Here's a tip for my fellow DREAMers.

When giving a speech, having a casual conversation, or more importantly conducting business, refrain absolutely from using the word "think" it makes you sound insecure, not confident, and unreliable.

Instead, omit the damn word.

"I think the most important takeaway from my speech is that frugality , regardless of how cheap people may think of you to be, you will come out richer in the end..."

Now remove the garbage word "think" and see the difference

"The most important takeaway from my speech is that frugality , regardless of how cheap people may think of you to be, you will come out richer in the end..."

Use WILL instead

"I think the fish and chips with a Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA sound good."

Remove the wishy washy THINK

"I will have the fish and chips with a Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA."


"I think this $100 face wash will be good for that disgusting pizza face you have."
vs
"I know this $100 face wash will be good for that disgusting pizza face you have."


See there you have it. Next time, monitor your speech and when you catch yourself about to say "think" remove that shit.

Another tip from yours truly BestBefore1984. Building confidence of DREAMers around the world. You're welcome in advance.
I think this will help me in the future.

Don't think so lowly of yourself

I, on the other hand, know it will help you in the future.

I think you are hiding your insecurities in a confidence facade.

I will believe it when i see it. repeating something over and over again does not make it real.

If she could whip up votes, she wouldn't have done that 8 hour dog and pony show on heels.

The way I see it is that democrats are avoiding a deal , trump will have to force them. Watch he wants his legacy and limit immigration he will get it.
