You can call me Noi! This blog consists of my thoughts. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! Like the charcoal, hot pressure and extreme heat must be present in order to create a Diamond. I am in the exact same process.

I just came back from PASE! It did not end late, I just took 1 hour to reach home, no thanks to public transport. Nevertheless, I actually enjoy taking the bus home at night. It is cold, quieter and simply serene. Tonights PASE was extra exciting than usual, not just because it was a combined PASE but also because there were so many pin breakers. Tonight, we celebrated Mei and Sing Lei being the brand new 12%ter and Hong Ming being the brand new 15%ter. When you have been building the business for quite some time, it can be a little dry. However, they were proof that consistency and persistency eventually pays in the end. I was so proud of them, especially Mei, whom we like to call Ribbon Girl. Hehe. As I hugged her my congratulations and said how I was so proud of her, she whispered in my ear, 'Thank you for all your leadership.'
Today, once again, my life was touched. There is simply no substitute for appreciation straight from the heart, like that.
I think I am going to start writing about the people in my life. You know, those who impacted me, in a positive way of course. I think I have been very blessed with the wonderful presence of some people in my life. They have been truly wonderful and I know that my life will not be the same if they did not existed. I shall dedicate one day a week to write about the chosen people. I think it would be a good tribute for them, to let them know that they are appreciated even if they do not necessarily read it. I have never wanted this blog to be all about me. Yes, I treat this blog as a channel of expression for myself, but still, I think it would be good to talk about others once in a while.
Anyway today I want to mention about Hong Ming, who definitely got the loudest cheer from the Britt team tonight. Going 15% is not easy, I have been there myself. But to do it, with such poise, that is just a winner. I have always been impressed with him since he joined the team. There was once, we were the only 2 people at phone team at Margaret’s place, and seeing that he was really the shy and quiet type, I started a conversation with him. You know, as crosslines, no business talk. Not long after we started talking, we realized that our birthdays fall on the same day! Even though it was not the same year, we were pleasantly surprised. After talking some more, we also discovered that our secondary schools were next to each other! Isnt that a wonderful coincidence? I even joked that maybe people born on this particular date have moles on their noses, which coincidently too, we both had 1.
I felt like I just met my twin.
I guess from then on, we seem to have a silent agreement to stay persistent despite challenges. I remembered once when he mentioned how he was so influenced by my words spoken at PASE that he will always remember that if a single lady can do this, he can definitely do this too. That is the spirit of a leader, one who ignores the challenges and focus only on the goals and dreams.
Seeing my twin recognized as pin breakers were of course a joy. I am truly amazed by the humility. How can an engineer remain being so humble and down to Earth? I was just wowed.
I would give up anything to have an IBO like that. Trust me, if he was of the same race and religion as me, I would stalk him. Haha!
Tonight too, someone shared this:
It is not good enough that we do our best.
It is important to do what is required- Winston Churchill
You know how when people fail, and they say it is ok because they have done their best? I still remember what Hamid told me when I was new in this business. He asked me how do I know I have done my best? How do I measure it? How do I know that I cannot do better than what I think was my best?
It made sense.
The point is, a lot of people put an unconscious limit on themselves when they say that they had done their best. What is best anyway?
I know that I feel like I had done my best at some point of my life, but I just want to shake off that mentality. My best is what I have not accomplished. My best is unknown, a mystery that is desperately waiting for itself to be discovered. So when I achieve my best, I will rise above the ordinary, excel at multiple possibilities, soar to new heights and stand tall and high so that I can finally enjoy the breathtakingly beautiful view that was once promised. That view is real, real enough to exist in my reality.
Now I just have to continue climbing. I cannot let go. I will fall.
I must not give up, give in or lose hope. For I am carrying with me, little eaglets, all eager to learn how to soar high in the sky. Their time to soar will come, but for now, I need to soar first.
