My barber's two-word answer fixed my interview panic
I was venting about bombing a job interview, and my barber just said 'so what' before asking if I wanted a fade. Something about hearing that from a guy who sees 30 clients a week made me realize I was treating rejection like it was carved in stone, not just a Tuesday occurrence. Anybody else get game-changing advice from someone who was only half-listening?
Went into my barber shop last month crying about a breakup and he just said 'you'll get over it' while trimming my neckline. Honestly that was the wakeup call I needed, like damn this guy's seen a hundred dudes cry over way worse. I've also gotten solid life advice from my dentist mid-drill, which is basically torture with a side of wisdom. Makes you realize we build these huge mountains out of stuff that's just... Tuesday.
