I actually guess I could say I've read it.

There's a little bit left.

And he tells a story that really changed.

I have other examples of it, but it was a good one.

He tells two stories of getting hit in the nose.

Maybe you heard me say this on my podcast.

He got elbowed in the nose twice in the same week.

Same force, same blood, same everything.

One time it hurt like the Dickens.

The other time it didn't hurt.

Same exact fracture.

Sure.

and he was like the first time he was breaking up a fight both times the first time the kid he was pulling off the other kid he hated this kid yeah this kid was a shit a bad student just a smart ass and i'd rub this guy the wrong way he hit him in the nose and it really hurt right the second time it was this sweet kid that he actually had a lot of love and compassion for because he saw that he was kind of picked on and his heart was open to him got elbowed by this kid

That's how fast the brain will build a story.

Right.

Right.

I would say that last 20% is bolstering yourself to the point where you can convince other people of it.

And win debates.

And then, how silly is that?

And I'm guilty of this all the time.
