Heart to Heart Talk


Communication is a wonderous thing. Why do I feel that way you may ask. Without communication, nothing can be conveyed from one person to another (other then the person has 6th sense). I was thinking about it alot. About what is happening to my life and to the people around me. I see activities, i see alot of activities. I see money being earned, and why am I still stucked getting my paycheck instead of seeing commissions with tens of thousands of dollars. Frankly speaking, even if I say that i'm numb to such sights because of my stay in a real estate agency, I still feel a slight jealousy.

However, it comes with a great price and on the other hand again, is "HOW YOU SEE IT". I found out that I have been using this phrase excessively. Maybe because of my friends, they are using this quite often to me as well. Oh well, tens of thousands of dollars...that sounds too good to be true but the agent has so many hidden costs that i began to feel that..."HEY, wait a minute", i mean is that ten thousand dollars enough to pay for all those things?

I had a chat with this friend which is a property agent. She earns $70,000 last month in commission and she has a cost of about $30,000 on marketing materials, ads etc...Well that is a hell lot of money gone....And considering she has a family and owns a car and still paying for her condominium....seems like it's never enough. Bad luck if she didn't make any sales and still have to commit to such a high overhead...I felt my balls shrink...I have not had such high overheads before and I'm already struggling to keep myself afloat, if not worse, in debts.

Interesting....

I was talking to Changchun about attitudes just now and he was talking about the term "responsibility". From spiderman movie, "With Great Powers Comes Great Responsibilities". I don't know what made him preach so much about the word responsibility. However, I felt that this made something in my heart gushes out and maybe it may be the key to unlock my inner chains. I mean I have been chaining myself with invisible locks, coming to think of it. I mean I am constantly constrained by everything...

Fear....

Fear of Failure? Fear of Success? I don't know. I believe my sense of fear comes from "losing friends"....

Well I felt that i grown stronger mentally lately, and i believe I'm the right track to success...

I miss you...I really miss you... I miss the times that we argue with each other with broken english... I miss the times that you win using japanese which I am terrible at... I miss the times that when i sing you complain about the noise in the studying area... Although I may tell you that I miss the times...you will never read this blog anymore... I wish that there is computer in the place that you are going... I wish that there is somehow I can contact you after you are gone... I wish that somehow you can still use your broken english to motivate me.... I wish that there is perhaps you will become the angel to help everyone in the world.... Angel... May I call you this in the future... The ears that cannot hear anymore... The heart that cannot beat anymore... I did not write my blog for a while... I didn't know what to blog.... I didn't know what to write... Everything seems to be so bad.... The number in my handphone now call to static... Grief... I am forcing myself...

Well, what can I say. When I say that heaven is unfair to me for a certain thing in my life, it return to me in another way. I said that, "Heaven! Why are you so unfair. When people can earn so much in their life and I only earn such pathetic peanuts". The remark must have alert some kind of detection sensors in heaven and send a message to whoever is in charge up there. They return to me something incredible. Which is a very simple thing really, and that is "The Opportunity to Learn". How many times I will skim through a book and then evaluate it with the very least information i got from the skim saying that it is good or not good. How many times I was recommended a book but I didn't bother to look for it. How many times I was taught something but I didn't bother to think about it. How many .... How many .... Too many! Nowadays a good book which is worth reading is worth a million dollars. The information is worth a million dollars. The ideas and philosoph...

I discovered that this is the seventh entry to this blog. Double-O 7, sounds so James Bond haha. Another day passed without any real happening event. However there is some things that is worth remembering and also some ideas that might be useful in future. Met up with a senior director of a real estate company which happens to be an semi-professional photographer. We are suppose to meet up and chat about the possiblities of printing flyers and also something about his bookmarks. After talking so much about our hobbies, which is photography, i find that he became more friendly. I guess that is what happen when you get into a topic which the person is interested in, he will talk more. After he saw the postcard with a good photograph of the nightscene of orchard shot from on top of Fort Canning hill, he was amused and entertained by the picture. He then ask me a question which makes me quite embarrassed to answer. He asked who shot the picture from the postcard, and i just promptly replie...
