When you are going to enter any gathering, any party, or elsewhere, before entering the room, stop first at the doorway and survey the room and its energy level, i.e., whether it is dull or energetic, by looking at what people are doing, like who is talking to whom or doing what activities. Then, enter the room and make decisions afterward; otherwise, you may do things that portray a bad image.
