Fate...
A month ago in my last days in Beijing, I was searching for this big place with a restaurant, a club and a bar. On my way over the area I asked a guy about it and he told me yeah, it's up at the highest floor.
I met him again in the elevator and he said he'll be up at the rooftop club later. The rooftop was designed in a lounge way, and it was very cozy with live music.
He came over to me after half an hour and introduced me to his co-workers and friends. It turns out that he is a store supervisor. I also got thrown into a conversation with 4 Heineken guys that night..
Now I'm back in Beijing and yesterday night was one of my last nights here, so I decided to go out. After a lot of reading I was on my way out from my hotel room but I forgot to put some cologne on. I went back to my room and waited for the elevator.. it opens and guess who was standing there?
It was crazy.. got invited as his guest to his company-dinner. Sat down with a group of 15 people. 2 Italians and 13 Chinese.. pretty interesting...
Now this guy is always on the move. He is always moving, so you can never really have his time. He will say something, then walk away, then come again later, then announce something, then walk away again.. and I meet him in the elevators where he can't get away
lol
No, really.. it's a great skill he has developed. It makes him magnetic. I'm very interested in developing this skill myself. hmm...

1. Do whatever you want.. risk whatever your gut tells you because.. you know you have good intentions.
2. Pressure forms the man.
3. Clarity gives space for better decisions.
