Woah.It's been exactly a week since I last blogged.Can't really blame me either.Was busy catching up with sleep.In fact.I don't even remember when was the last time I had so many hours of uninterrupted and satisfying sleep.I guess last week's staying up really took it's toll on me.
But at last.I'm back once more.Completely rested and refreshed.And ready to take on almost ANYTHING.Why?Because I'm feeling so happy.For once in my entire life for the past 21 years.I can at last be proud of something I've accomplished.And ironically,it's in the least area I would have expected.And that is my studies.Before I continue any further.I've always believed that there is a very thin line drawn between feeling accomplished and becoming a really egoistic bastard.
Which is why I'll not mention what kind of grades I got.Just that they were all up to my expectations.And my expectations were pretty high.Which is why I'm so happy now.And I guess that Mum is probably feeling very happy too.Because finally after all these years,her good for nothing son has at least done something that she could be proud of.To which I feel rather guilty as well.Because,only after all these years did I finally wake up to my senses.
Anyway.The topic of results aside.I came across something really interesting in a book titled "The Business School - For People Who Like Helping People".Now before I go on to talk about the interesting stuff that I came across in the book.It is interesting to note that firstly.I am someone who doesn't like to read.HONESTLY.I really hate reading.Besides the lecture notes which I am forced to read,and my comics which I'll die without,I would either surf the net or watch TV in my spare time.Therefore you can say that reading a book would be the last thing on my mind when I'm bored and stuff.
And I'm telling you.The way to which I got to start reading this book was really quite amazing.Well.To put it simply.I was kinda supposed to meet this long lost friend of mine to take a look at her company and the product she was promoting.Now luckily,she was frank enough to tell me beforehand the details regarding her company and the products she was selling which allow me to guess almost immediately that she was working for some sort of networking marketing kind of company.If she hadn't been frank with me.I would have gone there,found out that it was a network marketing company and left immediately without even hearing her and her partner out.I'm this kind of person.
I prefer people to be frank with me.Similarly.I would be frank with her.In this case.I told her I'm a pretty difficult customer to convince and that I only went there because I was giving her face as a friend.Anyway.Upon reaching there.I was quite surprised by the friendliness of the people there.Whether they were really friendly or just plainly faking it didn't really matter.They already struck a first good impression.
And unlike previous network marketing agents that I encountered.My friend's partner did not go straight into business right away without even getting to know me better as a customer first.This was what got me interested,and prevented me from making excuses to leave earlier.He was really sincere and talked to me in a friend to friend conversation like manner rather than an emotionless business like way.Anyway.In the end.Even though I still did not buy whatever he was promoting,in this case it was a seminar to help people succeeed in life.But he had left an impression on me.
Which was partly the reason why I decided to read this book that my friend lent me.Though at first I was pretty hesistant about borrowing the book becuase I kinda knew that it was just a strategy to get another chance to ask me to go for another 'brain-washing' session again.Haha.Joking.Anyway.Once I started reading the book.I couldn't stop.It was really interesting as the author of the book.Rather than being one of those many rich people who only desires to get even richer,in this case by writing books that teach people to succeed.He was instead a rather kind and generous man who had long ago earned enough money to support the rest of his life and had already retired.
Anyway.He mentioned something in his book which reminded me of something my other friend said.He said.
"Let money work for you rather than you work for money."
I mean at the point of time when other friend told me this.I was still just a slacker with no ambitions.Who only cared about living day by day and getting a degree sp that I could get a white collar job like just about everyone else.And earning a paycheck taht would just be enough for me and my parents.
Somehow.After what the guy told me yesterday.My mind was finally opened.As in awakened a step further.I couldn't just be contented with getting good grades and
a degree.I should really start thinking about what I really wanted to do.And could do.Which was why today I was spending most of time thinking about this.Could I actually go into a business of some sort?Could I actually make money work for me?Instead of the standard way of studying hard,and working hard for money?
I'm still thinking.And if you guys haven't thought about it.
You guys should too.
That's all for now I guess.Tataz.
