You are missing a few points here.
SPOILER
what makes this show so terrific is it's disregard to tv conventions, in fact it flies in the face of them. How many of us when we saw that 1st shot of the pork pie hat were mentally preparing for kick ass Heisenburg Walt?
Walt's impact of directing Jessie to do the deed forces Jessie to forget the shreds of humanity he has picked up this series. Walt wants purity, he wants the life untouched by the grimness of his association with crime.
Remeber Season 1 Walt was ready to die, Life has become much more precious to him. 'If its between us and him, I'm sorry but its him everytime' He is ready to get rid of Gale (who I developed a liking for) and more tellingly is prepared to sacrifice Jesse's innocence just to stay alive.
Having Walt kill Gale would have been a let down, a nod to conformism in a show that has bucked it at every stepTurning millions into thousands

Originally posted by Opr View PostJust a few random thoughts about your question towards the girl, those are actual events which relates to actual happiness as opposed to a false positive attitude.

Originally posted by The Tourist View Post...what I'm asking is this: are we more likely to ask her out if we are in that good mood and feeling confident?
The point being, if you are thinking positively versus thinking negatively on any given day, do you think this affects confidence for example. Not sure? Then try it and find out.
Originally posted by Mellor View PostNot sure if anybody has the ability to turn on or off a PMA for a day.
Originally posted by Mellor View PostI'll probably be in a good mood all weekend. Might even approach a few of those girls you mentioned.
Originally posted by Mellor View PostYou're missing the point.
I don't know what you are referring to above, but says its a business.
You decided that you were good enough to go it alone (ie were positive), you went for it and were a success.
If you were negative you wouldn't of tried and obvious wouldn't of succeeded.
Agreed do far.
it's the assumption that you success was due to the positive attitude. It's wasn't, you were always good enough to succeed, being positive didn't change that. It just made you try in the first place. The negative version of you would of too had he tried.
You were being realistic in a way.
What about the guy who is positive and fails and ruins his life, a realist wouldn't of done that.
What about when he made mistakes along the way: so be it. Mistake are part of life, not something negative. Was it Richard Branson that said that every mistake he made in business he wrote of as an expensive but ultimately valuable lesson? He did alright!
Being positive is not about saying you can do the impossible tomorrow. At its basic level, being positive is about telling yourself that you are going to do *your* best in *your* life, to do what *you* feel is the *right thing* to do in each situation. When you make mistakes, as we all do, you do not get down on yourself. You take a positive lesson from it. Simple. Dont put pressure on yourself to do xyz. That is not positive either. Its a fine line. No-one can or should tell you exactly how to apply this in your case. Everyone is different. Just do your best, and enjoy your life without negativity as best you can. Why not?
Originally posted by Opr View PostThe second question again relates to the same thing. I mean I feel it would be much more detrimental if I was to stay in a poker game after what you describe in which I have forced a false positive attitude as opposed to actually being able to logically confront what has happened then deal with it constructively and afterward evaluate if I can continue in the game. I am pretty sure tilt has come in the past from me not doing this and playing on with a false PMA.
Opr
You should accept though that some people can stay at the table and play on without it affecting them. With enough practise and dicipline, this is possible for anyone. I can do it sometimes, but usually I have to take a walk. Whatever works for you.
These are all good questions, and shows you are thinking and not blindly following what other people say. Common sense ftw.

The quality of crowd totty in this World Cup has been really poor, probably the worst in living memory.
I don't whether its that the Frauleins,Senoritas and Signorinas haven't travelled in their usual numbers, or that the TV director is on the other bus - but either way theres been very little for the couch potato to leer at.
