I’ve been reading this amazing book. I’m halfway through the book and i just had to write about it “influence: The Psychology of Persuasion (Collins Business Essentials)” (Robert B. Cialdini) This book will show you the art of influence and how the psychology of persuasion is penetrating our brains subconsciously. You will learn when other people are using these tactics on you, as well as how to utilize these psychology tactics for your own benefits not only in sales environments.

I haven’t shaved in three days..I haven’t accomplished anything significant in past two days. All I have done in past two days is partying and going out and watching movies…

Its a Sunday afternoon and the negative thoughts start creeping in. I start feeling worthless…after all, I was hoping to be finished with “time of your life” and “imagination development” workshops three weeks ago. And I am not even half finished.

Only 8 more hours are left in the day and I need to get loads of work done: getting the flat tire fixed, Go through the time management workshop, workout, dinner, laundry, house-clearning, an inspirational movie, and hopefully, a nice read.

I look at clock, its almost 3 pm..time is ticking, I need to get in the groove.

I get my gym bag ready, and roll out…

I am wearing a track suit that looks like it hasn’t been washed in 2 years…it got creases all over it. On top of that, I am wearing a sweat shirt that is almost too short for me…

To zero it out: My appearance is as appalling as my need for approval seeking.

Before I get to the gym, I stopped by Wallgreens got get a couple of razors..I like to shave right after getting out of steam room..
