Happy New 2009

Dear Wonderful People,

I would like to take this chance to share a personal story of mine. A friend of mine just cheated recently by a conman. Though its only a phone with little over 2k, the lesson was invaluable.

She was assistant of manager of a company. She is having a Pda kind of phone with all contact & appointment stored inside. She is having a appoinment with prospect 'client' (even doctors get cheated ok)

The guy, full suit, smart looking & suave - met her at a hotel lobby. When the discussion is almost over, he claim that his hp is dry on battery, and he ask for my friend hp. Dont worry - he did not take the phone & pretend making calls & just run off like that. He sms a lady - telling my friend he will sms his wife, so she could call back to the number & talk to her 'husband' (without wasting pple credit)

Moment later the phone rang, the voice said, can I speak to my husband and so therefore she pass the phone to him - naturally. He excuse himself and talk and walk and talk and walk into disapearance.....

Needless to say, my friend was left with the drinks bill & of course a brand new hp. Nothing could be done at the time.

With this story - we need to constantly on guard & caution with our surrounding. Its sadly that nowadays no one can be trusted at all (you all can trust me with ur hp). Couple with such times of next year, conman & crime will soar. Business everywhere is uncertain, change & transformation would be vital for survival.

A good friend of mine pointed out, people are too confort in doing what they are doing daily, that sometimes, a cycle of economy downturn is NOT always a bad thing. True, people get retrenched and there is no food on the table. But on the positive side, whoever can survive these time of the year, shows a lot about the character of someone. Him or her will emerge victorious & standing tall. It brings some of the inner quality out & change whatever you are doing - to a whole new level !

Did I suprise you? I hope not. I guess I would take a minute of your time to share a message from Zig Ziglar. Do not become a Wandering Generality, be a Meaningful Specific.

May the new year flood your home with warmth & happiness.
May the new year bring a landslide of wealth, love, strength & wisdom into your heart.

Merry Christmas my friend & Happy New Year to all of you. Have a safe, happy healthy & a good game of year 2009.

Warmest Regards,
Protoss
