I have recently completed a shyness awareness course and made note of the following. Drinking or drugs do not work in combating shyness – they wear off, cause hangovers and leave you wondering if you've done something stupid because of it. Studies in numerous countries show that people are 40% shy and this fact is growing. Simple deep breathing helps overcome “butterflies in the stomach” or “racing heart beats”. Make eye contact, smile and say hello. Ask a question, introduce yourself and small talk with open-ended questions requiring only yes or no answers – “interesting opinion, tell me more ...” :)

Star Power
Now iron is the weirdest stuff in the universe. There is no nuclear energy available to iron. There is nothing by which it can fight back against gravitational collapse; so gravity collapses it. Gravity crushes it to the density of a mountain squeezed into a one pint milk container. One mountain in a one pint box! And, when it collapses like that, the gravitational energy that is released to other forms, blows the outer portions of the star all over the galaxy. We are the stuff that stars are made of. We stars are everywhere.

How do you feel about dating someone you work with? Have you or would you?
Actually if the relationship developed to marriage, then one of the persons involved would be better off somewhere else. The relationship's assets would be covered if a downsize occurred at either job.

Dramatic Situations
Forms of conflict or foundations of drama and a basis of opinion, can be combined and worked out into new solutions. They might be antiquated but they number at least twelve ( 12 ). Adultery, Crime, Cruelty or Misfortune, Daring Enterprise, Deliverance, Disaster, Erroneous Judgment, Enigma, Madness, Passion, Psychology, Supplication.
Action should be varied contrasting slow with fast story sections together. Beauty is idealism in some degree is necessary to shaping of the photo-play. Comedy can end in marriage and other pleasantries. Drama is the fighting against the hopeless and the drab things of the Earth. Humor should be inclusive as comic relief to tragedy, character-work, amusing section and a touch of human interest with animal or child maintaining a balance avoiding “too serious”. Literature notes the pendulum swings too far in history allowing writers to fall into other extremes. Love lends a vitalizing influence to the whole scheme of things and should not be omitted. Tragedy usually ends in a privative state of health. Truth in art has more to do with the probable than the possible ( Aristotle ).
