5 Secrets of Invisibility

Being invisible is startlingly easy to achieve. Here are five easy ways to get started:

1. Be short. 5'6" works for me.
2. Wear soft soled shoes. 
3. Dress in a unremarkable fashion. No logos or bright colors.
4. Be polite; this will keep people's backs to you. (they went first)
5. Make no sudden movements.

This will work so well that soon you'll be ready for my next installment: 5 Things to Get People to Notice You.

5 Cognitive Distortions

1. All or Nothing Thinking: You see things in black or white catagories.
2. Overgeneralization: You see a single negative event as a never-ending pattern of defeat.
3. Mental Filter: You pick out a single negative detail and dwell on it exclusively so that your vision of all reality becomes darkened like the drop of ink that discolors the entire beaker of water.
4. Disqualifying the Positive:  You reject positive experience by insisting they "don't count" for some reason or other. In this way you can maintain a negative belief that is contradicted by your everyday experiences.
5. Jumping to Conclusions: You make a negative interpretation even though there are no definte facts that convincingly support your conclusions. e.g. a. Mind Reading and b. The Fortune Teller Error.

5 Things NOT To Do When Giving A Speech At A Wedding

1. It's not about you.

You're not a comedian opening for a band here. We really don't want you to be clever and do 45 minutes of material. Longer is NOT better in this case. Keep it short. UNDER 5 minutes.

2. Thank the parents.

Someone just spent thousands of dollars to throw a party here. Thank them by name.

3. Say something NICE about the bride and groom.

No one wants to hear an embarrassing story here. Just say something nice.

4. No swearing.

I have to say this? Really? Yes I do. Keep it clean. There are children and people in their 80's in the audience.

5. Start drinking AFTER the speech.

Seriously, you're making a fool of yourself.
