When attending presentations, I seem to have one of two reactions. One is to become very drowsy. This is clearly a bad reaction. The other is to become fidgety. I suppose this is a bad thing from, too, but, at least in my case, I think it’s a good sign. Usually, the reason I become fidgety during presentations is because I feel inspired; such presentations make me want to go out and do something, not simply sit there. That’s a good presentation. So if you ever see me fidgeting during one of your presentations, take it as a compliment.
