Good Afternoon To All!

I found this article as a retweet on David Allen's blog today. It is totally funny, but I only picked out my favorite of the "Ten Tricks to Appear Smart During Meetings." You should definitely take the time to read the full article. It will provide the last bit of "umpf" that you need to finish out your week.

5. Repeat the last thing the engineer said, but very very slowly
Make a mental note of the engineer in the room. Remember his name. He’ll be quiet throughout most of the meeting, but when his moment comes everything out of his mouth will spring from a place of unknowable brilliance. After he utters these divine words, chime in with, “Let me just repeat that,” and repeat exactly what he just said, but very, very slowly. Now, his brilliance has been transferred to you. People will look back on the meeting and mistakenly attribute the intelligent statement to you.
