Best Thing In Your Life
Falling in love.
Laughing so hard your face hurts.
A hot
shower
A
special glance.
Getting
mail.
Hearing
your favorite song on the radio.
Lying
in bed listening to the rain outside.
Hot
towels out of the dryer.
Finding
the sweater you want is on sale for half price.
Chocolate
milkshake.
A long
distance phone call
A
bubble bath.
Giggling.
A good
conversation.
Laughing at yourself.
Midnight phone calls that last for hours
Running
through sprinklers.
Laughing for absolutely no reason at all.
Having
someone tell you that: you're beautiful.
Laughing at an inside joke.
Friends.
Waking
up and realizing you still have a few hours left to sleep.
Making
new friends or spending time with old ones.
Having
someone play with your hair.
Sweet dreams.
Hot
chocolate.
Swinging on swings.
Watching a good movie cuddled up on a couch with someone you love.
Song
lyrics printed inside your new CD so you can sing along without feeling
stupid.
Getting butterflies in your stomach every time you see that one person.
Making
eye contact with a cute stranger.
Seeing smiles
and hearing laughter from your friends...
Holding hands
with someone you care about.
Running into
an old friend and realizing that some things (good or bad) never change.
Discovering
that love is unconditional and stronger the time.
Hugging the person
you love.
Watching the
expression someone's face as
they open a
much-desired present from you.
Watching the
sunrise.
Getting
out of bed every morning and thanking God for another beautiful day.

How
to Truly Impress A Client.
I was in the airport lounge in Seattle a couple of weeks
ago, in transit.
I had arranged a longer than normal transit stop to be able to meet a very
important client, based in Seattle, who was also flying that day.
It was really only a courtesy meeting, but I was feeling a little nervous, so I sat at the bar and had a quick drink.
While waiting, I noticed Bill Gates sitting comfortably in the corner, also enjoying a drink. Fortified by Dutch courage, I approached the Microsoft chairman, introduced myself, and said, "Mr. Gates, I wonder if you would do me a favor".
"Yes?" He said. "I'm sitting over there," pointing to my seat at the bar, "and I'm waiting for a very important client. Would you be so kind when she arrives as to come walk by and just say, 'Hi, Ray,’”
"Sure.
Why not." I shook his hand and thanked him and went back to my seat.
About ten minutes later, my client arrived. We ordered drinks (her
first, my third) and started to chat.
A couple of minutes later, I felt a tap on my
shoulder. It was Bill Gates.
"Hi, Ray," he said.
I replied, "Fuck off, Gates, I'm in an important meeting."
