Simon was confused. Mr. Young, a senior manager, was standing beside him.

“How can that be?” Simon asked. “I don’t even get a chance to speak to them.” “Speech is not the only method of communication. Your body language is important, too.”
“What kind of language is that?”
“It’s the way you stand and sit. It’s your gestures, and the expression on your face and in your eyes. Your whole appearance communicates things. You often rest your head on your hand. You don’t look up. You never smile. So you don’t make a good impression on people.”
