That guy at the coffee shop who told me to chill out

I was at this place called Brew & Bean in Denver last Tuesday, totally overwhelmed trying to learn a new skill for work. An older guy at the next table just said "You know, you don't have to master it all today, right?" and walked off. Something about how simple he said it, no lecture, just a fact, stuck with me more than any book or video ever did. Has anyone else had a random stranger drop a line that actually got through to you?

Wait, wait. He just said that and then walked off without waiting for a reply? That's like a movie scene.

Pick up right where @tyler854 left off, because honestly that move was pure dramatic timing. Dude probably rehearsed it in the mirror before coming over here. Now we're all just sitting here waiting for him to come back and finish the story, like a season finale cliffhanger.
