Something seems a bit "off"


So sad...
There was a little quarrel between two love partners. They refused to give way to each other and were at loggerhead on confrontation. One demanded for a reason, while the other was angry but refused to explain the anger and frustration.

He called her many times but she didn't pick those calls. After awhile, he felt lonely and got sick. He had to borrow someone's else shoulder.


So when life gets you down, this can happen...

Angry and upset over at her place. Pride deters her to speak with her love either. She spoke to herself, when i had a chance to meet him again, i would squeeze and sit over him like the cat above.

Are you into some kind of weird tug of war? Yes! I am because someone close isn't talking to me and i hope that person who sees these pictures would smile again. Please don't be angry lah!

Something for all of us to learn - “When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free.” - Catherine Ponder quotes

Makes so much sense!


This is quite interesting......
(To women) Please take time to ponder.....
(To men) Just enjoy the story......

And specially posted for my little darling to read...

Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighbouring kingdom.. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death.

The question was: What do women really want?

Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man. And to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men, and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.

Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer. But the price would be high as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.

The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but first he would have to agree to her price.

The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table, and Arthur's closest friend! Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunch-backed and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc.

He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.. He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden.

But Lancelot, having learnt of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life. And the reservation of the Round Table. Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered.

Arthur's question thus: 'What a woman really wants?'
She said, 'A woman wants to be in charge of her own life.'

Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth, and that Arthur's life would be spared. And so it was. The neighbouring monarch granted Arthur his freedom. And Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.

The honeymoon hour approached and, Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen was sitting by the bed.

The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened. The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth become her horrible and deformed self only half the time, and be the beautiful maiden the other half.

'Which would you prefer?' She asked him. 'Beautiful during the day .... or at night?'
Lancelot pondered the predicament.


During the day he could have a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch!

Or,

Would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day?
But by night a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous moments with?

(If you are a man reading this...) What would YOUR choice be?
(If you are a woman reading this...) What would YOUR MAN'S choice be?
And Lancelot's choice is given below...
BUT... please make YOUR choice first before you scroll down below... OKAY?

Knowing the answer the witch gave to Arthur for his question, Sir Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.

Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time..
Because, he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.

Now... what is the moral to this story?
. The moral is...
1) There is 'witch' in every woman, no matter how beautiful she is !
2) If you don't let a woman have her own way, things are going to get ugly !

So, be careful how you treat a woman and always remember
IT IS EITHER ' HER WAY ' OR IT IS ' NO WAY ' !!

Is true! I try to allow little darling 'HER WAY' or I would get 'NO WAY' from her too. Right?

Learn from our selling mistakes.


Selling Tips..

The Great Otto von Bismarck said "Only a fool learns from his own mistakes. The wise man learns from the mistakes of others."

Is true! To be successful in selling, one has to learn, especially at the beginning stage. Attend seminars and trainings, follow your manager's advices, mentor a great master, track your seniors, read as much as possible (Try this blog) and listen to your buddies.

Yes! Learning from others is effective but i considered it is only 10% contribution to our 100% success in selling. The 90% is still from ourselves! There is another saying from John Bradshaw, "It's okay to make mistakes. Mistakes are our teachers -- they help us to learn."

In making mistakes through of ourselves, we have to face rejections to be patience, we have to be confronted with hardship to understand tolerance, we have to gain pain to know what is caring and love, we have to be cheated to be more tactful and honest, we won't appreciate trust unless we are willing to be sincere, and we could be strong and have creditability only when we know our mistakes.

Many have failed in selling, especially selling life insurance because they wanted an easy way to excel in this challenging career by spoon feeding. Unless one is prepared to rough it out by making mistakes and learning from them, you might not be able stay too long in this business. It's only those who could still smile while suffering through making mistakes, would succeed in selling.

I am always inspired by Indira Gandhi: Motivational Selling Quotes "There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there."

Camel Joke


The new Marine Captain was assigned to a recon company in a remote post in the desert.

During his first inspection, he noticed a camel hitched up behind the mess tent. He asks the First Sergeant why the camel is kept there.

"Well, sir," is the nervous reply, "as you know, there are 250 men here and no women. And sir, sometimes the men have ... m-m-m.... urges. That's why we have the camel, sir."

The Captain says, "I can't say that I condone this, but I understand about urges, so the camel can stay."

About a month later, the Captain starts having a real problem with his own urges. Crazy with passion, he asks the First Sergeant to bring the camel to his tent.

Putting a stool behind the camel, the Captain stands on it, pulls down his pants, and has wild, insane sex with the camel. When he is done, he asks the First Sergeant, "Is that how the men do it?" "Uh, no sir," the First Sergeant replies. "They usually just ride the camel into town where the girls are."

Note: Words which have double meanings... can be misinterpreted. Listen isn't enough but listen to understand.

Self Appraisal


A little boy went to a telephone booth which was at the cash counter of a store and dialed a number. The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation:

Boy : "Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?"
Woman : (at the other end of the phone line) "I already have someone to cut my lawn."
Boy : "Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price than the person who cuts your lawn now."
Woman : I'm very satisfied with the person who is presently cutting my lawn.
Boy : (with more perseverance) "Lady, I'll even sweep the floor and the stairs of your house for free."
Woman : No, thank you.

With a smile on his face, the little boy replaced the receiver. The store-owner, who was listening to all this, walked over to the boy.

Store Owner : "Son... I like your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a job."
Boy : "No thanks,
Store Owner : But you were really pleading for one.
Boy : No Sir, I was just checking my performance at the job I already have. I am the one who is working for that lady I was talking to!"
This is called "Self Appraisal"

The difference between dream and aim,

Dream requires Soundless sleep to see

Whereas Aim Requires Sleepless Efforts to Achieve..........

A late starter on sex.


If you think sex starts only when you are young, read this true story which might amuse and surprise your thinking.

Ah Kow and his wife are both in their late sixties. When they got marry forty six years ago, they were poor and could only afford a rented hut. Their room was small and the four walls were all made of soft wood. Although they had privacy inside this space, they spoke little, especially in the late night. Because their neighbour's rooms could hear the slightest whisper or movement from them. Their first night of honeymoon in this unforgettable room was quick and fast. No yelling or screaming on bed, for fear of over hearing by the outside.

We asked the elderly wife now, whether she knew what was good sex and love making. She said those days sex was merely to satisfy the husband, was the obligation and duty of a wife to give her body to her man. She did not understand what was love making, she didn't know what was orgasm, except to please the husband and be responsible to give birth to his babies.

By one year, there was a cry of baby in their home. The next ten years, the tiny room was crowded with another five children. All their children had to sleep on the wooden floor, and usually the youngest child would sleep together with the parents on the bed. Under such environment and condition, we could imagine making enjoyable sex was definitely not possible. Their satisfaction was short and quick. Please don't laugh! Is true my readers.

Time passed rapidly. By the time Ah Kow and wife arrived into their mid fifties, all their children had grown to be adult. Their elder son was doing well and shifted both their old folks to stay with them in their brick house in the city. At this stage of life, his wife had reached her menopause age when she thought "sex and love making" wasn't necessary anymore. She no longer served and obliged the man, and the man thought she was not interested in him either. Funny isn't it! Perhaps there was no proper communication in love & romance those day.

Came two years ago when something unexpected happened to this old couple. While they were sleeping one night in their classy home, the husband's hand accidentally touched the soft tender breast of the wife. Under a fantasy dream, the man fondled her blossom. The old lady had never experienced this crazy touch of her man, started to yearn and cry. He heard the "Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhhhhh!!!" from the woman besides. He too got excited hearing the wild cries of sex. This is when they started to understand and practise effective sex and love play after marrying to each other for forty over years. This is when their real sex life begins. Mind you at late sixties!

Moral of the story: There is no age barrier on sex, as long as you understand life.

Something you might not know - "Some men know that a light touch of the tongue, running from a woman's toes to her ears, lingering in the softest way possible in various places in between, given often enough and sincerely enough, would add immeasurably to world peace" ~ Marianne Williamson, "A Woman's Worth"

You are important to me.

I was preparing to meet Andrew for a lunch, when he called to inform that he could not make it again. This is the second time within the same week that he failed to meet up with me. His excuse wasn't acceptable because he wanted to meet another prospective client who urgently needed to see him. I was upset and angry. Raising slightly my voice, i offered this Friday as a last alternative date. Otherwise i won't be seeing him for lunch in future.

Andrew is only in his mid thirties. By profession he is a contractor who rented one of my premises for his business. Though he works extremely hard, i don't see him doing well in his career. He has been holding my rental for a couple of months. His biggest downfall is his weak management of time.

A successful business man controls his time well and efficient. With good attitude and ethic, punctuality is almost prefect. Not Andrew who are always late in appointments or skipping and postponing meetings as promised. He might not even aware that each appointment he postponed, he made his clients or friends unimportant.

Lets look at my last two lunches with him. He wanted to see his new business prospects first, opting to cancel my appointments which were fixed earlier. Without him realising, i felt unwanted and not important to him. Luckily i am not his client, otherwise i might not want to deal business with him further. He had distrusted his creditability and integrity.

If he could come and meet me this Friday i will speak my mind for him. A successful person always attempt to make everyone important, no matter who the acquaintances are. If one could master the skill to let someone in front of you feel important, he or she would be the most likable and lovable person to everyone. I hope i am. Ha Ha Ha!!!
