“Good posture is far more important than many of us realize⟳. If your posture is already good, you are likely to gain⟳ better initial respect⟳ from your students than if you are a slumper or if your posture tends to be rigidly erect. This is a matter⟳ that you can do something about with a little conscious effort.”

“Are you a humper or a slumper?”

“Is there a real difference to the way people sit⟳? Ask⟳ a woman who has been sitting at her desk all day. The expression on her face⟳ will be answer⟳ enough. A look⟳ of pain or discomfort means she’s probably a slumper. If she smiles and shrugs, then the lady most likely sits comfortably tall.”
