Day 10: The Presentation

Woooo! Welcome to the show everyone!,
Day 10 is finally here! Thats like... A lucky penny or somethin! :) Lol. Just playin. So, here's the dealio... Tomorrow I have the opportunity to FINALLY get a face book. I talked my mom into giving me a chance to earn one. All I have to do is work my butt off tomorrow to help her get all the stuff shes going to sell labeled ready for her store. It's a lot more work than it sounds like... But you all (by now) know that when an opportunity presents itself I'm always going to nab it. This one is huge and one I AM NOT going to lose. The promo from FB is huge and can REALLY help me out. I'm super excited! Lol. Also, I just finished getting my set lists (non official) set for my upcomming shows. I can't tell you what they are though, its a secret! Mwahahahaaa! The tickets for the Sunshine Studios gig will be for sale sometime by next friday. (my friend, julian, is delivering the tickets to me by then). And remember, their only 6 dollars as long as you buy them from me BEFORE the show. After that the price is raised at the door. So get them cheap while you can!... Ok.. So, lets get down to business now. As you saw, I labeled this blog "The Presentation". This is because I've noticed that presentation is much more than just acting in front of a crowd on stage, or doing a power point in a meeting... Presentation is what others view you from. Your window, if you will... And how a person presents themself determines what people will think of them. For example, when I go to a job interview, my presentation WILL have an effect on wether or not I get the job or not. Thats obvious. But! Here's the issue: A lot of people, especially teens that I see, seem to care less about how they present themselves. Not just how they look or dress, but how they present themselves via voice and language. Why is it that our/my generation isn't seeing why this is EXACTLY why we, as a group, aren't trusted? Simply said, It's ruining our rep, and setting a bad example for the following generations. So many people seem to agree that changing the way they present themselves makes them "fake", or "not who they really are". I can see how that would seem resonable... But if you think about it... Do you think Donald Trump got where he's at by NOT thinking about how he presented himself to others? OF COARSE he thought about it. :). Lol. He knew that he IS who he makes himself to be. So, he took the time to practice the attributes that would get him somewhere... Before he knew it, those same attributes he had to "act out" soon became HABIT and something that became the real him. And look at now. So look at it this way, Your not "fake" if you make it a part of you and turn it into a habit. Try it out. Start small. Lets say you sag your pants for example. Pull them up for a week or two and see just how more "on top of things" you'll feel and the comments you get. Say your a little shy... Present yourself as a confident person and say hi to a couple new (random) people for a week. Have a small convo, and keep it up till you're comfy with it. Then play with it a little bit, and be who you want to be. That person inside, who you know people will want to look up to. Let it shine, even if it is a little out of your comfort zone. Before you know it, it pays off, and becomes a habit. Try making a habit of exploring the dictionary for a cool, new, word of the day. Everyday. And then use it all day long. :). Try starting ur own little fundraiser and pretend it's your personal business. How would YOU run it? It's hard at times to keep up with it to make it a habit, but with a little self motivation, and knowing this will make you successful will keep you workin at it. Heck, try it with a friend... The possibilities are endless. Think about it... Haha. Well, I have to go. Thank you for stopping by. :) And remember, Anything Is Possible. :D
Till next time,
