A typical outlook of my mornings in the lrt, I can see more people reading these days. Be it on their iPhone or simply any reading material. I believe that it is a good habit to take up as it updates you & if it’s a book, the author is basically bringing you to his thoughts, imaginations & even life experiences!

As this new year is here for the past 17 days, I’ve reclaimed back my blog as I can blog while I walk. (well not literally but as I’m on the go) . It will definitely gives me the flexibility, with quick & easy access as I’ve just download the iPhone ap, I think this is much easier & faster! Why haven’t I thought of it?

Now, while it’s a new year, new start, there should be a new goals, new achievements to be set!

While I ponder in December of the pass year 2010, there are quite a number of my resolution was achieved!
1) Determine to change my job
2) Lose some weight (which I did after I change my job); came as 2 in 1
3) Move house in 2011 (did it in the nick of time!)
4) Also to increase my knowledge.
(Attended 2 major seminar, which has definitely change my mindset on alot of things)

Now I need to set some new goals for 2011 to make it a fruitful year full of success & accomplishment

Cheers to 2011!!!

Do you believe you are a good manager? You may not be able to answer without making a self-analysis. In the process of doing so, you may learn whether you are a true manager or just someone who gives orders and hands out assignments. How your subordinates see you is important because their feelings may be reflected in their degree of co-operation and their productivity. Your success as a manager depends on whether your subordinates consider you an effective manager. When subordinates respect their managers, they plan and discuss problems with them. They go along with what their managers want them to do. Therefore, true managers build confidence and enthusiasm in their subordinates.

Character #1 – Results Focused (Pro-Active)
One of best things about being a sales person is you have a tremendous amount of freedom and discretion in how you use your time. In return, you must be able to stay focused on the big picture and not let small problems or dramas distract you.

Character #2 – Courageous
We all experience fear at one time or another. Great salespeople are courageous, in that they are able to act and move forward even in the presence of their own fears. Fear is the reaction we have when you know that you need to do something or that something is going to happen soon that you are not prepared for.

Character #3 – High Energy (Assertive)
The true top-performers got that way by working long and hard to beat out their competition while the other guys were enjoying themselves on the golf course. In short, you must be able to do “Whatever It Takes” to get to the top.

Character #4 – Good Network
The ability to establish rapport and maintain rapport is probably the single most powerful skill a salesperson can have. The most flexible people can adapt and establish rapport with others from a multitude of backgrounds and cultures.

Character #5 – Committed To Grow
Great salespeople got that way by always looking for a better way. They are always improving their approach, their techniques and their attitude. Great salespeople know that they must look for the best examples of excellence and adopt the individual aspects of this that they can use.

This is indeed a very good question. I have heard of this question since my schooling days, and this is one of the oldest and most famous riddle still in use in the English history.

Looking back, some say that it was a test of the chicken’s health and growth capability. However, on the lighter side of things, there is quite a debate on this. Onto why did they use “chicken” instead of any other animals for this riddle, was it that “duck” was not invented yet?

Well, there is no right or wrong answer to this riddle, just a way on how you would to answer it to what i believe.

After procrastinating for about 3 weeks, finally I’ve submitted my tax! I did the figures last week however having to see that i still need to pay the government, i hesitated to finish and submit my tax. Leaving a 1 last week buffer to find whatever else receipt that hopefully appear which is income tax deductible.

Every year at around this time, you will start thinking and hoping you should have bought more books, did a medical check-up and keep whatever receipts. Hoping at the end of the year during the budget announcement things you bought / receipts you kept is income tax deductible.

But after a while getting over with the income tax, you tend to forget when you buy stuff, specially sports gear! Man and ridiculously, swim suits are NOT considered as sports equipment but shuttle cocks are…then swimmers will be thinking are we not taken seriously, or probably you’re in the wrong country to take up this sports. Cos badminton, football, bowling, squash are the few importance sports taken seriously representing the country and making fame for the country.

HOWEVER, you swimmers out there if you can win some medals back, then i bet probably the water in your pool can be tax deductible. This is life baby, life!! Its that Unfair hahaha….being evil here.
