Everything I ever needed to know, I learned from
Othar Tryggvassen,
Gentleman Adventurer!


1.) When encountering new people, always expect the best of intentions.

Listen
2.) There are no second chances at making a spectacular first impression. Those first few seconds of contact become a benchmark for every subsequent impression you make. Always try to leave an impact.

Listen
3.) Self-confidence is good but surrounding your self with competent assistants can get you farther, faster; and help free up valuable time for relaxation.

Listen
4.) You can't depend on others to invite you to social gatherings You must invite yourself.

Listen
5.) No matter what you think of the person you are speaking with, simple pleasantries like "Excuse me" and "thank you" should never go out of style.

Listen
6.) Insight gained from years of experience is just as valuable to others as it is to you. Always do your best to enlighten those around you.

Listen
7.) Visualizing action is the first step towards accomplishing your goals.

Listen
8.) When encountering an old acquaintance, use their name as early as possible in the conversation. this lets them know that you do, in fact, remember who they are, and can help set a friendly tone for the conversation.
