有史以来最厉害的售货员

an inspiration for the sales person out there.. maybe law can imitate his skills... ha

一个乡下来的小伙子去应聘城里“世界最大”的“应有尽有”百货公司的销售员。老板问他:“你以前做过销售员吗?”

  他回答说:“我以前是村里挨家挨户推销的小贩子。”老板喜欢他的机灵:“你明天可以来上班了。等下班的时候,我会来看一下。”

  一天的光阴对这个乡下来的穷小子来说太长了,而且还有些难熬。但是年轻人还是熬到了5点,差不多该下班了。老板真的来了,问他说:“你今天做了几单买卖”“一单,”年轻人回答说。“只有一单?”老板很吃惊地说:“我们这儿的售货员一天基本上可以完成20到30单生意呢。你卖了多少钱?” “300,000美元,”年轻人回答道。

  “你怎么卖到那么多钱的?”目瞪口呆,半晌才回过神来的老板问道。

  “是这样的,”乡下来的年轻人说,“一个男士进来买东西,我先卖给他一个小号的鱼钩,然后中号的鱼钩,最后大号的鱼钩。接着,我卖给他小号的鱼线,中号的鱼线,最后是大号的鱼线。我问他上哪儿钓鱼,他说海边。我建议他买条船,所以我带他到卖船的专柜,卖给他长20英尺有两个发动机的纵帆船。然后他说他的大众牌汽车可能拖不动这么大的船。我于是带他去汽车销售区,卖给他一辆丰田新款豪华型‘巡洋舰’。”

  老板后退两步,几乎难以置信地问道:“一个顾客仅仅来买个鱼钩,你就能卖给他这么多东西?”

  “不是的,”乡下来的年轻售货员回答道,“他是来给他妻子买卫生棉的。我就告诉他‘你的周末算是毁了,干吗不去钓鱼呢?’

Before i go off...

before i go off... just some random emotion and thoughts.

it is frustrating to receive no reply on the question asked. however, it just seem unappropriate to show the frustration. maybe it is just the way people used to response... wonder what in people mind too.

while some heart is open toward sharing, some is closed.

while i am excited about new job, i wish to spend more time with some soon-to-be-ex-colleague.

good chat with hui xin, may her path be guided by the Almighty, though she yet to know the Almighty.

good time with Poy. Thank God for brother like him.

thank God for lawrence, bring me to come to know a bit more about a shepherd's heart.

thank God for Kim, suddenly called me up, a call that warm the heart.

thank God for the great chinese worship album that i just bought...

A song from the live worship album. a beautiful composed based on Psalm 139.



歌词:
主耶和华,你已经鉴察了我。
我坐下,我起来,你都已晓得。
我行路,我躺卧,你都细察,
你也深知我一切所行。
我舌头上的话,你没有一句不知道。
你在我前後环绕着我,按手在我身上。
这样的奇妙,是我不能测透,
你的至高你的尊贵,是我永远不能所及。

我可以往哪里去躲避你的灵?
我可以往哪里去逃可躲避你的面?
我若展开清晨的翅膀飞到地极,
就在那里,你的双手也必引导我。

Psalm 139 For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.

1 O LORD, you have searched me
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD.
5 You hem me in—behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, [a] you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

詩 篇 139
1 ( 大 衛 的 詩 , 交 與 伶 長 。 ) 耶 和 華 啊 , 你 已 經 鑒 察 我 , 認 識 我 。 2 我 坐 下 , 我 起 來 , 你 都 曉 得 ; 你 從 遠 處 知 道 我 的 意 念 。
3 我 行 路 , 我 躺 臥 , 你 都 細 察 ; 你 也 深 知 我 一 切 所 行 的 。
4 耶 和 華 啊 , 我 舌 頭 上 的 話 , 你 沒 有 一 句 不 知 道 的 。
5 你 在 我 前 後 環 繞 我 , 按 手 在 我 身 上 。
6 這 樣 的 知 識 奇 妙 , 是 我 不 能 測 的 , 至 高 , 是 我 不 能 及 的 。
7 我 往 哪 裡 去 躲 避 你 的 靈 ? 我 往 哪 裡 逃 、 躲 避 你 的 面 ?
8 我 若 升 到 天 上 , 你 在 那 裡 ; 我 若 在 陰 間 下 榻 , 你 也 在 那 裡 。
9 我 若 展 開 清 晨 的 翅 膀 , 飛 到 海 極 居 住 ,
10 就 是 在 那 裡 , 你 的 手 必 引 導 我 ; 你 的 右 手 也 必 扶 持 我 。

Now this is eternal life

still remember those days that we read about or hear about a old old saying: "someone eat too much instant noodle, when he died, the body well perserve, because of the preservative."

i first learn about this lame stuff from 老夫子.. not sure some of the younger people still know this comic character. one of my favorite passtime during my primary school day. also widely available at those barber shop while waiting for cutting hair

eating instant noodle, and the body perserve forever?

this remind me of what Jesus said, "Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." Jesus offer an alternative of preserving forever, the best part of this plan is, we may know the only true God.

so, next time when i eat instant noodle again, i will say, "now this is eternal body in making, that those who eat a lot of instant noodle the body shall be preserved."

All I Ask Of You



Raoul

No more talk of darkness,
forget these wide-eyed fears;
I'm here, nothing can harm you,
my words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom,
let daylight dry your tears;
I'm here, with you, beside you,
to guard you and to guide you.

Christine
Say you'll love me ev'ry waking moment;
turn my head with talk of summertime.
Say you need me with you now and always;
promise me that all you say is true,
that's all I ask of you.

Raoul
Let me be your shelter,
let me be your light;
you're safe,
no one will find you,
your fears are far behind you.

Christine
All I want is freedom,
a world with no more night;
and you, always beside me,
to hold me and to hide me.

Raoul
Then say you'll share
with me one love, one lifetime;
let me lead you from your solitude.
Say you need me with you, here beside you,
anywhere you go, let me go too,
Christine, that's all I ask of you.

Christine
Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime.
Say the word and I will follow you.

Together
Share each day with me, each night, each morning.

Christine
Say you love me...

Raoul
You know I do.

Together
Love me, that's all I ask of you.

Anywhere you go let me go too

Love me... that's all I ask of you.

1 month

1 month.

blood is thicker than water, and Spirit is thicker than blood.

and all who is in Christ say, "AMEN!"

i hope i 失恋了,but i dun have...

Neoh: 凡事尊主为大 - PTL for another bro He added to the group!! says:
失恋了?

*sensored* -Don't cry for me Argentina says:
i hope i 失恋了,but i dun have

ha ha. just another crap conversation with one dear bro. "i hope i 失恋了,but i dun have" sounded more miserable than 失恋了... But anyway, it is good that we are shielded from those pain and agony...

share about my new found job.. at Philips. Thank God and praise Him for the open door to Philips. Though I am still a bit apprehensive about this major change of direction... Was reminded about what the author of one book said, "sometime if we insist our way, God will give way, though it is not in His plan.. just tat we missed the best.. ", this one not just apply in relationship matter, i know... Really pray that this change is really His will...

For I know the plan I have for you, plan not to harm you, but to prosper you and to give you hope and future... God, may this is part of your plan for me. I shall just trust and do my utmost best to figure what is instored.
