One meeting can change your life

Published: Thursday, 11 April 2013

Go out and make those connections, meet people, have conversations.

It may land you a dream job.  My friend got an engineering internship in China by playing cards with a kid on a plane!

It may land you funding.  It may get you invited along to a fabulous experience.  Or an invitation to meet someone amazing.  Or it may just give you an idea or insight that gives you a new perspective on your life.
