♠ During the business meeting I decided to mention a few things that were on my mind. And of course my colleagues and I had a debate about several of those issues. Of course some of my colleagues were against my ideas and I tried to persuade them to follow my ideas and try to agree with me. One guy over in the corner, I think his name was 홍길동, he kept interrupting me time and time again, so during the coffee break I took him outside. It was a good meeting. And What happened? I persuaded him not to mention anything against my debate again. OK, you didn't beat him? I can't say. He won't be back.

* Let's jump into GMP lifestyle's tips

In a business meeting, if someone wnats to present an idea or give a suggestion, that idea is usually called "motion"

So someone can make a motion

Now if we agree with the motion, you can say "Yes, yes, yes, I second the motion"

Now in a meeting very often when you want to agree or disagree, yes or no, you might use these words "aye or nay" instead of "yes or no"

If you don't decide that the your opinion ,you can't decide your own opinion, you're fused to make any comment, then it's called "abstain, abstain from saying anything"

 During the business meeting I decided to mention a few things there were on my mind.

 And of course my colleagues and I had a debate about several those issues.

 Of course some of my colleagues were against my ideas and I tried to persuade them to follow my ideas and try to agree with me.

One guy  over in the corner , I think his name was Hong Gil Dong, he kept interrupting me time and time again.

So during the coffee break I took him outside. It was good meeting.

Arthur he does as he pleases

all of his life his master's toy

and deep in his heart he's just, he's just a boy

living his life one day at a time,

showing himself a pretty good time

laughing about the way they want him to be
