when i woke up at about 5-6am everyday single day, the air was simply chill, cool and also fresh, when i look into sky, it is indeed beautiful, we don't need Dr Sheikh Muzshaphar Syukor to let us know how beautiful and how awesome the earth is.
However we are dealing with lots of negativity in today's world, doesn't matter when you switch on your TV's, radio, internet, lots more media that i don't want to list down as we all know well, the question is do we want this negative message to dampen our day, or get upset bout it? Human born with emotion, when we go out or reading newspaper, it all about getting you to spend your money to meet your luxury lifestyle, seldom, indeed seldom we read about ads that encourage us to save more money.
don't ever let people tell us we can't do something, "you can't do it", i believe human are born with unlimited potential and it is only a matter question of do we want to unleash it? the answer is simple, do we want to step out from our comfort zone? It's never simple, i can guarateed. I always convey one simple message to all my customers, doesn't matter how hard, frustrating, upset with your job, the bad things is you don't get to enjoy that emotion when we don't have a job, and all of them agree with it.
Be humble, the most important criteria if we want to succeed. Don't tell how great you are as sales person or whoever you are, what car you drive or 5000 sq feet house, people don't want to listen how's great you are, they want you to listen to them and come out with a solution through your professional knowledge and skill.
always set yourself a benchmark or standard, i learned from a speaker that "success is a habit", and i agree with him until today. for example, when you can make RM 200,000 in new business last year, deep inside your heart you never settle down for anything less than RM 200,000 new business for this year. It is because you already benchmark yourself that you are one of the RM 200,000 sales producers and people never ever look down on your ability. Thus, make it a habit for yourself, improve everyday bit by bit, you will see significant difference one day.
respect and greet every people you met, i guess i learned it during my young days when i carbon copy it from my parent, i get the opportunity to learn it at young age when my parent open up a furniture shop back here in Ipoh and survive for 14 years, the reason i said survive is that we have no experience in handling business not to mention in furniture industry. But greet and respect brings us a long way before my mother's health deteriorates and decided to wind up the business.
Whoever i met, no matter she was jogging at the park, i will greet them "good morning", just a simple message and you make yourself happy because you make one new friend today. Life is beautiful once again, is how we want our lives to be, to be positive or negative, decision is from us. My girlfriend suffers when i scold her when she don't greet people when she visit people, i don't blame her of the family background where she seldom "connects" with the society, she's quiet and a very good girl, but later she understand my intended message to greet people and respect them.
mere 2 months aways from the year 2007 completion, i myslef yet to fulfill my goal for this year, but i promise myself not to slip up once again and let somebody told me once again that i can't fulfill my goal. i will accomplished and finished the year on a high note, not over confident but from a positive mindset. i will and i'm not just try my best.
enjoy your weekend...
