Stop Manipulating Me!

Went for another career talk. The person talking was one of the VP of the company. He was every inch a salesperson. Geez.. salesmanship is just so not me. These people, they thought they were smarter than the rest. Those fake "friendly tap", fake praises.. sigh. And every sentence was the tried and tested script. They had probably used it for thousands times all over the world. They seemed to think that they know how to control your mind. You just can't tell whether they are speaking from their heart or not. Tongue is indeed a very powerful and dangerous weapon. Oh well.. I just wanted to tell these kind of people: "Stop trying to manipulate people! You don't know everything after all"

And the training that I will take part in, it is somekind of motivational course, with the last two session being NLP related. Honestly.. I am really not into such stuff. "It's all in your mind", they say. It sounds good and logical ya. But if you were to follow their path.. you will end up believing your state of mind and nothing else. Your mind will be your god.

Having said that.. I am genuinely interested in this field and should God favor this, I am sure it will work out and I will get the much needed side income. I just have to make sure that I am not turning into someone who likes to manipulate other's mind in order to get what I want. Even if I am not the most talented, successful and interesting person around, I can still say that I have been genuine enough. And I hope that one of my friends would slap me hard if he/she finds out that I start to change.

Fighting!!

Hi!
It's me again...your secret blog reader:D
Since i think you are a Christian (at last from some of your blog I conclude so), please pray fervently before you follow any of those NLP sessions.Also,there are many informations you can find regarding this in relation to Christianity. You can check it towards the bible teachings. I can only give you one article as an example:

Pray that you may find the truth.

God bless you,

Your sister in Christ

Hi secret reader =D
Thanks so much for the url and your concern.. yup I also have some doubt with regards to those NLP course and intending to skip it heh. At the same time, I also want to know what it's like ;) I will pray for this for sure.

It's scary really to think of how such 'motivational' course has spread all over the society. The company I was talking about is a property agency fyi. So.. erm yeah.. every property agent will need to go thru such brainwash before they could operate.

journal: a little update

wow I am actually back to this blog. between Apr 27 2018 and now.. what has happened? I officially proposed to my girlfriend (wah.. trust me you gonna miss that word), got married, and.. became a dad. yeah.. all in a matter of less than 2 years. now when you consider the fact that in 2015 I would not have the slightest idea how things would turn out, it just goes to show how life changes in a blink. How is married life? Well.. I am one of those who has pretty pragmatic view when it comes to marriage. I have seen enough to know that relationship is messy. So.. I must say marriage has been way way better than my expectation hah.. For example.. I knew that my wife is a smart woman. I knew some of her shortcoming too.. (and there are some I didn't know till we got married, of course) BUT... here's the big bonus. I didn't know she can be that adorably funny in her own way. Not funny like a standup comedian funny but.. you know.. she makes me laugh. Trust me.

Hmm..

si mahasiswa NTU yg bunuh diri itu denger2 namanya david. sigh.. mgkn final year presssure was too much to him. jadi inget masa2 kerjain final year project, tinggal 3 bulan dan gua maseh blank. untung ngga masuk berita ky dia. life is a funny thing. well since there is a chance that this may not be a simple suicide, lets not assume so. maybe there's a truth behind this. duh.. jd inget kalo di conan trus dia bilank, "ini bukan bunuh diri.. ini adalah kasus pembunuhan!" jadi serasa mao jadi detektip -_-
