I was at the internet cafe yesterday playing network games with no one. Talk about network gaming. Anyways, it was a Saturday off-peak hour and I wouldn’t expect people crazy enough to be in a network cafe during that time except for me.

An hour has past when a kid came in and started playing DOTA. I invited him if we could team up and play against the artificial intelligence computer; but to my surprise, the kid refused and wanted to play 1 on 1 against me. After some small talk, I learned he was a 9-year old kid who was on his first day of summer vacation.

It has been more than a month since I last blogged here at Milo Riano. I am not gone and neither am I going away; a lot of great things happened which required my attention.

Just over a year ago I was so happy that I was able to see Bill Gates in person.

I was still lying on bed when I heard over the radio that Anna Nicole Smith died. I cleared my head and thought they were just talking about her 20-year old son who died middle of last year; unfortunately it was the 39-year old actress.

I was taken aback by the sudden death of her son and now Anna who is still very young had the same fate.

This year I decided that my top most priority is my health which includes losing a great amount of body fat percentage, strengthen my heart, eat healthy foods, kick away any bad eating habits, etc.

A few years back I read about Larry Ellison, CEO and founder of Oracle, about his emphasis on dressing for success mantra. Substance should be the first and foremost priority in gauging an employee; but presentation is your first blood attack that leaves a lasting impression on people.

The way a person looks greatly contributes to the respect and seriousness of your business.
