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!!

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
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.
