The thing that jumped out at me from this article was the public speaking bit. That is something I find I really need to work on. Even something as simple as a presentation in class is really hard for me and leaves me quite frazzled. For those of you who have experienced my presentations, it can be quite amusing. Hopefully I will be able to utilize these tips to help me in the future.
I can relate most of the things he discussed in the article, especially writing an quick contact e-mail or make your business card pretty and sexy. It's always about the details. But I didn't like how he phrased things in the article, like "I always keep fresh image" or "don't spend your time in reading celeb magazines."
This is a problem with a lot of people. They don't like their jobs and they don't want to be there. If you don't like your job, you'll hate your life a lot more. Dreading life is a terrible thing. If more people were more open to their jobs or did what they loved it would be a happier world. That's why we do theater and it is totally summerised by the thoughts about making meetings and just work in gerneral a positive experience.
