Every interaction need not be responded to. Two reasons:
1. Many things people say don't deserve a response.
2. The moment you respond , you are no longer in control. The conversation is.
Eg. How many provocations, comments , criticisms do you think Cricketer Sachin responded to , in his career? What %?
Do not dignify everything that is said, with a response.

The point of PowerPoint
There are not many in this world who made billions out of PowerPoint except perhaps Bill Gates.
If you want to articulate an idea, make a pitch, discuss points and numbers, get your idea straight like a story line .
Can you explain it on the back of a napkin, with a cheat note, just face2face?
Do it that way rather than open a PowerPoint file. You will get your points across without a lot of mess and pain.
There is a reason US army banned PowerPoint .
Remember world existed just fine before MS PowerPoint.

Excellence
As the legendary coach vince lombardi once said " one's quality of life is directly proportional to one's commitment to excellence". The battle between excellence and real life compromises are everywhere.
While life and business demand that one makes compromises, the passion to pursue excellence should not be given up.
It's the journey as much as the goal, that make it worth it. Such a path provides purpose, motivation and satisfaction that cannot come from material gains.
