Always Eat Left Handed: 15 Surprisingly Simple Secrets of Success (8 page)

As with any aggregated group of suggestions for personal development, there are really two things that make the biggest difference for whether they will be useful for you.  The first is technique and the second is mindset.  I can share the techniques with you … and tried my best to do that over the course of this ebook.

The mindset part is up to you.  So take these lessons and use them to inspire you to make small changes and to appreciate small moments.  Use them to remember the power in unexpected choices. 

Most of all, remember to always eat left handed!

Note to International Readers

Thanks for downloading and reading this book!  As you might already know, eating with the left hand is considered taboo or unacceptable in many countries.  In India, where I was born, this is certainly the case ... which presents the ultimate irony when you consider the title of this book. 

My intention, as you have no doubt seen by now, was to make a point about the value of being approachable and how eating left handed managed to help me do that in my business interactions at networking events.  You need to adapt that idea to your local culture based on what will work for you.  It is the same with any of the other suggestions as well.  

Ultimately, the value of this book will come less from following any kind of direct step by step guide - and more from your dedication to using the ideas you'll find in this ebook as a spark to inspire yourself to think differently.

The good news is, that's a spark that works no matter what country you are from.
