Passion is better than threat.

There are three ways to make someone learn. The best is to offer your heart, next could be incentives and the worst is to apply threat.

Is sad to know some of my fellow agencies have to apply threat, forcing their agents to attend agency meetings. Meetings and trainings are important to educate and to motivate agents to sell successfully. However due to poor attendance, agents are compelled to pay penalties for not turning up in their weekly meetings. Surprisingly even with such threats enforced, there are still many agents not afraid to pay their fines.

Though I 'm not involved with their agency arrangement, I personally think these agency managers concern have to excess themselves first. A good and highly inspiring manager needs not persuade his teams to attend his talk but rather his qualities and success alone would motivate his men to come naturally. Unless this manager has no real substance and quality of himself, perhaps offering genuine incentives to attract his people to come would definitely be better than to threaten his men. I guess these forceful managers might not even know their weaknesses and defects. By pushing their authorities and enforcing strict rules are not the ideal way to educate and motivate selling of life insurance.

Selling life insurance is a passion. One has to be committed to excel in this career, he has to work with the heart and not the mind alone to demonstrate his temper and anger to succeed. Whether you are an agent or an agency manager, the love has to be true and sincere.

Will Power.

Do you have Will Power?

Man Quits Smoking Because Of Will Power.
He Quits Drinking Because Of Will Power.
But He Quits Womanizing Because He Has The Will But No Power.

This is true facts of life we have to accept.

Finally a Book for all men to understand women....

When everybody on earth was dead and waiting to enter Paradise , God appeared and said, "I want the men to make two queues. One queue for the men who were true heads of their household, and the other queue for the men who were dominated by their women. I want all the women to report to St Peter."

Soon all the women were gone and there were only the two queues of men. The queue of the men who were dominated by their wives was 100 kilometers long, and in the queue of men who truly were heads of their household, there was only one man.

God said, "You men should be ashamed of yourselves. I created you to be the head of your household! You have been disobedient and not fulfilled your purpose! Of all of you, only one obeyed. Learn from him."

God turned to the one man, "How did you manage to be the only one in this queue?"

The man replied, "I don't know. My wife told me to stand here."

Attitude - Too beautiful not to share

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror,

and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.

'Well,' she said, 'I think I'll braid my hair today.'

So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror

and saw that she had only two hairs on her head.

'H-M-M,' she said, 'I think I'll part my hair down the middle today.'

So she did and she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed

that she had only one hair on her head.

'Well,' she said, 'today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail.'

So she did, and she had a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and

noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head.

'YAY!' she exclaimed. 'I don't have to fix my hair today!'

Attitude is everything.

Be kinder than necessary,

for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Live simply,

Love generously,

Care deeply,

Speak kindly,

and pray continually.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...

It's about learning to dance in the rain.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.

Love the people who treat you right and pray for the ones that don’t.

Never judge a book by its cover alone....

Recently I had a chance to take a glimpse of a beautiful motorcar while walking pass a showroom with little darling. Out of curiosity, we both walked in and was cordially entertained by a friendly salesman. Yes! She is a beauty for the sight and the price is unbelievable cheap. Within a short moment of time, little darling was being carried away with the persuasive sales talk. Besides me she said... my dear that's the car you should buy.

I didn't say a word then but hopefully today title might change her thinking. Never judge the outlook of a car alone. The shape might be fabulous and the interior is fantastic which are considered as pleasant to admire with our deceive eyes. More important are the car inner specification and the hidden technical data which is vital for long term driving. I wonder whether she understands what type of engine and transmission are being built and in stored for this new model. To know, we have to take a bit of time and effort to study and research on them, which most buyers won't.

I hope she remembers this wonderful quote in life. It says, "The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."

I didn't immediately fall for her on the first sight though she has all the attractiveness and sexiness as a lady. I only fell for her when I could see the love in her heart. My dear little darling, this apply in admiring a beautiful car from the outside as well.

Communication skill......

I received a morning call from one of our underwriting staff today. On the phone he was fumbling and spoke so fast that I could not even catch and understand him. For a moment I thought it was a prank call of someone unknown. Luckily I heard him saying 'Prudential', a name which is definitely familiar to me. Though I was driving, I stopped my car to pay more attention to this gentleman.

His voice tells me that he was nervous. I spoke gently to this young man, suggesting him to relax and be calm. I told him to speak slowly, otherwise I would not be able to understand him. Taking a deep breath, he managed to relate his name as Alvin from the underwriting department. My elder son's name is also Alvin. He felt so relieve when I started to address him as son.

Though the call was really not important to relate here, the issue is... most young people are not good in their verbal communication. They might be highly qualified with all the various academics from the best Universities, they lose all their values and potential when they can't present and express their mind. Some might be able to write well but they are speechless when they are confronted face to face. In Malaysia we have thousand of young graduates, many who even hold the MBA status, are unable to get employment. The main reason is, they lack verbal communication skill. And no company would want a staff who cannot talk and speak.

A good and effective communicator is one who has the confidence to speak in clarity, slowly, pause when necessary, using the right tune and voice pitch, and a good command of the language. An effective communicator wins everyone' s mind, and including winning the heart of your loved one as well. I hope, Alvin could be able to speak better the next time on phone.
