Study: Body posture affects confidence

The results show how our body posture can affect not only what others think about us, but also how we think about ourselves, said Richard Petty, co-author of the study and professor of psychology at Ohio State University.

"Most of us were taught that sitting up straight gives a good impression to other people," Petty said. "But it turns out that our posture can also affect how we think about ourselves. If you sit up straight, you end up convincing yourself by the posture you're in."

credibility counts

To be persuasive we must be believable; to be believable we must be credible; to be credible we must be truthful.

embracing success

"I love my success... I love that people know me and say hello. Tell me the downside. When people talk about the burdens of success, you want to spit in their fucking face." — Joan Rivers

work without effort

Think of the small as large,
and the few as many.
Confront the difficult
while it is still easy;
accomplish the great task
by a series of small acts.

Act without doing;
work without effort.

-Lao-Tzu, Tao Te Ching
