Best Bench in Town There’s this really cool bench near where I live. It’s this one bench in this big park that is absolutely perfect. The park is kind of a long greenbelt, with this stream running through the center. There are plenty of ducks that hang out in the stream, and […]
Hypnotizing Audiences and Kangaroos
Free Seminar I went to a free seminar a couple weeks ago. It was at a local community center. The seminar was on public speaking, but it didn’t give a lot of information. Some public speaking seminars are on pure techniques, which kind of ignore the public speaking fear that people have. […]
