๐๐ผ๐ป'๐ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฆ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ I'm sorry...Oops! I'm not. *Covers face in shame.* Not again. It's been three hours. Three solid hours since Tomi made me send a dollar to her $Near wallet for every time I say 'sorry' unnecessarily. I walked into Tomi's office three hours ago to complain about how everyone around me called me a pushover because I apologized at every chance I got. She listened with rapt attention and suggested the whole 'sending her a dollar' thingy for every time I misused the 'sorry' word with hopes that I learn a lesson or two. Well, it's been three hours and I've already sent out $30 which automatically leaves me with $20 in my wallet. ๐ ๐ฒ: Tomi, it's not working, Iโm almost broke! Do you think I'm a lost cause? ๐ง๐ผ๐บ๐ถ: No my darling, you're not. ๐ ๐ฒ: I'm sorry, but how do I stop? ๐ง๐ผ๐บ๐ถ: You just said sorry again! ๐ ๐ฒ: Oh crap! I really want to stop. (Pauses). I didn't say this earlier but I have a Web3 job interview in seven days and I really don't want to blow this one up like I did the last one. I also recently overheard Edward saying that I'm a pushover and that he doesn't want to be around me anymore. ๐ง๐ผ๐บ๐ถ: Oh, wow! (stares judgingly) So the main reason you want to fix up is because of a man? ๐ ๐ฒ: No no no, it's the job. Plus, I really need to be more confident. I donโt like the fact that people call me a pushover. ๐ง๐ผ๐บ๐ถ: Brilliant! I'm glad that you want to do this for yourself. I'm also glad that you've realized that you need to be more confident. It's just sad the first solution didn't go as planned but don't worry, I gat you. This is not as hard it seems, all you need is to be enlightened. ๐ ๐ฒ: (Confused) What kind of enlightenment? ๐ง๐ผ๐บ๐ถ: Fortune darling, you need to understand that saying sorry is not a bad thing but saying it all the time is not healthy. Beginning any sentence with an apology instantly discredits your authority. You need to learn how to replace apologies with declaration of strength. ๐๐ฃ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐๐ ๐ค๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐จ๐๐ข๐ ๐ค๐ก๐ '๐จ๐ค๐ง๐ง๐ฎ ๐๐ค๐ง ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ง๐ช๐ฅ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐,' ๐๐ค๐ฌ ๐๐๐ค๐ช๐ฉ ๐ ๐๐ค๐ก๐ "๐๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐จ ๐๐ค๐ง ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช๐ง ๐ฅ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐"?I read that in an article I read recently. ๐ ๐ฒ: Uhmmm. This makes a lot of sense. ๐ง๐ผ๐บ๐ถ: You need to own your words and wear your confidence with pride. You wouldnโt want to attend your interview with a pitiful aura, right? ๐ ๐ฒ: No, I donโt want that. ๐ง๐ผ๐บ๐ถ: Thatโs beautiful! Lest I forget, you need to be a part of #SheisNear. ๐ ๐ฒ: Whatโs that? ๐ง๐ผ๐บ๐ถ: @sheisnear23 is a women DAO that focuses on women's empowerment and participation in the ecosystem. You'll really get to learn from women from diverse parts of the world. This would also help in your preparation for your Web3 job interview. ๐ง๐ผ๐บ๐ถ: I'll send you the links to all their socials and also the link to that article.
