After having given one of my co-workers the same "job hack" as the guy who was outright DEMANDING I do EXACTLY THIS, EXACTLY THIS WAY, it got me thinking about the age-old moral. "It is not WHAT you say, but HOW you say it." We all know the sort, the people who just WON'T SHUT UP. Not even for 5 minutes. As incessant chatterboxes tend to be, they tend to be the rude ones. Worse yet if you can hear them from the opposite side of the building. There is good reason WHY customers always complain about them. They only prove "the more you say, the less you have TO say." Well, I have news for you/them. Being the sort who just WON'T SHUT UP does NOT give you any level of authority. Quite the opposite, in fact. Not surprisingly, no-one wants to be around you. No-one wants to be around you. Even if what you are saying actually is correct, or it does actually work, NO-ONE is going to listen if you outright DEMAND they stop doing this, and start doing that. No-one is going to listen to you. Meanwhile, if you are the "you couldn't ask for a nicer guy" sort, better yet if you are ALSO the quiet guy, people actually do and will listen. If you go out of your way to go get the correct tool, then tell them this will make their life SO MUCH EASIER, then give a 10-second guide for why it makes life easier, then tell them "you've got this," they will follow your every word. The same advice for the same job, but two polar-opposite deliveries cause two polar-opposite reactions. Who are are, and how you say it changes how your/if words are accepted. That is what makes all the difference. Don't be the "won't shut up" guy who outright demands. Be the friendly guy who goes out of the way to help. Stay groovy, my friends!

Last year, my uncle passed and when my family was going through his stuff, they gave me this really nice military surplus great coat because it fit me, and really no one else. I was going to have the few moth holes patched and wear it next winter. Yesterday at a family gathering, I learned that it is NOT a military surplus jacket. It was my grandfather's jacket, issued to him when he was sent to Germany during WW2. Not sure if it is appropriate to wear it now. I know it's not a question regarding style, but given this new information, what would you guys do with this jacket, that is a family heirloom and a piece of history?

Just watched a very informational and neat YouTube on JFK's style choices. Channel is EC77 "How JFK Accidentally Created the "Old Money" Aesthetic". Sort of parallels Antonio advice. Give it a look.
