"Fine", is what you'd probably answer, if someone asked you this question.
Actually, "fine" is what we say to be polite, no matter HOW we are feeling! We're all taught that. Think about the last hundred times you said or heard, "How are you"? Wasn't the answer usually, "Fine"?
Here's another fun story embodying the principles of NLP by one of our favorite writers, Tom Hoobyar.
Tom's in the process of completing a book deal with a major publisher based largely on the articles he's written for you here – so look forward to a big announcement next year!
