A very beautiful song
It becomes so much a sensation
When you are actually appreciating it
Feeling deep with in
Close your eyes
Let your soul be touched by it
Let your mask down
Let your tears down
Let all be down
Let you be you
Against all odds
What do you want right now
Than anything else?
A soulful presence
Far and near
Against all odds
You will come up strong
I call it
The Funny Friday
When I was very young in my career
Friday is my 'closing' day in sales
Normally sales contract were faxing in
All the confirmation were in time
To meet my target
To be the top sales
It went on for some golden years
I suddenly stopped
And asked myself
What am I selling?
This is beyond the Products and Customers
Little did I know
I have already advancing
Into selling Human Spirits
It's okay to be selective
With who do you want to deal with
I was creating tons of value
Moving from survival to significance
I chose
The road less travel
Wow
Did I?
Today
I call it
The Black Friday
I suddenly stop everything on hand
Just breath
If ever I am alive
Suddenly I was cut from the fresh air
A thick darkness covers my eyes
Body pain accumulates
What is going on?
Slowly breathing out
Deep and long
To refocus within
Natural action
I need to feel
I need to
draw the senses within
Not by eyes
But by heart
I stop
At every song I love
Let it flows in very deep and loud
With close eyes
See where it takes me
Be aware
Normally
It's the darkest
Before dawn
I will breath into dawn
Within
Life is full of mysteries
That's it
It knows exactly
When to say NO
No
No
No
No
No
No
No
No
No
No
No
No
No
No
No
No
No
No
No
No
That's it
In the past
I was the organizer for the wine appreciation
and wine dinner event
And various lifestyle and luxury events
They are a big part of my work
Today
I am invited as a guest
Wine appreciation experience
Is so different now
This is an enjoyment
And so much to learn
About wine and the glasses
Wow
What an eye opener experience
Besides the wine tasting
I have a sip or two of whisky
Wow
Already in love with the glassware
By Riedel from Austria
Life is like wine sometimes
So much to learn about
Test it out
To see what you like to most
And do more of them
For those experience you dislike
Know how to cut them off
And above all else
Appreciate life
Just like appreciate wine
Wow
So much to be grateful now
I met a contact
In profiling tools and system business
To provide solution to CEO
In managing business and people
Obviously
I need to take the test and experience myself
On personality test & Emotional Intelligence test
When we met
My contact was giving me some feedback on
my strengths and weaknesses
And asked me a lot of questions diligently
To see how I tackle different type of personalities
And the ability to make emotional connection and maturity works
in dealing with clients servicing and business development area
One thing
Many CEO/MD become so High-D from High-I
When comes to results and bottom line performance
They just want one thing: Sales
And forget the rest
Or not paying too much attention or efforts in other area
For example - leads generation
You need time to build and do the segmentation
What's more interesting is -
I remember Philip Kotley says
In Marketing 3.0
'From Products to Customers to Human Spirits'
I am in
It's not about the products
Despite of the feedback on
What works for me
What not
I stand strong and true to myself
Be authentic
Be yourself
That matters
Screw all the rules
Screw all the details
I am spontaneous
So what
Know Thyself
Follow your heart
Say NO to others
So that you could be true to yourself
And your path
I am
When you meet someone
Even for the first time
You will know
If you are in good hand
It works both ways
When you are open and willing
The soul you meet
Will be in good hand
When you are performing
For higher purpose
You will know
The spirit shine through and to you
In good hand
It flows
Any inspiration or legacy
Time will bring you there
In good hand
One at a time
Be here and now
Consciously
In good hand
Your voice will be heard
Yesterday
The weather in Hong Kong
Changed from hot to rain
From T3 to T8 (Black Rain)
From T8 to T10 (Danger)
For the first time
Very serious in many years
As my client is flying in from Singapore
Our meeting schedule was arranged last week
This morning
Still at T8
I persist to be out
And be there in time
As a result
Client tells me straight that
it says so much about me in character
despite the heavy rain
The strong sense of commitment
Is highly appreciated
I smile
In life
Perhaps we have been through some typhoons too
It reminds me gently
On what we appreciate about what we have
Not on what we do not have
On this note
I promise myself
Despite any weather
Be happy
And enjoy
And it does not bother me anymore
I sing in my heart
In big rain and big wind
Live freely
Love deeply
