All the worlds a stage, And all the men and women merely players; People's perceptions can be manipulated. Posture, eye-contact and a relaxed but poised demeanor exudes power; eyes down, shuffling gate and nervous or hesitant demeanor exudes the opposite. As stated before, clothes can make the man. Some people look at your shoes and base their entire opinion on the quality, style and condition of your foot ware. I kid you not.
One important aspect is how others are seen to respect the individual. It rubs off subconsciously I suppose. dj On Thu, Feb 12, 2009 at 8:09 AM, Lonlaz <[email protected]> wrote: > > I dunno, Slip, I can't rule out some sort of aetheric transmission, > but there is a lot a person can glean from seeing a person's face/ > clothes/walk.
