Becoming the person we want to be is typically a case of taking action—not once, but over and over again. This is hard to do, particularly within a world that ingeniously inserts technology meant to pull us from those actions that we decided we wanted to adopt. Logically, it makes perfect sense to add a workout five days per week, but life is busy and our emotions will often disagree with these plans.
Do you ever feel misunderstood by others? Maybe you feel that people at work don’t get you. Or that your friends are not on the same page.
Maybe others truly don’t get you. But that’s not because of them, it’s most likely because of your own behavior. I’ll tell you why.
People can only judge their perception of you. And often, there’s a difference between perception and reality, right?
Persuasion and influence revolve around two related questions:
- How does our behavior influence the behavior of others?
- How does other people’s behavior influence our behavior?
Look inwardly. Change your behavior for the better. And always be mindful of how others perceive you. Especially, if you want something from them.
Misunderstandings and conflict are the results of the gap between your perception and how others perceive you. To resolve this, you have to understand why the gap is there in the first place, and then work on closing it.

You can be authentic, unique, and sincere, but your writing has to do one of these three things to succeed.

The Definition of a Mensch:
A person having admirable, noble, or dignified characteristics, such as fortitude, responsibility, and firmness of purpose: "He radiates the kind of fundamental decency that has a name in Yiddish; he's a Mensch." (James Atlas).
A person who is admired, respected, and trusted because of a sense of ethics, fairness, and nobility.
On the surface it seems fairly easy to create a masonry layout with flexbox; all you need to do is set flex-flow to column wrap and voilà, you have a masonry layout. Sort of. The problem with this approach is that it produces a grid with a seemingly shuffled and obscure order. Items will be (unbeknownst to the user) rendered from top to bottom and someone parsing the grid from left to right will read the boxes in a somewhat arbitrary order, for example 1, 3, 6, 2, 4, 7, 8, 5, and so on so forth.
Incorporating three sets of six to eight reps once a week can help keep your hamstrings strong.
Begin in a kneeling position with both ankles secured—tucking your feet under a bar, for example, or having a running buddy hold them down—and then progressively lean forward as slowly as possible while keeping your back straight.

If you want to quickly improve your strength and coordination, almost nothing beats parallettes training. But not many people have a set of p-bars hanging around. In fact most people have never heard of them.
Implied lines are more closely related to the way our minds “see” objects. By understanding implied line and recognizing the approach that should be taken to create them, we can bypass our analytical left brain and create a drawing that is more accurate to what is observed.
Draw the entire scene within a defined picture plane on drawing paper or in your sketchbook, but do not use line. Instead, draw using only value. Allow the contrast that happens between the value, color, or texture create the “lines” in the drawing.

Do you know how you make people feel?
Human beings are silly. We try to act like we’re these super rational people who make decisions based on logic alone, but we couldn’t be further from that. We make many decisions based on how we feel and how other people make us feel.
IF YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU MAKE PEOPLE FEEL, IT’S LIKE YOU'RE WALKING AROUND WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED AND YOUR FINGERS IN YOUR EARS, STOMPING AROUND, GIVING NO FUCKS ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE. NOBODY LIKES THAT GUY. THAT GUY DOESN’T REALIZE WHEN HE’S STOMPING ON A KID’S SANDCASTLE.
