智力激励会议（09:00 AM）
Care to Join in on a Brainstorming Session
Burson-Marsteller has a “brainstorming” room that has wide windows and a great view.
But unfortunately, this room is not for us to rest or chat in.
It’s a place where everybody has to be prepared to “debate” and “create ideas.”
Today, I had two exhausting, yet interesting, brainstorming sessions.
In addition, I had two cups of coffee, eight pieces of chocolate, and a handful of snacks to keep myself alert and focused!
It’s strange that I actually talk a lot and present many ideas during the meetings as I normally don’t enjoy talking too much.
During the first meeting, we were finally able to come up with a couple of brilliant PR ideas for our client’s product launch in the U.S..
I love PR because it requires both logical thinking and creativity.
I just hope that I will eat less next time.
TRANS
博雅公关公司有个“智力激励”会议室，那里有宽大的窗户，可以看到优美的景色。
不幸的是，这个会议室不是给职员休息或聊天的。
在这里，每个人都要随时准备“讨论”和“提出创意”。
今天开了两场有点累人但很有意思的智力激励会议。
为了集中精力，我喝了两杯咖啡，吃了8 块巧克力和少量饼干。
令人惊讶的是，我平时不喜欢说话，但是一开会话就变多，也想出了很多方案。
开第一次会议时，我们为美国客户找到了绝佳的公关方案。
公关需要逻辑性思维和创新能力，这是我喜欢它的理由。
希望下次开会时不要吃这么多。
