Can you see my eyes changing here? Just I'm changing eyes. And I'm blinking. Now that is two of the worst things to do. First of all, you never change eyes. And what you do is you pick an eye. Now which eye do you pick? I look at with this eye because the camera is there. I look at this eye with your eye there. Which brings my face, you can see. If I look with this eye at that eye, look what you get. You see the difference? But it's the same look. And if I keep blinking, it weakens me. But if I'm talking to you, and I don't blink, and I just keep going, and I don't blink, and I keep on going, and I don't blink, you start to listen to what I'm saying. And it makes me a very strong person, as opposed to someone who is sitting there going, Oh God.
