Today, a few extracts from Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami...
Yep, I like his work.

"Memory is a funny thing. When I was in the scene I hardly paid it any attention. I never stopped to think of it as something that would make a lasting impression, certainly never imagined that 18 years later I would recall it in such detail."

"...a rare talent for finding the interesting parts of someone's generally uninteresting comments so that, while speaking to him, you felt you were an exceptionally interesting person with an exceptionally interesting life."

People like that is really appreciated and liked by all. Unfortunately, I'm not somebody likewise although I desperately wish so. It would definitely make things easier and a great difference to me. Since I have but a rather weird personality in me that others see in their eyes, their very impression of me.

First impression is important. It pays a lot to ruin other's first impression of you, yourself.

Thus to myself - smile more often dear...
