Hi Oshiro Elham Josney Claire Charles Briana Anu Kevin and all, First of all,wow,nice new colour and picture of our cafe!!! I love it!Thanks,Anu or Briana for your kind effort!:)
Kevin,oh,you have been away for too long,haven't you?;) Welcome back,and please don't be too shy to respond,will you?LOL Thanks a lot,Oshiro,for this 'Talk Less,Listen More' site! I saw the 3 mins video 'Smile & Move' demonstration,too. Their mission statement is quite effective for all walks of life! I have one more useful material for all my students to discuss and practice for a long time!LOL Thank you and Elham for bringing up this interesting topic,too!:) A quick-witted person is one of the millions,I reckon... So far the scientists are still looking for evidence if it's innate or acquired,aren't they? They are as puzzled as coming across the question of how one person has a sense of humour while another doesn't at all...(Twins may five them a hard time,too as one may have and the other doesn't,you see! LOL) However,right here at this cafe,I can say that Lily,Anu,Liu and Oshiro's ex-colleague,Andre are quick-witted to me! It has to come from their ability to filter their past experiences,be it pleasant or painful,common sense and high IQ...;) There are some among comedians like John Cleese and Tom Hanks,CNN Daily Show host,Jon Steward,highly intelligent British singer Morrissey and etc. I don't know if they listen more,but I'm sure they observe more when they listen or talk to you!LOL American Indians have a dream catcher to catch their dreams,and I suppose quick-witted people have theirs to catch other people's thoughts,actions and words in order to form their patterns of reactions.What do you say about that?LOL Anyway,great day to us all!
