You're not too old!



A lot of failure before success:

"Not all who wander are lost" - J.R.R. Tolkein

Right before success you will face the worst. Don't give up!

Take Walks, Give Talks


Taking walks helps you
1. Be more creative
2. Stay Healthy
3. Be more productive
4. Communicate Better

How to give persuasive talks:
1. Be audience-centric
2. Understand your role (as mentor)
3. Wrap it in a story
“The speaker needs the audience more than the audience needs the speaker.”
"But my favorite piece of advice isn’t my own — it’s from a guy named Nick Morgan. He said, “What you need to do right before you walk on stage is think of someone that you love dearly.” Doing that, I felt the chemistry in my whole body change. My shoulders relaxed and my heart melted. That feeling of affection makes your body calm itself down. That’s a really great way to stop stage fright."
