Free Always Eat Left Handed: 15 Surprisingly Simple Secrets of Success by Rohit Bhargava Page B

    The one important part I didn’t share about my story of project management was that the Senior Producer I asked for help actually gave me more than just advice.  She shared her own template and method for managing projects and helped me to create my own.  She gave me a model to follow and it made all the difference for how I was able to succeed in that job. 
    That’s what this book aims to offer for you – a series of ideas as templates.
    The 15 tips you will read in the book are based on real experiences and stories.  They offer lessons that can help with some of those “micro-problems” … or even with the bigger challenges you may face on a daily basis.  Most of all, they are meant to be highly practical and non-obvious. 
    As you’ll see throughout this book – my aim is to deliver the lessons through storytelling, and to avoid writing longer when shorter passages get the point across.  This book should be a quick read – but hopefully one that offers you some useful insights in exchange for the time you’ve chosen to spend reading it. 
    Let’s get started!

Chapter 1 - Play The Cello
    Lesson - Acquire "Useless" Knowledge
    Some time ago I was in the audience of a production of Shakespeare’s 12 th Night produced by the Folger Shakespeare Theater, one of the most famous Shakespearean theaters in the world.  The play is a love story gone wrong – the tale of a young shipwrecked woman named Viola who must pretend to be a man to get work as a servant and then accidentally falls in love with the man she serves, a music loving Duke named Orsino. 
    The play’s most famous line, “if music be the food of love, play on” – describes the passion Orsino has for music, and also the inspiration for the music-filled production I watched that day.  The show had a live keyboard player, banjo, guitar, drums and singing.  Yet one of the most interesting moments came about halfway through the show, at a crucial moment in the plot.
    The character of Viola enters, sits on a chair in the middle of the stage and starts playing the cello as the love triangle of the story plays out on stage. It was the sort of moment that happens often when it comes to the world of the arts.  Characters are created around the skills and personalities of the actors who play them. 
    Emily Trask, the actress who played Viola, was also a trained cellist.  She has studied dance, can swing from a trapeze and knows how to yodel.  You could easily argue that none of these are really critical to becoming an actress.  In a logical sense, each is a fairly useless skill. 
    Yet when it came to landing the coveted part of Viola in this renowned production of 12 th Night at the Folger, acting experience was only the beginning.  The story of Emily Trask is an example of how acquiring useless knowledge can actually be very useful . 
    Playing the cello changes everything.

A Man Of Curiosity     
    Steve Jobs is famous for many things.  When he passed away, the tributes to his legacy of products and ideas seemed never-ending.  They praised his vision, and his presentation skills, and his ability to simplify big technical challenges.  What most people didn’t talk about was his ability to acquire useless knowledge. 
    Like when he dropped out of college and decided to take a
