Let's talk about grabbing opportunities

Cafes had been synonymous with work space the past few years and it has become common to see them packed with people banging away on their laptops. But creativity demands moving away from the norm. So, I work at a bar. Well, though it technically is a bar, it doesn't get hopping until 8pm. It used to open at dinnertime, but has recently begun serving lunch. And from lunchtime until 6pm, you get to enjoy an almost-deserted space with soft cafe music, ambient lighting, and really fast internet (bartender told me they turn off the internet at dinnertime). Now, that's what you call grabbing opportunities. -Lyra Articles you shouldn't miss [Taiwan can be the next innovation hub in Asia, with deep tech as its main driving force]( by [Lyra Reyes]( [Taizo Son’s Mistletoe leads US$3.5M funding in venture investment platform Hatcher+]( by [Sainul Abudheen K]( [e27 discussions, do you care about your personal data?]( by [Kevin McSpadden]( [Captain's Log: China's Airbnb raises US$300M, JD.com launches luxury e-commerce arm]( by [Yon Heong Tung]( [Salim Group, LOTTE Group join forces to launch online mall iLOTTE in Indonesia]( by [Anisa Menur A.
