Great story !!!, the way you approached the answer I think was the right way so you didn´t get in conflict with them, I’m sure you had the right answer from our point of view and I guess was a tricky question but you are really something in front of a crowd, I enjoyed reading you and learning from you, that’s the best.

Dear Bill

It was great trip to you visiting Kuwait and then Bahrain, atleast you have made a little beginning in the GCC, hope you will be successful in the near future.

Dear Bill,
Please tell Cloyd Hyten that Indians eat a number of different green beans as do all Aisians…the long bean, a little longer than a 12 inch ruler is common and tasty but cooked very differently than Americans make them.
I love this story because it has suspense and you are a very good story teller and good at living thru them. Quite a feat in itself.
Also, I like John’s comment about the glass. We always talk about half empty or half full but what about just having the glass. no one thinks about the fact that some people in the world don’t have a glass. Period. What about that perspective? Some are just happy to have a glass no matter how much is in it. Like the curve ball?

Great story.

I liked how you handled the awkward situation and how you showed both professionalism and quick whit. Most of all you did not run from the question but instead answered the question with a question causing the audience to create their own opinion but now looking at it in from a different angle. Changing how one looks at something often changes their perspective. Is the glass have full or half empty? It is still has the same amount of liquid in it, just one is positive and one is negative. We are often taught not to answer a question with a question but in many situations such as when dealing with children this is one of the best ways to get people to think, re think and communicate.

Bill,

Keep them coming- you are a very entertaining writer! Bahrain- that’s pretty exotic. Do they even eat green beans there?

Hello Bill. Great story! Reminded me of the “Cliff Hangers” of long ago movies, which left you wanting more. I’m sure your audiance felt the same. I for one would sure like to hear Part 3.
