How I did it: During a recent weekend, I downloaded the Ubuntu live cd and tried it out for a few hours. I then jettisoned the cd and installed it proper. Very easy. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I talked to people or interacted with them in a genuine, non-judgemental manner. This opened so many doors that I have met people from every continent (except someone born in Antarctica - though I have met people who have been there).I am not that much of a people person, at least not in the traditional way, but when I am wondering about some question or other, I simply ask the person. People can tell intuitively if you're act… Read how I did it…
How I did it: This happened in Italy.1. Myself and approximately 5 or 6 other people needed a ride home from a concert.2. I don't know the rest of how I did this.

How I did it: After a turbulent period in my life, I was flying from Oregon back home to the east coast. I was penniless and at the outer boundary of my sanity. Suddenly the pilot announced that the Northern Lights were barely visible out the left side of the plane. I charged over and stuck my face near the window. Was I sprawled across someone's lap?

How I did it: You can do this is by reading. It's a lifelong endeavor, and perhaps not something you can even do consciously.You also do this by persuing your natural interests.
