The pose of the head is powerful and can be used instead of words to impress others.

Mere lifting of the head upward, holding it up, and easily balancing it, gives the impression of adding another inch or two to the height of the individual. This increases the impression of life and vitality. This impression of life and vitality, created in the other person's mind, is not limited to impressions of physical power. The mentality of the individual and his character are judged by this indication of virility.

What is your impression of the man, whose shoulders droop, whose head hangs forward or to one side? How different it is from your impression of another individual who stands erect, with head up, accentuating the life-line of the body, and the strength of mind and virility of character.

If the pose of your head limits your efforts by giving others a poor impression of you, change it. Practice before a mirror. Make your practice conscious and discriminative. Continue the practice until-with a book on your head-you are able to walk about your room without the book slipping off. Continue this practice until you can carry a book thus, without feeling stiff and tensed when doing it. Then, the pose of your head will be erect, and your carriage easy.

If you have limitations of form, features, or bearing, overcome them, not only by thinking of what you want to be, but by action.

To more truly impress others, make your facial features express and communicate your cheer and joy, and your fellow feeling for others.

To develop yourself, carry your body, and your head, in such a way that their activities react on the brain centers, and produce actual changes in your brain.

By such practice, your desire and your effort become permanent and habitual, so that you appear at ease even when you are making a conscious effort to convey a true impression of yourself.

Superiority is suggested by action.

To give others the best impression of yourself, your activity, your energy, your endurance, train your body to the erect, upright posture so that it will always tell the truth not only about your character, but of your proposition as well.

You never can succeed in leading others unless you make them feel that you are superior. If you say it in words, others will call you a bluff or a conceited fool. There is a better way. Every man of power easily balances his head on his shoulders and holds his head well. The habitually uplifted head gives an impression of superiority which no man in the world can withstand.
