How to be Smarter: If someone gives you a contact and you reach out to that contact and something good happens, you must follow up with the connector and let them know the outcome. The connector will feel good knowing you took their advice, and you will not come off as rude for taking advantage of their help and not following back up with them.
How to be Prettier: For an updated spin on the locket, I used this site to submit a picture of someone I love, had them laser the image onto a tiny gold charm, and then strung it on a thin gold chain to hang around my neck.
How to be (less) Awkward: On trains and buses, I like it when people ask to sit next to me. I always say yes, but the fact that they ask makes me like them a whole lot more. I imagine this is the same for most other people, too.
Brilliant as usual. I adore the quotation as well.
Wonderful quote! Your Smarter is really applicable to me right now.
I really like the (Less) Awkward advice today, I like it when people ask too, it just seems more polite.
