Introduce yourself
I truly believe that everything that we do and
everyone that we meet is put in our path for a reason. There are no
coincidences in life, there are no accidents; everyone has an opportunity to
learn something from someone if you take the time to listen and pay attention.
Trust your instincts and don’t be afraid to take risks. You can’t spend your
day waiting for something to happen if you don’t take the initiative and start
introducing yourself to people.
