take apart cooler, and discover dust between fan and radiator, and remove it, then I also get rid of thick layer of thermal paste, and everything reassemble, usually they work after this.

So an idea bulb just went up in the my head! Why should I repair these notebooks and prove to myself mostly that I am so ****ing awesome? Why not give a commercial and say that I buy broken notebooks? Repair them, and sell them, and make 10 times more than just on repairs?

I'm a ****ing genius! I'm gonna make a million with this!
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

This idea has a right for life, but the main problem is a competition - I'm sure that not only you can offers such services. Maybe you should check how you can be successful if you provide these services as a business.

I did this for a while in my old city. It's a good side gig for extra cash. PM me to set up a Skype meeting if you want details on common issues and how to get the word out there.

Anyone can do what I do, yes. Problem is they are lazy, and I'm assuming use compressed air to blow the radiator from dust, which results in compressing dust in between fan and radiator. I take that notebook apart, replace thermal paste, disassemble cooler assembly, remove dust, install, then remove and make sure it contacts at all places, and then reassemble and check with FurMark and AIDA64.

If cooling system is clogged or has old thermal paste, eventually notebook overheats, either video or south bridge, resin causes a short, or the chips just loose contact. I can repair that by finding and removing the short, or reballing the chip -- for which I am now buying a rework station with heat gun and preheat.

Friend, we added each other, and I just don't see you online. What time you're on usually?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

This is really interesting explanation. I hope you'll succeed with your start-up.
