Torch

Go into every room with an agenda item. Accomplish that item.

People have repeatedly told me I accomplish the impossible. I'm not surprised. I'm very strong willed. When I want something, I've almost always found a way to get it.

Unfortunately, that didn't include getting into Kim T's knickers when I was in High School, but that was a long time ago and I've learned a lot since then. In college, I practiced pushing people's buttons finding out what made people tick. It wasn't a conscious thing, but looking back, I can only think the time was one of experimenting on my fellow students and instructors. Like the time I wrote a paper about how to get a girl to ahem... go south, for english 101. That was about pushing the professors buttons. (Yes, she refused to accept the paper, but two semesters later she asked me out one day while I was walking across campus.)

When you go into a room, you should know what you want to get out of it. It could be as simple as meeting one person that can help you later or getting a simple point across. You don't always have to put one out of the ball park so to speak. A bunch of small steps often brings you to the top of a mountain. Will Smith once said, I am building a brick wall. I don't have to build a perfect brick wall today. I just need to lay one fucking perfect brick.

Pick up your brick. It's not as heavy as you think.
