A little under a year into the start of your career, the company you had dreamed of working for all of eternity lays you off. Fresh out of school, you know you have some major student debt to pay off for at the end of every month. With your family struggling to pay for their own expenses, you can't bear to ask them for any assistance. Your mornings and afternoons are spent submitting your resume to companies you nor your friends have ever heard of. The world seems to be really coming to an end for you. You're not quite certain what the future holds for you. Then all of a sudden at 10pm on Friday, one of your better buddies gives you a ring asking you to come out to one of his friend's birthday party. What do you do?
Let's say for whatever external factors, your life isn't in the perfect state you'd wish it to be in. It’s critical to stay on top of your responsibilities during your own time. True confidence derives from the authority you claim over your life. But if you’re out to socialize, please lose the tissue box and bed covers. Stop criticizing yourself. It’s not the time or place. What are the roles of looks and money in pickup? ZERO FACTOR WHATSOEVER. Your appearance may need to be somewhat presentable. But other than that, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have a pretty boy face or drive a Ferrari. Men don’t get girls by qualifying themselves in these areas, so don’t bother. Assume success in your life and interactions. Consider it as a challenge, a game, a learning experience, and most importantly: an opportunity. You’ll notice an immediate difference in how people perceive you.
