Hello Guys!
Sorry for being MIA for almost one month. Been busy adapting to my new found low-purine diet due to my Gout. It’s really not easy to find food outside with my condition and i have a whole list of ban food that i cannot touch.
Nevertheless i take it as a form of healthy living that i adopt at a younger age =) Went for a blood test and thank God that it is all cleared except that i have a high level of uric acid which results in my gout. Through this experience, i told myself that i must not take my health for granted. If you are healthy now, it doesn’t mean you won’t contact anything in future hence we always have to be healthy.
Last month i have also bought myself a car - Mitsubishi Colt Plus! Despite the fact that it is a liability, i have decided to go ahead with this upgrade. Well it was really a small upgrade for me in the sense that i gotten a off-peak car instead thus reducing the monthly committment. Again by owning a car, i realised even more things about the idea of having a car.
First of all to those that think by having a car will be more convenient, i have to be totally agreeable with you! My girlfriend stayed in town and each night if i will to take public transport to send her back and i go home, it will takes about one hour. Plus it will also be taking one hour if i will to meet client at west area. Previously i have been doing so and it was really tiring, The fact that i can endure for so long was because i thought of the money saved and it made me felt justificable. But for now, i just want to make my life easier =)
But although it helps you to save time, one has to see how he/she makes use of the extra time. If one simply just decide to slack at home to do nothing while having the extra time by having a car then i think it’s not productive. If they make use of the time to go for another appt or go home to do work then i will think it’s helpful to own a car.
Owning a car does not help you to save money! I have to emphasize on this! As a matter of fact, i think one will spend more money because one will tend to go for late night supper, buy more grocery since have space to bring home, modify their cars or travel to many other places for dating. I supposed for those who owns a car will be nodding their head with me =) Plus with all the ERP and carpark charges, it wont be surprised that owning a car will actually make you poorer.
Well all in all, i will still think that if the monthly committment of a car is within 20% of your income and you can still save 30% of the gross salary then it will be a good idea to have one! Happiness index of having a car rates 7 out of 10!
Updates on my work would be that i am very happy to inform you guys that i have managed to clear my target much earlier than expected this year despite the fact that early this year, the economy is not doing very well. Much have to attribute to my loyal and faithful clients who have trusted me and supported me all these while. With many new products in the market, i am better able to equip myself and value added them better! I will continue to work hard and not to let you guys down!
Coming into December is an exciting things for me because i will be heading for my annual ICT and that will be the time where all our good old friends can gather together to talk and bond together! It’s also a time where we evaluate our achievments and to see what are the miracles that can happen if you really believe in it. Never give up because we have not reach the end point.
To all the sales people out there, one word of encouragment for you:
*****Your success does not depend on anyone but yourself! You are the key! *****
All the best to my readers out there!
God bless you!
Pete
