Fellowship & Fragile Relationships

In the past days since i last wrote, my earthly concern was mostly about my job. Trying to achieve sales, getting the promotions through the phoneline to the understanding of every customer i call. Every different customer i call, i have to relate differently for they have different need, came from different background, have different financial situation. At that point, i went one level deeper in my understanding of my second purpose of life, fellowship.

I thank the Lord for making sure i didn't skip the main service, where i hear Ps Lawrence spoke on Fellowship. It has opened my mind to understand people better, especially about how far someone achieved inspite of their hurt, and not how far more they still have to go in life. We tend to compare with everyone else in everything we do, if any of them appears to be incompetent, critism would be hurled. Everybody didnt start out fair in life, which means if we compare between ourself with other people, it is not valid. Imagine there is this running race, everybody starts at a different start point and has the same final point, the people nearer to the final would certainly have less difficulty in reaching the end, less effort required altogether. The competition is invalid. No further explaination provided.

JobLife

Look at the nature of my job, overlook the goal that i try to achieve when i make a ring to each of these customers. I hope you see that every customer i called, from the very moment i said Hello, a relationship is formed; Friend to Friend, Educator to the uneducated, Provider to a receiver. Not just a goal orientated relationship; Sales agent to customer.

I enjoy educating my "new friends" about technology, things that i learn here~especially from the training on printing mechanisms. I would chat on, teaching them how to handle certain things, or if to non-savvys' i would advice them on how to create an email address.
Fulfilling the friend to friend, i experienced one particular call from a customer who actually called in looking for someone to talk to, that she may make a decision on what offer to take. Many times, i don't give a shit about HP, i just tell what i fell and know. By the way, whoever is reading, Hewlett Packard printers are really the best in the market but their camera suck-@$$ big time.

By the way, I have made countless friends from calling my list of people... and dislikes actually. Its not in my control, some customers are designed with the purpose only to piss sales agents on the phone.
In a lot of cases, these relationship are fragile. It takes a lot to keep it intact, in my working world it is inevitable to build and drop the relationship just like that. I miss the voice of those who purchases from me, their voice when they state their payment details. Lover-ly!

On a sidenote, i have once again witnessed the fragileness of relationship within my good friends lately. I have seen too many boy girl relationship alway result in despair, disappointment and resentment. Things could never go back like before, regardless of how the situation turn out to be. No one listens or even thinks before entering a relationship. People, heed me, think, feel and listen before you decide to be with someone. It'll help..... Don't regret later.

*especially to men, don't get in a relationship just to get in some pants.

Lol, Cheers

Dear Ryan,
Really refreshing to hear that life's all about how much you've been through and not how far you've reached. But although it may seem that some people have started in front a little, many people fail to see that there are extra 'hurdles' set out for them. So it's true to say that everyone HAS problems, even rich people. Just people see it differently. However, by comparing positively, we can learn to accept that we are not going throught this 'shiet' alone, but there are many ppl experiencing the same things. I personally hate it when people compare who's having more money, friends, fun, etc and then begin to put down the 'lousiest' one. Sigh... Why not just talk bout how hard it took us to survive till this day. After seeing a person without legs, one just wouldn't care bout what brand of shoes he's wearing anymore.
Bout your job: that's life and sales.

Yours,

Nice to hear from you again after a very looooong break you took.
Actually I have been looking forward to your NEW BLOG, but everytime I click in, there isnt't new blog...so sad so sad.... :)

Matter of fact, I also don noe why I only reply or comment to your blog only..even tho some of my friends did also haf a Blog. But I couldnt make myself to reply to them. Maybe its the story they put in. Fake I guess..

Yup,I agreed wif Yaphe that some peoples tend to compare to each other make it, friends they haf, love life,job,how many credit cards they have..etc..long list.

This people I rather stike them off as a friend. Too much..We are here for a reason not to compare with others. Sound familiar...Yes, I pluck it in the bible again.

You do a excellent job by goin in deeper as a friend not only as a sales agent.Thats wat I told my friends to do beyond their job scope. As you know sales line are quite compatative and need to go beyond that.What they called - Personalised Service. You got what its takes bro...Keep it up. The
T-shirt is waiting for you.

Again you witness a BGR issue...hmmmmmmmm............
No comment on that..But anyway you keep up dogh.......

~Keep it goin bro~
