How to Talk Like a Consultant and be paid $1000 plus daily
If you want to be a consultant, you don't need any skills except maybe make a few powerpoint presentations. You also need to learn the lingo. Be sure to wear a suit and tie at all times and pepper your speech with these choice words and phrases:
Moving forward,
Righstizing,
Rationalize,
Touching base,
Syndicate,
First to market,
Synergy,
Think outside the box,
Ping,
Low hanging fruits,
Apples and Oranges,
Cloud,
Bandwidth,
Facetime,
Let's take this offline,
FTE,
Work smarter not harder,
Quick wins,
Efficiency,
Deliverables,
80 20 rule,
Leverage
Lever,
Core values,
Alignment,
sea change,
gentle reminder,
It does not matter if you don't know what these terms mean, the more you use them, the higher you can charge for your daily rate.
Now if you will excuse me, I need to think out of the box for some low hanging fruits that I need to synergize and syndicate for some quick wins.

Full Service Pump
Full service pumps are a great idea, you get to fill your car from either sides but why is the hose going round the cars to the wrong side ? Only in Kuwait.

Kuwait: The class of 1990
On August 2, 1990, the Iraqi army invaded the emirate of Kuwait, which Saddam Hussein, the then Iraqi president, had declared Iraq's 19th province. At the end of the school year of 1990, students in an international school in Kuwait said their final farewells as they headed off for the summer holidays. Many of them would never meet again. Twenty years on, Al Jazeera's Nashwa Nasreldin returns to Kuwait to find out what happened to her friends and the school during the war that separated them.
It is 47:46 minutes long but very touching.
