But that just isn’t the case. Waiting for something to ‘be right’ is just an excuse to put off
success. People think if they study my stuff, they’ll learn to pick up women, but that’s
not exactly true. My stuff will give them knowledge, but it’s not until they start applying
that knowledge that they truly learn.
Every excuse you can think of that keeps you from applying knowledge keeps you from
succeeding, or achieving a goal. If NASA had put off testing their rockets until they
perfected the design, we’d still be trying to make it into space!”
Carl looked down at his feet. I could tell I was getting through to him, though he didn’t
like what he was hearing.
“Look,” I said. “I know it’s tough, I know it’s scary. But it will continue to be that way
until you do it. The cool thing is, you don’t need to wait for you to look perfect or have
the perfect car or the perfect house or whatever to get a woman. You just need the will to
try out crazy stuff and see if it works.”
Carl nodded his head and looked at me. “Sunscreen?” he asked.
“Sunscreen,” I nodded.
With that, Carl got up and walked to the girl I had pointed out. He knelt beside her and
said exactly what I told him to. She got up and walked to her bag by a nearby chair and
handed him the bottle.
“Um, I hate to ask this, but would you mind putting some on my back?” he asked.
The girl laughed. “Do you pick up all girls this way?” she joked.
Carl laughed nervously. “Well, you know. Any excuse to give this rock-hard body a rub
down.”
The girl laughed and proceeded to apply suntan lotion to Carl’s back. The entire time, he
was smiling at me with the biggest grin I’d ever seen. I couldn’t help but feel a little
proud.
Carl ended up inviting her to meet for lunch, and she agreed. He came back to me a new
man.
“See, that wasn’t so bad, was it?” I asked.
“I’m so nervous, I think I’m going to throw up,” said Carl, giddy with excitement.
“Well, you’re going to have lunch with a hot girl you met by the pool, and you didn’t
have to lose ten pounds and make an extra fifty grand a year to do it.”
