Another tear on the road to success

This day was different. I looked up and noticed a lady sitting in the seat opposite me. She was non-desript, small, blond hair whose colour came out of a bottle.

And I was sure she was travelling to meet and surpass another rung.

The law of spatial proximity in Lifts

Try this when you next get into a lift with one other person. As you get in, make sure you stand as close as possible to the other person.

This phenomenon is what I call the “Law of Spatial Proximity in Lifts”.
