Good judgement comes from experience ; and we gain experience from bad judgement.
One never stops learning …
A journey ..
Relationships, career, bringing up a child, love, health ……requires sacrifices.
Its gonna be worth it.

Don’t change
Never give up
We support “YOU” .
We see the sacrifices you have made
We see the deeds you have done for yr country.
Have faith
There will be light at the end of the tunnel
Growing up
Happiness in life is LIVING the moment
and not worrying about the wave that could come your way.
After all, when the wave comes,
you could very well enjoy the experience.
Do not worry about the fall
as you will remember the lesson.
Seize the joy NOW.
ENJOY your moment.
Celebrate life
Be passionate
It’s called growing up
AND ONE IS NEVER TOO OLD TO GROW UP.
We continue to learn everyday.
Blessed ….
Going to work on Monday
Hey, we have an opportunity to earn a living
We are blessed
Be thankful, be grateful
Someone, somewhere out there
is actually praying for the “things we have”
and “taking for granted”
Hence, make the very best of the gift you ALREADY have.
You are only human …
Christina Perry singing
” I can do it
I can do it
I’ll get through it
But I’m only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I’m only human ”
To appreciate others, YOU must first appreciate yourself.
Understand and realize that you are only human with strengths and challenges to continuously improve …..
Once in a while, “dedicate” time, love or even perhaps a song to yourself.
Smile and laugh at yourself.
You are only human.
Reply please …..
Challenges will occur.
What can go wrong, may go wrong.
Deadlines may be missed or deferred.
However, the
– Speed of Communicating and
– Managing Expectations are key to resolving issues.
Even if one has a different view point.
Even if one has to say NO.
Do COMMUNICATE QUICKLY to manage the expectations of others.
Keeping silent without closure is simply unacceptable and makes matters worst.
Learn it all ….
In a recent interview with Business Insider, Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella, credits Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck’s best-selling book, Mindset, as the inspiration for the culture he’s trying to build at Microsoft.
Here’s Satya’s quote
“I was reading it not in the context of business or work culture, but in the context of my children’s education. The author describes the simple metaphor of kids at school. One of them is a ‘know-it-all’ and the other is a ‘learn-it-all,’ and the ‘learn-it-all’ always will do better than the other one even if the ‘know-it-all’ kid starts with much more innate capability.”
“Going back to business: If that applies to boys and girls at school, I think it also applies to CEOs like me, and entire organizations, like Microsoft.”
We could summarize this brilliant strategy in one sentence:
“Don’t be a know-it-all; be a learn-it-all.”
Patience
…. in the meantime ….just do your best.
Laugh …and live life to the fullest …..
But just don’t sit quietly and wait. Nobody will help you …if you do not first help yourself.
Do something …. take action ….make things happen. Enjoy the journey ….. have a positive attitude as you overcome challenges. Be focus. Do what has to be done. Ignore the “noise” around you. Forget about the people who belittle you …or made you seem small.
In your heart ….if you are doing the right thing, ignore those who think otherwise.
The efforts put in may even yield greater achievements and results than you first hoped for.
You are in control …DO NOT EVER FORGET THIS. The time will come when everyone will see your greatess.
Believe in yourself ….
I do ….

Selling
Selling
Is about ME
As a person
My character, my personality
How do I listen and understand
How do I care and know his (my customer) needs
Can I create a need that adds value to his life
Have I served him sincerely
To the best of my ability
Selling
Should not be
For the sole purpose of getting a sale
Through deception, coercion, manipulation
Then, I will perhaps
Only tricked him once
Pushed him into a corner once
Annoy him once
There will then be no continuity
Nor repeat orders
I have to respect my customer
Treat him as how I myself would liked to be treated
After all, we are both human beings, he and I
Only at different positions at different times
By the way
The above writings is not only about the “selling profèssion”
In our lives
We are selling everyday
A “customer” could be our spouse, our child, our parent, our siblings or a relative
Hence shouldn’t we avoid deception, coercion and manipulation ?
Shouldn’t we have respect, sincere-care and love ?
Shouldn’t our personal and professional behaviours be aligned ?
Hence not forcing us to wear a mask depending on the roles we play ?
Can we believe the phrase “love our customer and he will love us back” ?
If we can”t love even if we have sincerely tried very hard, then it is best to walk away and move on. I know I can’t sell to everyone nor can I please everyone.
Everyday, I just need to learn to be a better person and be able to add better values (positive qualities and skills) into MY life ; so that I can in return enrich and better serve others who I engage with.
Selling is not about a product or service.
More importantly it is about ME.
My customers, my friends, my colleagues, my family
Are all a reflection of ME.
A reflection of my Heart & my Soul.
