Eyes first. Then ears. Then face. Then mouth. Watch, listen, ask the right question, let your face respond, and only then speak. Most of us run it backwards.
My superpower has always been observation. I suspected it. I now know it.
The walk and the shoes
I can tell a lot from how a man walks and the shoes he chose. Not the price. The choice. Whether they suit his day, his age and where he is going.
I watch how people move and navigate life, and I know they watch me. Done well, observation is tiring. Most of my energy goes on it.
Why it matters more now
I believe observation will matter more in the years ahead. Listening has always mattered, and it is disappearing fast. A man who watches and listens properly will stand out without trying.
