(Ha, I don't think I actually learned this one.)<br />Don't mix different types of alcohol...<br />Hang out with different people - you'll learn more than you expect, and you may learn to like them. <br />Only eat with one hand in India and in the Middle East.<br />Flowers work magic in all sorts of persuasion.<br />Don't go back to Russia if the KGB ever had a file on you.<br />Dress as if you respect yourself before you can expect anyone else to respect you.<br />It's totally acceptable to raise your infant child on AC/DC and Ozzy Osbourne.<br />One of the most important tools you can have in any industry is your ability to make connections and turn them into relationships.<br />One of the other most important tools you can have in any industry is passion. Constant burning passion. It can out-burn natural talent.ansinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7894787296999272739.post-66421803874469194392009-08-11T10:40:49.934-07:002009-08-11T10:40:49.934-07:00Haha, this is hilarious!Haha, this is hilarious!Luinaehttp://www.moremagicalways.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7894787296999272739.post-4926134474613839782009-08-11T08:40:12.143-07:002009-08-11T08:40:12.143-07:00This is great.
