"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.

What do you think of the new James Bond?

I just saw the movie last night and I have to say it was GREAT!! The new bond is pretty good and I definetely liked the more hands on fighting. There were still a lot of guns though. Excellent movie to go see!!
 

"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.

I am a huge Bond fan and I would have to say that this movie sucked. For example, why would the guy who got the money at the end call Bond out of the blue for no reason?

I thought about this one real hard...

And it didn't seem to add up...

The torture scene, just lost me. Totally not the James Bond I know. Funny, yes, but not the suave character of 007.

This movie had far more universal appeal then the others, more emotion to it than just yay kill sex rocketships sharks and, gadgets! Fair warning if you like the bond films for the Q, hes not in this one.

It also seems very out of whack, this supposed to be the "beginning of bond" and there is all this modern day technology in the movie.

It was a good watch, but it's not what you expect from 007

The only problem i had is; i was a little confused at how he found out that that old guy was a double agent.....

Bond realized something was fishy because Mathis knew he and Vesper were out eating. If Mathis wanted to talk, he would have followed along. Moreover, what does Mathis have to hide from Bond? He knew Vesper and him were in it together.

Mathis, was never a double agent, in the books he is a good and longtime friend of Bond. I am pretty certain he is not a double agent in the movie either (although Bond is skeptical). Mathis will return as a reoccurring character like Felix. The plot device served as misdirection from the real double agent.
 

"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.
