NECESSARY LUXURY – Donovan James
Chairman & CEO of Telicon Group
I gave up my iPhone for the BlackBerry Bold and have never looked back since… its various features – BlackBerry Messenger, email, voice notes and social networks like Facebook – keep me connected all the time to my business partners both local and overseas, managers and friends.
I travel a lot so my Garmin nuvi GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) ensures I can drive anywhere in the USA and the rest of the world as if I know and live in the place. I never leave the island without it. My Bose QC3 Acoustic Noise-Cancelling Headphone ensures that during a flight I can relax and/or enjoy my music without unnecessary surrounding noise interference (think engine noise). Dell Studio XPS Laptop delivers high processing speed/power required for various engineering projects/tasks. And because being on time is important to me, I must have my Movado Elliptica watch – from my collection of 20 – and this also ensures that for those “high-powered meetings” I add a touch of class to my attire. The book I am reading right now is Strategic Management by Kevan Williams and finally, my credo: “The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do, well!” by Henry W. Longfellow.
