朋友别哭

有没有一扇窗,能让你不绝望
看一看花花世界,原来象梦一场
有人哭,有人笑
有人输,有人老
到结局还不是一样

有没有一种爱,能让你不受伤
这些年堆积多少对你的知心话
什么酒醒不了,什么痛望不掉
向前走就不可能回头望

朋友别哭,要相信自己的路红尘中有太多茫然痴心的追逐
我一直在你心灵最深处

The Triple-8

We have "triple-8" hours a day. Bill Gates, Jack Welch, Zig Ziglar, you and I, we all have "triple-8" hours a day.

We work 8 hours. We rest 8 hours. Mathematically we still have remaining 8 hours for a day. Zig Ziglar says, "What you do off the job is the determining factor in how far you will go on the job."

If we are going to get ahead in job, our activities and preparation off the job will be the determining factors. Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command, when we focus all our resources on mastering a single area of our job. Controlled focus is like a laser beam that can cut through anything that seems to be holding us.

We must realize that this temporary recession is the best opportunity that we'll every had. So, deal with the things that we'd rather not to deal with: fear to fail, fear of rejection, procrastination.

I personally feel, hard work is about "throwing our hearts over the fence, and the bodies will follow." ~Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

唐山大兄 - The Big Boss

Wudang (武当派) is Hubei Province. Founder of Wudang is ZhangSanFeng (太极张三峰), Dynasty Master. Tai Chi Master is one of a kind.

Shaolin (少林派), early years of the Republic are fabricated and they will be attached to Bodhidharma, founder of Shaolin boxing, Shaolin Temple Dharma in the nine years facing the wall, 18, Pioneer Ocean's hand. It also added changquan, Xing Yi Quan, North Tanglang Quan (北螳螂拳), Hou Quan (猴拳), and so on the back of modern-Boxing


You might be wondering what am I trying to say. As a matter of fact, I am just trying to elaborate, even Kung-Fu, we have many differences; not to mention sales.



"隔行如隔山";“Difference in profession makes one feel worlds apart.”

You can't just compare door-to-door hardcore sales to corporate sales. That's absolutely different. I beg to differ for the followings:

Firstly, redemption of insurance plan(s) through point-system (i.e bonus link, credit cards, etc). Rationale? It is totally against the principles of selling insurance. Insurance industry is suppose to be human touch, honestly, integrity and trust, residual incomes, build on helping people live better lifes. Make sense?

Secondly, we are in Voluntary "Employee" Benefits program. We are not in Voluntary "Student" Benefits program. Imagine, Universities endorse the program, allowing us to sell insurance to their students? Kindly silly right?

Thirdly, corporate sales involve preparation of proposals extensively. Of course it is well understood that a door-to-door sales persons can spend their entire day out-of-office, but corporate sales consultants don't.

Lastly, it is absolutely crazy to hear that academic qualifications are not important in corporate sales. Then, why might you as well hire a language (English) iliterate and computer idiot to do the work?

Dad's Footprints

One night a girl had a dream. She dreamed she was walking along the beach with her Dad. Across the sky flashed scenes from her life. For each scene, she noticed two sets of footprints in the sand, One belonging to her, and the other to her Dad.

When the last scene of her life flashed before her, she looked back at the footprints in the sand. She noticed that many times along the path of her life There was only one set of footprints. She also noticed that it happened At the very lowest and saddest times in her life.

This really bothered her And she questioned her Dad about it. "Dad, You said that once I am your child, You'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that During the most troublesome times in my life, There is only one set of footprints.

I don't understand why when I needed You most you would leave me." The Dad replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, When you see only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you."

Life's A Bitch If You Let It Be

Have you ever asked someone what they had for lunch and they, roll their eyes and say something like, “I had Chicken Rice AGAIN.” And when you say to them if they don’t like it, why not have something else, they reply, “I don’t have a choice.” This is a load of rubbish – and believe me I’ve heard plenty of #$%^ speak in my lifetime.

Of course you have a choice!

You can decide to wake up a little earlier and make yourself a sandwich for one – or look for other places to try out. You can decide to make life simple, or choose to bitch about every single thing that comes your way. If things are not going well for you, grow a backbone and stop slithering about in self-pity. Pick yourself up and move forward.

Bad break in appointments? Stop all the crying and wallowing. Tell yourself you’re going to get really successful and win next company back – provided they’re worth the work you’ll be putting in. Otherwise, get successful for yourself. After all, success is the best revenge.

If your job is bringing you down, look for something else that you really want to do. Yes, it’s really that simple. Get out of your comfort zone. Change for the better is never easy – you need to challenge yourself and go through some rough patches in order for you to really appreciate all the good that is in your life. Once that happens, you’ll bitch less and be a nicer person to yourself and those around you.

A Villain Who Never Learn

Today Arsenal drawn but Taufik Hidayat won his Mecau Open 2008. Bad and Good news. As for me, I was drawn mad by a villain who never learn.

Another identical miniature act, whispering and go on with some annoying talking makes the entire world turns crazy. That is absolutely nuts and highly uneducated. How I wish I slap that miniature like the way Shrek kicks the donkey's butt..
