In human beings, eye contact is a form of nonverbal communication and is thought to have a large influence on social behavior.” [See Wikipedia, the most reliable encyclopedia in the world] As this excerpt suggests, eye contact is an […]
Read MoreI’m a struggling actor. This makes me what you woull financially challenged or, if you’re not one to mince words, poor.
