I was always shy while communicating with girls in my childhood. And until my entry of the middle school, it didn’t change a little. Still am I shy now, may you ask?
Certainly not. It just turn better after I join in the senior middle school. Then I caught a story about an shy man who got over it till his fifty years old.
A funny moment of enlightenment happened to him then. You see, as a male, it has always been difficult for him to relate to women. Call it a plague between the two sexes, but that connection has been a lifelong struggle.
Many different relationships, people, and experiences have found their way into his life and, with these encounters, an assorted lot of characters and ideas for stories floated through his brain.
When the time was finally right, he decided to let the fingers do the talking. It has always been fun to have what he believed to be a strong command of the English language, but he was no whiz kid out of college. For that matter, he didn’t have any connections to the major publishing houses either.
However he decided to sit down and write a book.
At any rate, you might ask how made him relate to women better. This is where an unexpected consequence worked in his favor.
The topics of the book that frustrate a lot of Americans were rushing through his mind. Everyone is a little upset with the daily obstacles that normal life brings these days.
An issue such as the disparity that occurs in our country’s judicial system, and the attorneys who come with it, can leave some of us feeling helpless. There is also the problem of political corruption. How many Americans are totally disgusted with our politician, lobbyists, and members of our law enforcement?
Let’s not forget our system of taxation, which at last count indicated that at least forty-one different taxes were in force on the taxpayers of the United States. Forty-one! Is there any wonder that corporations and people alike are filing for bankruptcy at record numbers?
There are also health and lifestyle issues that affect Americans. How about all of the single moms and the increasing number of broken homes that there are in this country? What is in store for the next generation with an overwhelming number of stressed, unhealthy, overextended parents?
We could go even further and talk about discrimination and greed. How about the ridiculous golden parachutes, bonuses, and perks that are granted to the executives of corporate America? These men and women are the ones who are responsible for the unheard of bailout that will come at the expense of the American citizens. How can we productively vent our frustration towards their mismanagement?
The first novel was meant to be written for the guys. The setting is a fictitious golf course high atop the Mississippi river bluffs on the east side of St. Louis. Oddly enough, women have become my biggest fans.
Even though many of the characters are male and the common activity is golf, the topics of my books hit home to the everyday people in this country regardless of gender.
So, in my relationship efforts with women, it was the voice coming from my fingers and not my lips that has allowed for me to connect better with the opposite sex. Who was it who said that it’s better to keep your mouth closed and have people think you’re stupid than open it and confirm it?
After all he figured out a way to connect with the opposite sex …
I do what I like as him, and finally there are more and more topics to talk about. And gradually, I get better in communicating with females.
I wish you lucky like us!!!
