About This Quote

We all know that we can make ourselves look taller by standing up straight and putting our shoulders back. This is called “posturing” and it can give us a better impression to others. However, if we exaggerate the effect by standing with our legs crossed and sticking out our chest, we end up looking like we are dead. I'm not dead" is a very clever way to get people to realize that you are alive and well.
