Accident Scene

Last Saturday when I passed by Mahkota Hospital, I witnessed a post-accident scene. A dead body was on the street covered with white clothes and there was blood on the floor. I din't see how exactly the accident happened, but from the scene, me and CheeSeong guessed that there must a bus somehow crossed over the divider and went to the other side of the road and bang someone on the lane. I wanted to took some photo of the scene, but CheeSeong stopped me. We both believe in ghosts and think that better don't do anything to avoid unnecessary problem.


The next day we read the news on newspaper. The dead person was an Indonesian maid. She was crossing the street after came out from the hospital with her employer. One lucky thing is that before she crossed the street, she hand over the baby she was carrying back to her employer. According to the bus driver, he was trying to avoid a car which is going to bump into him, thus he crashed the divider and knocked down the lady who was standing on the divider. But if the driver was not speeding, how can he crashed the entire divider and caused the lady dead? From my own experience, most of the Malaysia bus driver is really driving recklessly. Personally I think that they should be educated that they held big responsiblity to their passengers.


On the other hand, I think that everyone has their own destiny. Maybe the lady was destisned to die on that moment at the place. Or else, why she? why not the baby, why not her employer? why not any other people on the street? Maybe it's just the time for her to go. We'll never know what is going to happen to us. We might not able to see the rising sun of tomorrow, so live well, and be responsible to yourself. Make sure you have a good financial planning so that your family members wont suffer if anything happens to you. They'll definitely suffer mentally or physically, don't make them suffer financially on top of that. It'll be really cruel to do that to them.

Recently I have a friend told me that he don't have to do any financial planning because he doesn't have anyone to depend on him. This is what most of the people think. But actually it's not right. So i decided to write a post about financial planning, hope it'll help to educate the people out there to understand more about it. But it takes quite some time since I'm better in talking than writing :P

Stay tune....

Sharing of Thoughts

I remembered my leader told me before, one of the reason people feel unhappy is because their action is different from their thought. Recently I truly understand what she meant.

Frankly speaking, when I started to be an insurance agent, I was not quite ready for it. I know it's a chance for me to start my own business, build my own career, but I just didn't think I would enjoy the job. After I started the job, life is quite miserable for me. I want to be successful in the future, but on the other hand, I was so reluctant to make phone calls, make appointments, meeting up people, which are the basic things I need to do right now. It's like, I know what I need to do, but I don't want to do it, but I know if I don't do it, I won't be getting the result I want, but I want to have the result......I'll go insane to think about it. haha.

Last weekend I met up with a friend. We've shared some of our thought and phylosophy. I remember few things he told me:
1) Do your best and never lie to yourself. If you know you haven't done your best, do it. You can lie to the whole world, but don't lie to yourself.
2) Life is interesting. Everything happens in our life, we can see it in different angles. We can blame on everything, or we can learn something from the incident.
3) Successful people make decision based on long term result. People tend to make wrong decision if it was made based on short term result.
4) Expectation leads to dissapoinment. We always expect people to change to fit our expectation, and we always get dissapointed. But what we actually need to do is, ask ourselves: have I tried my best to help this person to improve? We need to focus on what we can do to help others, not what others should change to suit us.
We've talked for 4 hours that day, and that was only our first "so called appointment".

So, do my best and don't lie to myself.
Recently I've been busying on cold-calling ( go shop by shop to do prospecting ) with Chee Seong. Maybe the place we choose is right, maybe the timing is right, or maybe partner with him is right. I don't know.. But it brings us good result. The people we met are not bad, the response we've got also not bad, and we make some new friends, and the most important is, the result is not bad too.

So, I start to understand the meaning of don't lie to yourself, and align your thoughts and actions. Do what you need to do, and the result will come in time due. Sometimes we still get lazy. But when you realised you are getting lazy, please wake up and go do what you need to do!!
I'm starting to enjoy my job now. I'm not only building up the foundation of my future career, I also get to know more people and learn more from them. And the most important thing is.. I'm doing what I need to do.

Dear friends, I hope you all know what you need to do, and do your best.

种子 vs 石头

种子一旦被踩，就会埋没在泥土里。承受着无奈，压力，甚至愤怒。
石头如果被踩，仍然顽强的站立在原地。
如果让你选择，你会做种子还是石头？

如果好好的利用雨水，阳光，和泥土里的营养。
1 年后，被埋没在泥土里的种子，已经变成一颗小树。
10 年后，小树已经变成一棵挺立的大树。
石头还是老样子呆在原地。

再让你选择，你会做种子还是石头？

鳗鱼

听到一个故事

从前，有个皇帝很喜欢吃一种只有南部才有的鳗鱼。但是，从南部到北京路途遥远，往往还没到达目的地，鳗鱼已经死了。而皇帝只喜欢吃新鲜现宰的鳗鱼。
由于皇帝对鳗鱼的鲜美真的是念念不忘，他下了一道圣旨：谁可以把鳗鱼活着地带到北京，奖赏一千两黄金。但是一直没人成功过。直到有一天，真的有个人成功把活着的鳗鱼运上京。皇帝非常开心，也很好奇，于是把那人招来问话。
那个人解释：道理很简单。鳗鱼的天敌是黄鱼，只要把它们放在同个缸里，鳗鱼就会为了要逃离黄鱼的捕猎而拼命游。这样不知不觉就到了北京而鳗鱼还活着挣扎。

很简单的故事。寓言是：压力就是动力。

但是，听完故事后，我在想：
鳗鱼如果独自被运去北京，会因为路途遥远而死掉。
如果和黄鱼被放在一起，就算活着到达北京，最后也会被吃掉。
如果鳗鱼知道，只要它一被放进缸里，它的命运就已经定了。不管怎样，最后也是死，那，黄鱼追逐它时，它还会拼命逃吗？它会怎么做？

26th Birthday

I had an simple birthday celebration with my boyfriend on my 26th birthday.
Dinner and movie.
After I came home, I suddenly felt that, why am I not happy? Is it that the long run relationship already kills all the romance, spark, or passion? Or is it me don't know how to feel happy or excited or joyful anymore?
I suddenly miss the time when i was still a child. Happiness is so simple back then.
Well, I guess all of us has to pay to grow up.
Sigh.....
But, when I check my facebook, I see so many wishes came from friends from all over the places.
I feel so warm. Thank u my friends, for the wishes.
And start from this day, I'm 26 years old.

A day to remember

Last year, I made a decision, which some sort changed my life, not the way I wanted, but I never regret that.

I decided to leave penang and come back to melaka (what a stupid decision.. sigh....). But, as the saying "you lose something, you gain something". I chose this path, I might lose all the fun and nice food and freedom.. but on the other hand, I learn the true meaning of love. The essence of love, is not falling in love, is maintaining the love and upgrade it and treasure the people you have.Sounds easy, but I've paid a lot to learn the lesson.

This year, again, I made another decision which I believe will change my life. I quit my so called "profession", which is engineer, to join the field which is totally new to me, the "insurance agent", or "financial planner". Many people give advises and comments on my decision.

-For those who support me, I would like to say thank you.

-For those who wish they could be as "brave" as me, I would like to say, you can do it too. Don't just wish for it, do it. I'm not brave, I'm damn scared actually, but if you never take the first step, you can only "wish" for everything but get nothing in your life.

-For those who say I'm not that kind of person to be an insurance agent, I'm more suitable to be what what what...
I would like to say, my life is my drawing book, I'll draw and paint as how I like it. But, I appreciate your concern and your advice.Thank you

-For those who say it's not that easy as you think, many has failed, everyone also want to earn big money, but it's not easy.. bla bla bla.. I would like to say, imagine you are driving at night, you want to go from destination A to destination B. You cannot see a thing but the small area infront of you which is lightened up by the headlights. Do you want to sit in the car and imagine how to reach your destination and tell yourself it's too difficult, I cannot see a thing....or you'll drive along the way, focus on the area where your headlights can hit, and eventually reach you destination?

This is a tough decision. But I think it's the right decision. I'll go along this path until I achieve my dream. From this moment onwards, I call myself a dream chaser..

For my colleagues and friends, thanks for your friendship and kindness and support. I truly appreciate the friendship. I love you guys.
