I shall learn to appreciate the quietness of morning instead of night. It's a simple trade. Same difference :) Rationale: 1. The early morning has less interruptions, so you are able to accomplish more and especially work on your own projects. 2. You have a "quota" of willpower for each day. Doing important things in the morning ensures you use the max of that willpower for the most important things. 3.

Lesson for the day: Speak the main point briefly, let people ask questions. If they don't, they are not interested- so move on to the next question. Ask about their industry. Not interested or don't know much? Ask something general. Eg, what excites you? What do you do outside work? Don't be "chiong hei". It's not about you. It's about them- what are they interested in? (Just offer enough for them to be able to ask the next question) (From tonight's convo with Ian)
