   A conversation I was apart of yesterday is a prime example of why people don't succeed. As my neighbor and I were shooting pool, a model came up to my neighbor to discuss how her career is going. 


   First off, she was the one speaking the whole time. She was talking over my neighbor, just projecting that she isn't getting much work and her agency doesn't send her out anymore. By the time she got up to leave, my neighbor may have slotted in a few sentences. 


   What I picked up on during the one sided conversation was that she never addressed Why she is failing. Only the domino effect the failure was causing.

   Most people perk up when their name is being said. It's one of the first words that are taught to us from birth and one of the essential links to our identity. The psychology on our name spans from relationships to sales. We like it when people call us by our name, because we inherently want to be remembered. But what about conversations people have about you? 


   A study from NCBI called Brain Activation When Hearing One's Own and Others' Names stated, "There is unique brain activation specific to one's own name in relation to the names of others". In sales, you recognize that people are inwardly selfish and respond better when you know their name and let them talk about themselves. So, when a friend or colleague tells you that they were talking about you to someone else, you want to know what they said.

Why I'm Writing This

Hello readers. My name is Brad, it's a pleasure to meet you by way of burning words into your mind. My entire life I have observed the world around me, and it quite confuses me. On a daily basis I stop in my tracks and stare or ponder about why the hell someone or something would do such a thing or be a certain way. I've been told by countless amounts of people that have waltzed through my life to start a journal. Well, I thought I would one up them and share my thoughts with anyone who would care to read these...poor souls. With that being said, thank you for reading if you made it this far, and I hope you enjoy.
