  • Personality, presence and confidence

    Natural self confidence, but NOT an arrogant selfish confidence.

    Some people naturally have confidence and presence and some people need to build it as a skill.

    I know guys and gals with little to no knowledge or skill build up careers because they just knew how to talk and connect to people.

    I also know guys and gals with years of education and degrees but have little to no way of politely or easily getting along with people.

    It’s no wonder our prehistoric ancestors went wandering around hooting, hollering, randomly screaming and yelling all the time. They kept hearing all these voices from the future asking them questions like “why is my life bad”, “how do I make her love me”, “how do we find the vietcong”, “why is America fighting this war”, “will putin start nuclear war”, “when will Jesus return” …

    It’s the subtle difference between a JUSTICE system and a LEGAL system.

    One aims to maintain law and order in society in a fair and equal way regardless of one’s status or situation.

    The other is a system gamed to benefit the richest and wealthiest individuals to get away with everything.








  • I grew up in a very unorganized town that wasn’t really regulated with traffic laws. I learned to drive a truck at about 12.

    When I was 14 I was driving my dad’s truck around town. I suddenly had the urge to see how well the brakes worked. I drove fast down a gravel road than slammed on the brakes as hard as I could. Within seconds it blew both front brake lines.

    Later that same year in the winter I got the truck stuck on some ice. It wasn’t bad, I just happened to stop on a very slippery patch of ice and couldn’t move forward. I got the idea that as the tires spun, they were getting hot which meant it was melting the ice. If I did it long enough I would eventually get down to the gravel. I got impatient and spun the wheels faster smoking them like crazy while the engine roared. In the middle of the noise and smoke, a tire exploded and the truck jumped and deflated. I had blown out a tire.

    Dad wasn’t happy with me for a long while because the truck went to the shop and we had to pay a lot of money to get them fixed.

    At the very least, I never made these mistakes again.
