Is That Your First Impression – Day 43

Day 43 of 100 Days of 100 Ways To Rule Your World

IS THAT YOUR FIRST IMPRESSION?

Remember, you only get ONE shot at a First Impression! So you have got to make it the best first impression you can. There is NO second chance there is NO half-assed good first impression. There is ONLY a Good or Bad first impression.

The sooner you accept this fact, the sooner you can start to work on making a good first impression the first time, EVERY TIME!

So how do you go about making a good first impression?

It is quite simple.

  1. Firm and strong handshake. No one likes shaking a wet noodle. Also, don’t overdo it and crush their hand
  2. Smile 🙂
  3. Introduce yourself properly. “Hello, my name is ___________. Nice to meet you.”
  4. Speak loud enough to be heard. NO YELLING!!!
  5. Repeat the person’s name as they tell you.
  6. When you depart say, “It was nice to meet you, “

If you forgot their name, that’s OK. There is no shame in asking for their name again. The shame comes when you DON’T ask.

Do these six things and you will you make a good impression every time. Practice these six steps, always, and you will ALWAYS make an excellent First Impression.

Thank You and my name is David Guerra.

Learn To Strum A Six String – Day 41

Day 41 of 100 Days of 100 Ways To Rule Your World

LEARN TO STRUM A SIX-STRING

Exercising the right side of the brain is something that everyone should always do. The right brain is the one that works the analytical, artistic, and creativity parts of the whole mind. Intuition & Creativity, differentiating shades of color, processing emotional responses, facial recognition, process and interpreting images, and music are all found in the right side of your brain.

One way to keep your mind moving, growing, and always active is to pick up a “beat up six-string from a second hand store” and start strumming. Go make some music. Now I am not saying that you have to learn to be your own “jukebox hero” but I am saying is to learn how to play a musical instrument. My musical instruments of choice are guitar and electric bass. I am not musical genius but I do love getting blisters on my fingers (just kidding) and I do like the noise that comes out of the amps. Heck, sometimes it even sounds like something familiar.

If your instrument of choice is a harmonica or a recorder so be it. Just be sure to go make beautiful music. Make Your Music. Have Fun Now and Your Mind will Thank You for it later.

Thank you,
David Guerra
