06 June New JourneyAs a short update. Sorry fo not updating for a long time, I am a bit lazy + busy. :P
This year I am promoted, of course extra responsibilities comes with it too. It is a new journey started!
I have just visited Dubai, the prosperous dessert country. Exotic!! and looking forward to my Paris trip in August. :)
And this pic is taken by Prudential in the awards night, when I went up to the stage, to receive the awards as the top 1% representative of the consultants. :)
It looks brilliant, right? ;) It is the best photo taken on that special day!
I just moved in new house at Simei -- however this time, I am not renting anymore! Yeah!
You are the most welcomed guest, if you want to pay a visit :) of course, when I finish unpacking, hehe :)
My work is always so much fully arranged, however it cannot stop life being beautiful! Nowadays everyday I have 4-5 interviews to conduct, sometimes even suprisingly to meet some familiar faces -- lovely juniors. Pleasant surprise.. :) sometimes I don't know them but they still can recognize me -- means I didn't change much! :)
However still want to advise the juniors if you are reading my blog. Some basic interview skills like, you should always talk more than the interviewer. You should be proactive, don't wait for the interviewer to squeeze the answer bit by bit.
Good to see some juniors have very good attitude, however most of them still need to develop more communication skills, and be more confident! hey we are scholars! :)
Btw, we are hiring financial consultants, with a basic pay of up to 3k, plus all the other rewards and incentives. please contact me at 9826 6672 if you want to know more! haha free advertisement here~~
Euro Cup is Coming, Good Luck Italy! :D
14 January ==2007总结篇==2008已经过了半个月了,终于拖到这时候,想要好好给2007一个总结,因为这真是不同寻常的一年。
一个突破:
TOP Adviser in MRO, Top Rookie Adviser (3rd runner up among 800 new advisers), Top 1% sales force in Singapore (rank 30th in Prudential Singapore),
MDRT (Million Dollar Round Table), double star club qualifier, Premier Adviser (Bronze)...
SO....This year i will be a part time traveller, have FREE trip to Genting, Vietnam, Paris (2 tickets), and Dubai (2 tickets to be)...
也许我写这些大家都会很Lost,这只是一个工作的成绩单,基本属于A+水平。对于我自己来说是一个突破,也是一个新的自我极限。2008,继续加油!
两次心碎:
不过都已经过去了,what did not kill you will make you stronger. 今年一年流过的眼泪比过去5年的总和还多,可是还是庆幸,最后没有选择放弃的我,得到的也比我曾经以为会得到的要多出许多。而且在这两次经历中,有个朋友一直陪在身边,给我安慰给我鼓励,我还没来得及说足够的感谢,这位已经在公司的前几天的集会中竟然首次当众高调地感谢我对他始终如一的帮助与支持,真是让人潸然泪下。得友如此,不亦悦乎?
三次出游:
一次自己去伦敦与韩同学汇合,两个星期远离压力与烦恼的日子是这一年中最开心的日子。第一次踏上欧洲的土地,被那个帝国的建筑,历史,文化,风俗深深迷倒,不觉两周就这样弹指一挥间,却留下太多美丽的回忆,快半年了还记忆犹新。顺便提一下,韩同学两个月的培训,获得了全球第九,亚洲第一的好成绩,真不愧对我的眼光,让我小小自豪一下,哈哈哈。
另外两次都是公司的奖励,丽星号油轮上大吃大喝3天2夜,曼谷也是,似乎公司奖励的出游每次或吃喝,或购物,总是与物质上离不开关系,不过也算是开了眼界,得了荣誉了。值得一提的是,两次老板都是与我双宿双飞,一开始以为这是惯例,后来老板说我是有史以来唯一一个和她共同食宿的下属,于是倍觉受宠若惊,感激涕零!
天,差点忘了,12月14号就在我以为我将这么着度过2007年的时候,韩同学给我跪下了。我让他平身了,没办法啊没办法。
2007 大事就这么几桩,草草记下,以免记忆力衰退以后写不了回忆录,就以此为据吧。谢谢观赏!
22 November 今天感恩节感恩节,每个11月的第4个星期四。 每到这时候,就会提醒我,不要认为我所拥有的一切都是理所当然的。每个我遇见的人,遇见的事,都会为我的生命,打造不同。
最应该感谢的是我的父母。年少轻狂的我们,也许只有越加长大,才越能理解父母的艰辛。每次看到那些悄悄爬满父母额头的皱纹,我不禁感叹光阴的飞逝。转眼间,女儿不在你们身边,已经5年了。
父母为我的每一个小小成就感到高兴,也为我的每次小小挫折感到担忧。可是对于父母,我却竟经常忽略。有时候忙于工作,很久才打电话回家一次,对此我真的感到内疚。
每次回到温暖的家,时间就过得特别快。感谢爸爸妈妈,世上我最爱的也是最爱我的人。此时忽然觉得,文字竟然是如此苍白,不能表达我万分之一的感情。
养育之恩岂是一句感谢就能带过的,我一定要做一个令你们骄傲的人。
刚刚过去的一天,也是我和亲爱的你在一起2年8个月的纪念日。这又是一个对我的生命意义非凡的人。
不知如何表达才会不显得矫情,但是经历了这么多,只有我们心里最明白吧。当一切浪漫,惊喜都归于平静,维系这份感情的,是包容、理解、支持、信任,这就是我们简简单单彼此依靠的真心吧。
期待更多精彩,在与你并肩同行的明天。
我也感谢你,我的Manager, Merry Riana。如果没有遇见你,我将会是在哪里?
虽然我知道Merry一定不会看到这些,看到了也不能理解中文,但是我真的从心底里感谢,与你的偶然相遇,改变了我的人生航线。 在你的身上,我学会乐观,学会坚持,学会自信,学会勇敢。Merry于我,亦师亦友,我珍惜我们相处的每一分钟。我失落的时候,你从不吝惜从你繁忙的日程中抽身,陪伴我安慰我;我取得一点点进步,你也都看在眼里,肯定我鼓励我。这样的老板,这样的朋友,这样的姐妹,真的是一份生命中的恩赐了。 我对自己说,我一定不会让Merry失望,一定不会,永远不会;你为我所作出的一切,都不会白费,有一天,我会成为你,Merry Riana, 最为骄傲的一员! 感谢我的每一个客户,感谢你们对我的信任与支持; 也感谢每一个拒绝我的人,感谢你们让我做到一个更好的自己; 感谢每一个带给过我欢笑或泪水的人。 生命有你们才完整。 当然了,也要感谢正在读这篇日志的你,感谢你愿意驻足聆听,我生活中的点点滴滴。 那就不如留下点足迹,让我知道你来过吧。=) 26 October Share A Story: Carrot, Egg or CoffeeThis is a meaningful story, and thanks to my best colleague fren who sent it to me. do spend sometime to read it if you happen to visit here. You will never look at a cup of coffee the same way again... A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her.
She did not know how. she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting
and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water. In the first, she placed carrots, in
the second she placed eggs and the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil
without saying a word.
In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a
bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed
it in a bowl. Turning to her daughter, she asked,"Tell me what do you see?"
"Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied.
She brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they got soft.She
then asked her to take an egg and break it.
After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg.
Finally, she asked her to sip the coffee. The daughter smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma. The
daughter then asked. "What's the point, mother?"
Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity--boiling water--but
each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard and unrelenting. However after being
subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin
outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But, after sitting through the boiling water, its inside
became hardened.
The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water they had
changed the water.
"Which are you?" she asked her daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you
respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?"
Think of this: Which am I?
Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity, do I wilt and become soft and lose
my strength?
Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit,
but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and
stiff?
Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and a hardened
heart?
Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that
brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean,
when things are at their worst, you get better and change the situation around you.
When the hours are the darkest and trials are their greatest. Do you elevate to another level?
How do you handle Adversity? ARE YOU A CARROT, AN EGG, OR A COFFEE BEAN?
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough
sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; They just make the most of
everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past;
you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches. MAY WE ALL BE COFFEE! 22 October Something about CareerToday in church, Pastor Melvyn talked about "Career", and it really enlights me in some ways.
It is said there is 1/3 of the people out there hate their jobs, because many people cant find fulfillment in their jobs.
I thank God I am not the 1/3..
But even within the 2/3, most of them are enduring their work.. but thank God I am enjoying...:)
When pastor talk about "How can we show excellence in my work", I find it is interesting:
1)Hard work;
2)Honesty;
3)Honor your boss.
Hmm.. i think that is what I have done, am doing and will be doing.. maybe that is the reason why I am doing quite alright?
haha... I should not be contented or over-proud.
But I am still proud of myself, in career, while others are enduring, I am enjoying. :) Thank God for His plan for me!
last Wednesday, in the POWER HOUSE, we have sung this song, "IF WE HOLD ON TOGETHER"
Last time in "flying start", when I was singing I was full of motivation & strength; this time, the feeling is very different.
I like this lyrics:
Souls In The Wind, Must Learn How To Bend.
Seek Out A Star, Hold On to The End.
learn how to bend.
hold on to the end.
I said "yes" to myself, but tears said no, so they run out to protest..
after that, the whole ROCKIE wrote me a letter.
SK said I am the most focused person. (hmm...is it?)
ES said I am always amazing.(hmm.. sure?)
SC said I am his idol.(O, haha, *shy*)
DH said I will become another merry. (cannot let merry see this please)
.............
different people said different things; let me just remember them by taking down here.
but the most touching one comes from him I am not suprised at all:
"Hey Babe,
One word -- TOGETHER!
We'll go thru this and everything else, TOGETHER!!!"
Thank you, it really gives me strength, and although i know you will not visit here, but you always know what I am thinking.
Thank you for being there, my buddy & partner. proud of you. and proud of "P&G". we are always the best.
yes Monday comes! Let's embrace the new week with passion & energy! :D

It comes to the most crucial time of the year. Again! :)
Last year I have been a winner who sprint until the finishing line; this time I am expecting for more certainly!
Just want to motivate myself here: God never give us any problems beyond my capability to handle. any problems happened can only makes me stronger, and I will be a overcomer, every time, without fail! :)

Thank God for giving me a heart of forgiveness, Love & Gratitude.
Thank music who accompany me thru all these days.
Thank loyal friend who patiently spent time with me...
I will go through this pain.. Lord I am doing all I can to be a better man. I believe if I can survive after all this, I will only be better and better.
-- Lord, let your hands be upon me, keep me from harm, so that I will be free from pain --
-- DON'T WORRY AND DON'T ANYHOW GUESS. MAYBE IT'S TOO LATE NOW SO JUST TAKE ALL THESE AS DREAM WORDS.--
-- NO CHANGE IN LIFE -- 07 January 2007, A Year of Victory好久没有写些什么了。觉得挺遗憾的,在过去的那特别的一个月里面,感觉像是打了一场仗。而我却都没能把自己的生活记录下来,将来回想,又能记起几分?
这场战役,最大的敌人是自己,而我现在可以自豪地说,我是一个凯旋的将军!
每天日以继夜地打电话,做Roadshow,约见客户;一次次的被拒绝,被打击,被不理解.. 这些辛苦,现在回头想想都是值得的。而且,让我心存感激的是,许多朋友的精神支持与雪中送炭。没有这些挫折,就没有我的成长;而没有这些朋友,就没有我今天的战果。小小的成就没有什么可以炫耀的,但是我自豪的是,我又一次超越了自己的极限。
战地报道且让我以后再提。只是不能不提的是,最近我常常想起高考那时的自己,被一个目标一直激励着。那时每当想偷懒的时候,一想到我的目标,便又再一次精神抖擞。那段时间的自己,单纯的可爱,执著的可爱,就是这样,不知不觉间甚至超越了自己原来的目标。
似乎是很久,都已经没有再一次那样的体验了。习惯于了空头支票,习惯于了纸上谈兵。在一个月前的一次反思中,我问自己,我是不是还能再做一次,真正超越自己的目标?
于是我告诉同事我以前的故事,我告诉他们:"If I am really motivated, No one can stop me, but only myself. I have tried it out. I am serious."
有一个声音在跟我说:"You should Follow the promise you've made. If you are really serious."
于是有了那紧张刺激屡败屡战的一个月。终于,再一次,我又成功了!我又找回了曾经失落的自己!我自信地说:"Yeah! I've made it! I made my goal serious and I have hit it!"
当所有的荣耀已经属于2006,在这新年之际,我们又要开始做新的一年的计划与目标。别让我们的Resolusion成为空谈、梦想;一年到头后,只是空悲切那蹉跎的一年。
人生的故事还有很长,我在想,如果我们能把其中的每一个目标都make it serious,不管最终成功与否,生命将成为一首凯歌。 04 December I M Possible27 days to the year end.
The only thing I feel now is: STRESS.
because now I am on track to my goal.. it is so near yet so far.
There are so many anxiety and uncertainty on the way. Fear, doubt & inconfidence. 我是真的很害怕。everyday my brain just focus telling me how much shortfall i still need to clear, sometimes even cannot fall asleep.
But I tell myself, cannot give up, I have come so far, don't throw it away! To reach the goal means so much to me, and to my loved ones.
December, a "workholic month" for me! 拼了拼了拼了! impossible = I M Possible.
I will change the life before life changes me.
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." -- Matthew 6:33
23 November IF I COULD REACH, HIGHER!!REACH -- Gloria Estefan
Some dreams live on in time forever
Those dreams, you want with all your heart And I'll do whatever it takes Follow through with the promise I made Put it all on the line What I hoped for at last would be mine If I could reach, higher Just for one moment touch the sky From that one moment in my life Im gonna be stronger Know that I've tried my very best I'd put my spirit to the test If I could reach Some days are meant to be remembered Those days we rise above the stars So I'll go the distance this time Seeing more the higher I climb That the more I believe All the more that this dream will be mine If I could reach, higher Just for one moment touch the sky From that one moment in my life Im gonna be stronger Know that Ive tried my very best Id put my spirit to the test If I could reach If I could reach, higher Just for one moment touch the sky I'm gonna be stronger From that one moment in my life I'm gonna be so much stronger yes I am Know that I''ve tried my very best I'd put my spirit to the test If I could reach higher If I could, if I could,If I could reach Reach, I'd reach, I'd reach I'd reach I'd reach so much higher Be stronger 18 October Don't give upOhhh.. How to describe these days.. Bear with me, probably my blog is boring now, but I really need to motivate myself day after day..
It is probably the lousiest time I ever had before. two clients are waiting to cancel their plans, even I already spent a lot of time in servicing them; and I sense I started to lose confidence in myself.
Since in bad mood, today in roadshow I tried many times but still not on the track of working. I never find life is so challenging before. I don't want my colleagues being negatively influenced by me, so i just hide myself in a corner and cry for a while. It is not the first time I cry after joining this line, but it is indeed the first time i feel myself so vulnerable and helpless!
Tears and fears are inevitable; but anyway, let bygones be bygones. tomorrow, I will switch on the "working mode", die die must close case! because I want to be committed into my goals, and I want to make the people who is caring for me, be proud of me.
hey gal, don give up! so many dreams are await to reach, so many miracles are await to happen. don't complain, don't grumble, and don't quit! be strong, be bold, and I am not alone.
God, I ask for your mercy and help. sometimes when I feel I cannot, please just let me know, I can!
I WILL NOT GIVE UP
I WILL NOT GIVE UP
I WILL NOT GIVE UP
I WILL NOT GIVE UP
I WILL NOT GIVE UP
I WILL NOT GIVE UP
I WILL NOT GIVE UP
That's the commitment to myself! TOMORROW I WILL BE BACK!!!!!!! 01 October 4 o'clock MiracleLast week is a very tough week, yet I have had a breakthrough and learnt something invaluable indeed.
I haven't been closing any cases for nearly three weeks. can say that I almost forgot how to close case already. When I am wondering how could it be, my confidence is also dropping to ever the lowest. I started to doubt myself, is my choice wrong?
After getting prospects sitting down one after another but without any production, i really become very fearful. so everytime once got ppl sit down with me again, i have the poverty mindset already.. that means from the beginning I never expect I can close the prospect. I feel so sad especially after five-day hougang roadshow, see colleagues are closing with flying colors, but myself how come so lousy.
When i felt tears intended to rush out of my eyes, I asked God, it is written: Ask and it will be given to you. but why not give to me?
God says, "Not by might, not by power, but by the Spirit."
I suddenly realised something. through the one month I have learnt a lot of skills in doing sales, but some times I focus too much on the skills itself, yet lost my own advantage, that is the energy level.
Saturday before I was working, I tried every methods to make myself feel energized & motivated. It is the last day and i really want to break the "zero" in hougang.
Finally it turns out to be a big victory. I am an overcomer again!
Remember in Matthew 14:25, Jesus walking on the water at four o'clock at night.
Why he perform this miracle at 4am, not any other time?
because it is the darkest time of the whole day.
Miracle can always happen when you feel desperate.
Jesus is always there, carrying me to go through the hardship.
Next time, I will tell myself, Don't give up. Miracle will happen at 4am!
26 September hahaJust want to say to everybody who read it:
When u came across someone on the street, who asking u to help to do survey, don't reject in a rude manner. Making a life is really not easy.
Today i told myself, cannot eat dinner unless i close a case in the roadshow. then, sadly, I didn't manage to get case closed, as a result, i cannot have dinner until 12 midnight when I went back home.
Life is tough. It takes time. But don't let life change u; u can change the life!
So I determined, tomorrow I am still going to be energized, happy & cheerful. No Matter How Much Rejection I Need to Take.
It is just a choice to be happy. My friend, why not let's CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY everyday?! It is wonderful! 17 September FAITH
This lady is my manager, Merry Riana. She is the cover lady of the recent <Career Central> Magazine.
She is a fantastic leader + mentor, whom I admire, love, and am proud of.
One day she just stared into my eyes, and said
"Prudence, because I have faith in you."
Wept... Wept... Wept...
Before that sentence, I could feel discouragement and frustration sometimes everyday.
But after that sentence, what I can feel is only -- I want to do everything that I can to make her proud of me.
Merry she said she has faith in me.
Should I lose faith in myself?
Every obstacle is a stepping stone towards success.
Whenever I feel tired, want to give up, or give excuses to slack, I will think of that day, that time, that lady said to me:
"Prudence, I have Faith In You!"
01 September Will Be BetterI decided to use this place as a motivational diary.
These days are extrodinarily tough. Most of my appointments are cancelled or postponed. When I doing calling I feel I am weak to face rejections. I am a bit desperate and many times I want to cry. my emotion is down and my spirit is low. How can it be? i am still wondering.
this week i have no production at all. but actually i expect that i can make a great deal before birthday as a gift to myself. now seems impossible. Anyway got so many things to settle, not only my job, also SM2, etc.. I feel i am exhausted some time. first time I don't expect my birthday at all! a bit disappointed about myself.
Yes many times in life I feel I am weak. But I overcame them one after another. I believe this time I am still an overcomer.
I must cheer up! I hope everything will get better. My hope is in the Lord. 22 August Living my life, Loving my life---TO THOSE WHO MAY CONCERN
I am gonna talk about my working life so far... It is sooooo good! Never dreamt of such an incredible career!
Frankly speaking I have never thought of being with an insurance company before. I thought it is the incapable ppl who goes there, because they cannot find job elsewhere. I also join insurance kind of no choice, since cannot find my favourite one and dont want to compromise. then join lor, see how.
It really turned out to be a miracle. I find myself really fall in love with this job, since I have such a great team, great manager, great career that can makes me a great person!
I start to learn how to take rejections. I know I am growing through all these;
I start to challenge myself. I feel motivated all the time;
I start to understand. to understand why God is "unfair", as what i thought before;
I start to recognize and appreciate the career. I know only the most courageous can afford going into it, to reach out for dreams.
I start to love the dream team. I sense the support, love and great help from my colleagues.
Thank God brings me out of the darkest time. now I know where am I. I am enjoying working and realise that I am a workholic, haha. Everynight i get home at midnight, then the second day are those brand new challenges ahead. Such a beautiful life for me!
Thank you, my manager, Merry Riana, you are my role model, my inspiration and my teacher. My words are not enough to express my gratefulness to you. You are just there in my career, like my mother in my life, like Shao Qi in my spiritual being.
Thank you, my dear sisters. Your understanding and support is invaluable to me. Ruth, you are the one always caring, always listening, always understanding...yaoyao, sometimes i didn't share much to u because I don't feel like burdening you, since you are just in university maybe cannot sense what i was sufferring...but all the time you are just there support me, so sweet and so cheerful! Shao Qi, no need to say, you are the witness of the whole journey. without you, my life would have been tougher. all the sisters, thanks for the prayer and concerns. I am back as what I was!
Thank you, my darling. these time have been difficult for me, also not easy for you. sorry that I may ignore you sometimes because of the intensive working hours, but I hope some day I can make up for that. thank you for always being there.
Thank you, my friend. if you are looking at this article, i know you are concern about me. so happy. =) 03 August 这个就是皮耶罗(ZT)
