AUSTIN KLEON

Incomplete stories are filled automatically by the brain, as we have an urge to find meaning in everything. We also tend to believe the simplest explanations. Stories need to be shown a linear cause and effect for the reader to stay interested. If there are too many effects, the effect is lost.

• Nod your understanding and make eye contact with the speaker.
• Ask clarifying questions.
• Maintain body language that shows you are interested.
• Avoid slouching in your chair and looking bored.
• Take notes, but continue to stay focused ...

1. If you keep your eyes and ears open, observe what's going on, and stay curious about everything, you will automatically be in your time.
2. Stay active until the very end.
3. Every day brings something new.
4. Never be afraid to die because you are born to die.
