In some cultures it is considered rude to look a person directly in the eye; in others it is rude not to.

After listening to you on “The Truth About Business, Power & Survival” especially the perspective that “Nigeria Should Structure Corruption” I have to say, that was one of the most brutally honest and thought-provoking conversations I’ve heard in a while.
@BrGloba01 For one week, notice the negative thoughts without judging them (“I’m worthless” → “I’m having the thought that I’m worthless”). Write them down.
