The Atomic Word Of The Day Is: “Impression”

Unforgettable

In every way

And forevermore

That’s how you’ll stay

“Unforgettable”

-lyrics by Nat King Cole

——————————————–

I saw an English guy I knew.

“Hi,” I said.

He looked down at my name tag.

“Hi,” he said.

He didn’t remember me.

Later…

“Hi,” said a woman.

“Hi,” I said as I looked down at her name tag.

“Do you remember me?” she asked.

I didn’t remember her.

NOMAD FEST

Hello from the Bulgarian mountains.

I’m in the ski town of Bansko this month.

What am I doing in a ski town in the winter?

1. Not skiing.
2. Working and relaxing
3. Attending Nomad Fest

What’s Nomad Fest?

It’s a week-long event for digital nomads; i.e. people who work from their laptops while they travel the world.

And this week, I’ll bring you stories from the event, introduce you to some of the interesting people I meet, and of course, teach you some of the most valuable words in the English language through the most effective method in the world – stories.

Here we go!

MEMORY GAPS

This is typical.

You go to an event.

You meet a ton of people.

Some people make an impression on you; some don’t.

You make an impression on other people; on others you don’t.

Someone doesn’t remember you; your ego gets bruised.

You don’t remember someone; their ego gets bruised.

Oh, well.

As we say in English, it comes with the territory.

Translation: You must expect it.

Cheers,

Mr. Vig
