Am I the only one?

To…Be Grateful. ...

Anand Patel

Anand Patel

By Anand Patel

We’ve all been there before:  You’re at an important meeting and asked a question that you just can’t seem to formulate the perfect answer to on the spot. But, 30 minutes later, on your way home as you replay the meeting in your mind you come up with numerous things you wish you had said earlier.  Now you are kicking ...
