\nTechnically you’d save gasoline (Petrol).
\nIn actuality however, it’s a bad decision.
\nAside from wear and tear on your starter motor, you use up a lot of time when the light is<\/strong> green ‘getting ready’.
\nWhen you encounter a situation in life where you cannot make progress you usually stop trying until something comes up or changes and then you try again.
\nAnd that’s why you don’t always get what you want!
\nNever turn the motor off. Even when you apparently cannot make any progress.
\nMany years ago (1967!)<\/em> on my way from one appointment to another I picked up a\u00a0hitchhiker\u00a0(Auto-stop) and gave him my talk. Of course he didn’t join my group, however for some reason, when I did give my talk to someone who could join, they did. And people commented on how ‘high’ my closing rate was.
\nI just never turn my motor off at a red light.<\/p>\n
