too, to be part of the action. It was held at a large swimming pool containing many fish, some of which had tags with winning points marked on them. I bought some new fishing tackle made with the latest technology, and although I usually find fishing tedious, because I never seem to catch any, I decided to tax my patience and tackle this challenge in the hope that 1 would win a prize that would be tax free.

After half an hour, my friend had caught three fish but I hadn't caught any. Then I saw a large fish near the edge of the pool and decided to target it to be my prize. My friend said it must either be tame or sick to be moving so slowly, and that in any case, it didn't have anything attached to it for points. I could see he was right, but I wanted to catch at least one fish, so I scooped up my target with a net. It looked so healthy that I had a technician make a special tank so I could tame it at home. Now I can catch a fish whenever I please, but I always use my hands.

Being punctual can be a vice. This view might sound strange to some people, but my viewpoint is that in most cases people are punctual just because it's easier or more convenient for them. They keep time with a view to avoiding possible trouble. Most people prefer to be victims of unpunctual behavior, in view of the negative attitudes others have towards such behavior. Let's view it this way; if one is late, one normally needs to give reasons or excuses. Although it?s unlikely that one's version will be verified, one has to at least make sure his or her voice doesn't vibrate. Otherwise, one will be letting slip information that one doesn't intend to, via one's tone, or choice of words such as verbs or using even tenses. I'm not a veteran in this regard, so I'm still perfecting my skills by watching video tapes. There are dialogues videoed to show people how to make excuses and apologies for being late. Suggestions like having one's blood vessels around the neck covered or avoiding body language like vertical movements of the eyes are also included. So whenever I've got time, I insert a tape into a video to develop greater skill.
