Your first words explained: TED talks

this will take 20 minutes out of your day.

this deserves your time

know more than the person next to you. you don't have to share your sources. tell other people these things when the moment works. nobody likes a know-it-all. until they are wrong.

then you're friends make fun of you. totally worth it.

our cyber monday comes to us in 2005 from this article at shop.org
