(1/20) It doesn't matter what you say as long as you say it confidently.

A confident man eases others' doubts just by showing up.

(2/20) Everybody wants to give advice.
It's ok to listen, but it's not ok to follow advice just to please others.
People are actually good at giving it.
The problem is they have no idea what your circumstances are so it's often irrelevant.

(3/20) Ads are overrated. Trust relationships.
If ads can get you inside the building, relationships will get you to the pent house.

(7/20) Walks are underrated.
Your mind is like a phone and everything you do drains the battery life.
Going out for a walk is like plugging yourself to the nature outlet.
Sage mode, if you will.

(9/20) Speak slow.
The reason you rush is because you think you'll lose people's attention if you don't.

(10/20) Always pay for the first date.

(12/20) A good design goes a long way.
You could still send the message across if you have poor design.
But all things equal, people would rather buy from a nice Power Point than a Word Doc.

(13/20) Fluff and buzzwords are suicide.

Keep your message simple and direct. People respect that.

(14/20) Never assume.

(15/20) Pride and bureaucracy go hand in hand.
Bureaucracy wants to see you do well, as long as they do better.
Be careful about questioning corporate decisions.

(17/20) Ask for help.
Not asking for help will make up for a good story.
The problem is you probably won't do anything worth telling.

(18/20) Learn names.
Humans love being looked at, even though nobody's looking at us.
Learn somebody's name and you'll make them feel important.
99% of people don't so you'll stand out by default.

(19/20) Drawing your own game plan will do more for you than following somebody else's.
