Rags to riches?

Have been innundated with lots of work lately, which explains the long absence from blogging. Sorry folks :P

Was talking to Sebby during one of our lunch breaks. What makes a good sales man? Being able to lie positively? It appears in this age and time, that most sales people are more interested to make a quick buck than to sell a genuinely good product/service. And how do you know if a product is good unless you make it yourself? Which means that for those of us starting sales job….are you sure what you are selling is value for marnie? But there is one thing I certainly know that we ought to sell! Greateast value for marnie man…prizes for those who guess correctly!

There are many rags to riches programmes that capitalize on people’s disillusionment with their current lifestyle - being bossed around, with low pay and long working hours, with little promotional prospects. How to get rich fast and attain financial freedom? If you do not have an ivy league track record, then 3 ways - do sales, do finance or set up your own business. Certainly, a few die-hards with abit of luck (or blessing) will make it. The rest is left holding on to their tattered dreams, year on year. Question is, what is the point of it all, even if you are rich? You live 80 years and still mati wat… So what if I have no financial freedom, I can still survive on milo peng and hor fun!

Ultimately, I am in desparate need to get to know people with an ideal slant in life. Am surrounded by much pragmatism here in S’pore man. Not that its bad…its just alittle homogeneous for the health of our society :P
