One thing I do without realising is I look at my watch while trying to stall, avoid, or getting bored up while engaging in a conversation.
It is fine if I look at my watch, for it signifies punctuality. But it's NOT fine if I still check the time even when I'm not wearing a watch! In this case, I'm checking my wrist.
In certain seasons of the year, long-sleeves apparel may help mitigate the embarrassment caused by the "watch-less time check". But since summer is on the way, it is pretty hard to check the "sleeves camouflaged imaginary timepiece" and not catch heat strokes at the same time.
So, if I wanna avoid this unpleasant body language that might result to offending others? Gotta be mindful on wearing watches, all the time.

Catch Me If You Can
If Frank Abagnale can be a pilot, doctor, lawyer, and teaching assistant without the right qualifications, I, with full qualifications can SURELY get a job as an engineer.
I just need to 'tailor' my resume and cover letter to make it a little more 'persuasive'.
According to my resume, I persuaded my client to adopt a new approach, spearheaded by me, created a CMMS database, which successfully increased production by 80%.
The trick is to never include the specific time, date, location, etc.

Here's a post about the Pedometer I received as my Bday gift.
But first! What's a Pedometer?
Pedometer is of Europe and Greek origins and can be derived in two parts, Pedo and Meter.
Pedo - is the study of children behavior and development. 18th century Europe origins.
Meter - is from the Greek metron (μέτρον), "a measure".
In short, a pedometer is a device to detect or "measure", the proximity of incoming younglings.
Here's an image of a Pedo-meter,
Before and after Wushu, with 8791 steps....
Not bad at all... :)
