BLACK COCKTALE

Ever noticed how some people have the ability to captivate absolutely anyone? No matter what they look like or how much money they have, these people can just walk into a room and instantly be the centre of attention. That's charisma

an easy way to make the word charisma understandable is "Sophisticated Confidence" knowing when to speak, and what to say when you speak, knowing when not to speak, and knowing how to carry yourself throughout, this usually takes place with self-discipline, which is acquired with practice

Charisma has it applies to social scene and women involved in the social scene, is all about diplomacy

The first element of charisma is "PRESENCE." Presence, as used here, refers to the quality of commanding respectful attention.

These usually entails dressing in a style considered fashionable & considering your target e.g a way as to impress the women you're targeting. Biker girls like tattooed-up bikers. Thug girls like thug guys. Punk rock girls like punk rock guys, Cowgirls like cowboys, how you walk, body language, a friendly smile, knowing when to speak, and what to say when you speak, knowing when not to speak, and knowing how to carry yourself.

BEARING: The manner in which one carries or conducts oneself it applies to both physical posture and general conduct. The way you carry yourself will often determine how you are treated. If you carry yourself as if you're a person aware of social graces, and if you carry yourself as if you're a person of prestige (you're used to having respect), for the most part you will be regarded in the same fashion. Act like an important person to be treated like one.

MANNER: way of acting or behaving. You put thought into your words and actions - you base what you do and say on how the other person will most likely react. Constantly thinking of reactions as regards your target before altering words. Be witty

A charismatic persona is thought of as being a good conversationalist, among other things, and for you to continue to give off the aura of charisma that you initially gave off with your presence and regal bearing, then you need to be good at conversation

FINESSE: Refinement and delicacy of performance, execution, or artisanship. Suave, Smooth, Finesse, Swag This is how you want to go about your act. You will need to think along these lines when focusing on presence, on bearing, on manner. You shouldn't be able to tell where one ends and the other begins. They should all merge into one, each small bodies coming together to form a smooth liquid unity.

ENIGMA: An action, mode of action, or thing, which cannot be satisfactorily explained.

An air of enigma heightens your presence; it also creates anticipation - everyone will be watching you to see what you do next. Enigma is an interesting element because it carries over into both arts : It is used in Charisma. And It is used in Seduction. So make yourself familiar with enigma. Start practicing it on a daily basis with anyone you're in contact with. Then stand back and watch the results - you'll notice people paying you a lot more attention when you're around. Never make it too clear what you are doing or about to do. Never reveal your intentions.

DIPLOMACY : Tact and skill in dealing with people; subtly skilful handling of a situation involving others. Diplomacy represents a mastery of social skills. In the art of charisma, having it will make you, and not having it will break you. It is the ability to relate with anyone and everyone that you meet on their level. You must change your style and your way of speaking to suit each person and each situation Learn to be sensitive to the other person, listening for what they're really saying.

ALLURE: the power to entice or attract through personal charm. Ah, the last of the elements. It is the essence of charisma. But without the other elements, it would never be reached. When we've mentioned "aura" as a part of charisma, allure is that aura. It is infective. Women and guys alike are drawn in. Suddenly you find yourself surrounded by many friends and girlfriends ("groupies"). And once in your presence (The First Element), it's hard for them to distance themselves - as long as you continue to pay attention to each individual element. For example, diplomacy: When you excel in diplomacy (The Sixth Element), you learn to make others feel better about themselves, becoming a source of pleasure to them. In fact, they grow dependent on your manner (The Third Element) to feel good about themselves. You may call them friends, but psychologically they become your followers. Other people read this - and enigma kicks in and heightens the effect: these other people start to wonder subconsciously: There must be something exceptional ("cool" or "charming") about you that's making people want to be around you. . . What is it? Imaginations start to race.

Benjamin Franklin once said:

"If rascals knew the value of virtue, they would become virtuous out of sheer rascality."

Charisma doesn't happen overnight. It has to be developed. Your goal then is to focus on each individual element, like "Presence" and "Diplomacy", PRACTICING these elements until you have all seven down. Confidence comes in knowing what women respond to. It is up to you then to perfect your skills in charisma with the people around you and eventually charisma will come naturally.

Coppied!!!

Late last week, I was rushing around trying to get some last minute shopping

done. I was stressed out and not thinking very fondly of the Christmas

season right then. It was dark, cold, and wet in the parking lot as I was

loading my car up with gifts that I felt obligated to buy. I noticed that I

was missing a receipt that I might need later. So mumbling under my breath,

I retraced my steps to the mall entrance.

As I was searching the wet pavement for the lost receipt, I heard a quiet

sobbing. The crying was coming from a poorly dressed boy of about 12 years

old. He was short and thin. He had no coat. He was just wearing a ragged

flannel shirt to protect him from the cold night's chill. Oddly enough, he

was holding a hundred dollar bill in his hand. Thinking that he had gotten

lost from his parents, I asked him what was wrong.

He told me his sad story. He said that he came from a large family. He had

three brothers and two sisters. His father had died when he was nine years

old. His mother was poorly educated and worked two full time jobs. She made

very little to support her large family. Nevertheless, she had managed to

save two hundred dollars to buy her children Christmas presents. The young

boy had been dropped off on the way to her second job. He was to use the

money to buy presents for all his siblings and save just enough to take

the bus home.

He had not even entered the mall, when an older boy grabbed one of the

hundred dollar bills and disappeared into the night.

"Why didn't you scream for help?" I asked. The boy said, "I did." "And

nobody came to help you?" I wondered. The boy stared at the sidewalk and

sadly shook his head. "How loud did you scream?" I inquired. The soft-spoken

boy looked up and meekly whispered, "Help me!"

I realized that absolutely no one could have heard that poor boy cry

for help.

So, I grabbed his other hundred and ran to my car.

WHAT A JOKE!!! Please be kind and helpful this Festive season.

This quote, by Roman philosopher Seneca, reminds us that we make our own luck. The difference between lucky and unlucky people, we have seen before, is all in our perspective.

I believe in this statement and that “luck” will come your way more often when you are prepared for multiple situations; reversely “bad luck” will be there when you are not prepared. It’s all a matter of probability.

*opportunity* present itself as luck! It may look like luck... but it's not. It's because of careful planning or could it be vice versa? *luck* presents itself as Opportunity.

Being prepared to take advantage of an opportunity when it presents itself to help you obtain/further your goal. i.e your Luck--> the Opportunity--> Readiness. Many believe luck exists only in the mind of the 'lucky' person while to some, Preparation creates luck.

At first, we consider ourself to be lucky, but then you will that You were more prepared than lucky. The hard work you put into something/activity granted you the opportunity you now consider as luck.

"Unlucky people miss chance opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. They go to parties intent on finding their perfect partner, and so miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through the newspaper determined to find certain job advertisements and, as a result, miss other types of jobs. Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there, rather than just what they are looking for."

"Lucky people generate their own good fortune via four basic principles. They are skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition, create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectations, and adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good."

The question is Do you think it is just "Luck or Preparation"

One of the beautiful things I love about Nigeria is the abundance of natural vegetation especially in the rural settings. It’s like what those in the rural areas lack in terms of luxuries and infrastructures, they gain with the abundance of natural resources which is limited to those in the urban settings.

Most people have got a variety of trees right at the back of their houses. My next door neighbors for example have the pawpaw, Lemon, Scotch bonnet, Mango, Coconut and Avocado trees. To cap it all, they’ve got moringa trees which they actually used as a “fence” for their large country home. The funny thing is, their livestock which feed on these trees occasionally get fatter every day while us humans (mostly ignorant though) look for foreign remedies to ailments whereas what we actually need is closer than we think. I really don’t know how this tree lost its fame but I think it has to do with the fact that science got more experimental leading to its remoteness in nature. But today, the world is being plagued with various degenerating health problems and many concerned scientists are going back in time to employ the natural traditional wisdom used by our forefathers in combating ailments.
