the one with work

i have always heard about how cut throat the working world out there, especially in sales. i guess i am beginning to see it surfacing. i know that in sales, it is all men for himself. the survival of the fittest. however, does it have to incur other people's wrath in the midst of doing so? i still believe in the traditional thinking of sticking to my own principles. not to offend anyone in my work and to maintain healthy working relationships with my colleagues. i do not wish to become unscrupulous in the future. stealing other people's deals in order to record the highest sales and get promoted. people can mock at me for being stupid in this world today. but i still believe if i changed into that kind of character, it is not worthwhile at all. of course i do want to make lots of money. but i still want to have my own principles and to stick to it whenever possible.

times are bad with all the talk about what is happening around the financial world. it is bad. and i guess it is time to hide under a safe umbrella for now. heard something from a senior vice president today which i feel it is really true. if we can survive this recession, we can come out being a better person cos we would have seen the worst. and i believe, this will increase our market value in the future.

it is hard to talk to people with different wavelength. they think differently and it is hard to click with them. i am still not aggressive at my work. to push to sell our products as aggressively as my colleagues. it is really true on what i heard from a personal banker. today's market is not about meeting your customer needs, it is about selling them what you want them to buy to achieve your sales target. i think it is sad.

i think i am being contented..
