问题     Mom was right stand up straight, brush your hair and quit running around.
    Those rules may have seemed annoying, but it turns out they make all the difference in the way people perceive you. Actions don’t just speak louder than words—they can completely drown them out. And slouching or moving too fast through the office can make you look like an underling, according to body language experts.
    There’s much more that your body can convey. In fact, 55% of what you communicate is said through your body language and facial expression, according to one study. Knowing how to send the right message can help you succeed in work and in love.
    To be seen as powerful and confident on the job, the rules are clear: Always stand up straight and offer a solid handshake. Also, walk fast hut not too fast. Slow walkers appear to be less ambitious, while those who walk too speedily arc clearly subordinates, says Kevin Hogan, author of The Secret Language of Business. Those who walk with efficiency look like leaders.
    Both sexes can soften up a little when they leave the workplace. In an amorous setting, men can round their posture and should bend a little, so that their eyes meet their dates’ at the same level. Eye contact is key to showing another person that you’re listening, but there is a right way and a wrong way to do it. Train your eyes on the other person’s "golden triangle", the area between the eyes and the tip of the nose. But avoid staring directly into someone’s pupils—it can come off as creepy.
    In both business and pleasure, first impressions are crucial. For a first meeting, the best way to get on a person’s good side is to literally stand on their right-hand side. "If a guy comes up and talks to a girl on her left side, he’s already lost the battle," says Hogan. Because of the way the brain works, over 90% of the population those who are right handed—view people who stand on their right more favorably than those who stand on their left.
    A great way to build up another person’s comfort is to mimic his or her movements. If your date takes a sip of wine, do the same several seconds later. If your boss crosses her legs, cross yours too. Mirroring is something "we instinctively do when we are attracted; we just don’t notice," says Gregory Hartley, author of Get People to Do What You Want. But whether we’re doing it unconsciously or on purpose, it will have the same effect.
