“Never bend your head, hold your head up
high. Look the world straight in the eye.”
Helen Keller
What good does it do to slink around with your tail between your legs
looking at the floor? Squirming in your seat looking away. Engage.
Look the other person straight in the eye. Make eye contact. Connect.
Keep eye contact. What do you think the other person is thinking when
they are talking to you, and you are looking down at the floor or off in
the distance? You are scared. Weak. Untrustworthy. Spineless. Stand
tall. Be resolute. You are not meaning to intimidate, that is not it, but
engage, listen, connect. Listening with your eyes. When we talk to our
kids and they do something wrong, they look at the floor, or avert eye
contact. Hold your head up high and look the world straight in the eye.
