And girls, life is not hearts, flowers and love songs in the candle-lit glow of evening sunset. If you want that story line, go cry at a movie and then come back to dirty dishes and soiled diapers. Get it into your head – girls respond to emotion; guys respond to physicality.
Guys just don’t know what a girl means when she says “Do you love me?”
Do not write your life script like this – “They had triumphed over adversity. Joel took her in his strong arms, holding her against his warm chest. She could smell his manliness as the gentle breeze from the garden wafted across the balcony – their balcony. “Joel, never leave me.” “Darling, I’ll always be here for you.”
It’s crap! Sorry, but it is not like that. Write your life from reality.
Don’t think about excuses. Start! Start jotting down what you can do. Now.
I’ll wait.
Remember that bit about helping others get what they want? You need people and you need people skills. This is a big job. It’s essential to your life story. You want to die with a lot of people at your funeral saying nice things about you, so learn people skills.
What are they? Look at somebody who’s got them and learn. It really is putting your self aside and taking an interest in them. Ask them questions. People like to talk about themselves and they’ll like you for asking.
If you want to be rich, hang out with rich kids.
If you want to be a great sportsperson, hang out with the good ones.
If you want to be in sales, hang out with good sales people.
If you want to be a winner with the opposite sex, hang out with the winners.
You get the message.
But don’t be so nice and agreeable that you put your personal life on hold. You’ve got a right to enjoy the riches of life so set about planning that life and be determined to get results. People will always get in your way but just sidestep them. As you become more successful, people will want to help you or hurt you. Recognize which is which.
