Congratulations to Daniel Tan from Nanyang Technological University for his winning essay:

“The airport lounge provides solitude, quiet and an opportunity to act your reflection (done during the flight). The limited time windows between flights forces high productivity to make decisions, and finish up (attach and send e-mail) and create any delegated tasks and assignments. My colleagues like it, for they get to know the calm after that productivity storm ;) where they would be left alone to do the necessary responses. They know how much time to breathe before I report in again ;)”
