# So you want to be cool? In 4 easy steps? Being cool is easy, yet so many people struggle to maintain their cool when under pressure from their peers. So what can we do?  *San Pedro, Vinyl Player, Bong* # 1. Try talking to yourself alone at home in the mirror and you'lll notice you're the coolest guy in the room  This technique allows us to observe our body language, speech patterns, maintain eye contact, and compare and contrast the difference between the cool customer in front of you, and the shirvelling mess you are in front of your peers. What causes this divergence in your being? You might think you've lost your confidence. But you'd be surprised to find that confidence doesn't exist. ***"Lack of confidence"*** is a state that people fall into. It happens during negative experiences that train the mind to avoid certain things for fear of the negative experience re-ocurring. As animals we are naturally trained by the positive and negative stimuli we receive from our environment. Confidence doesn't exist, there are only those that are stricken with fear; their brains wired to produce a negative feeling on response to thinking about doing certain things. If you have a stool sit on it while looking at yourself in the mirror and say *"I know what it takes to be cool"* as you strike a cool pose on the stool. **(Stool poses are the most difficult; so once you have mastered this you know you're cool)** # 2. Become a ninja and never get caught farting again  Ninja's are mega cool. And what better way to be cool than to be ready for the possible Mad Max-esque future. Learn to jump over 8 foot walls, swing from trees, scale buildings, perform front, back, and side rolls, mixed martial arts, modernised urban and forest versions of the [ninjutsus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninjutsu). Being a ninja means training ones body, soul, and mind everyday. Eating right, and breathing strong. Know humans, study their societies, cultures, and memetics. Consume their media in all forms of media. Learn to listen with your eyes; when in a group situation watch feet to observe people's interest. Feet never lie; except for when you are ninja. # 3. Use gimmicks  Gimmicks are by far the best way to be cool. Cool hair can be a gimmick, or having a special pose or catch phrase. Gimmicks are must have for all cool people. In simple psychological terms gimmicks make you memorable. Many successful cool people only have several outfits. People remember you for your clothes as much as for that ninja roll you just did! Imagine if Superman didn't fly around in his underwear. No one would remember him. # 4. Be yourself  There is nothing cooler than being yourself. Maybe you are the coolest person on the planet. # Remember! Upvote for upvote. Follow for follow. And please post links to your posts despite how unrelated and tangent it could be. Have a great day! <br> @RiskDebonair **Irish Writer, Poet, & Writer**
