Empowerment comes from choice

was a very bored day since i had nothing to do. So, thinking that since i'd nothing better to do, why not make myself useful by doing things that better if not for myself, then for others. So i went into the classified to find for: JOB

Well, i should say, this definitely does not benefits me. I'm only free this week, even after my ORD i'm only free for a week before i left for another week of holiday, this is definitely not a responsible teacher's schedule. It was for my friends.

This is the interesting thing I realised RAMIT SEITHI once commented on his colleague, 'i don't understand why so many people fear to make a direct phone calls...' And yes, i used to do that, but now i don't.

Well, I pass her the number and she's a powerful resistor to make the phone call. The first thing I ask her before i start 'exploding' with encouragements at her is ' why are you so reluctant to make that call?' I think all of us remember most of the first time of everything and some first time i'll never forget in my whole life. And i believe everyone remembered their first phone call to the public, ok went quite well, until at some point it starts to get difficult. Well, she screamed at me 'What do I've to say?!' 'Well, you don't have to say anything, it's you asking them something!'

I think that many of us fear of making public phone calls are generally cos of lack in confident in building relationship with the speaker or thinking it might lead to another emberrassment. But one thing i noticed is that, THE SPEAKER THEMSELVES ARE THINKING THE SAME! So why not use that at your advantage? Moreover, to be honest, the speaker won't even remember who on Earth are we after the next hour or two, so that means we don't need any relationship with the speaker at all! ;)

What i think many did not know is that power comes with choice and hence to attain the certain power, you have to make the right choice. More than ever, the speaker over the phone is praying that you do not make the calls, so that means by making the call, it shatters the other party's prayer and you are already won two-fold, and the power is granted onto you already, unless the other person over the phone is like me, emotionless and cold, quite impatient to conversation with no purpose, so i think i don't fit in customer service at all ;)

To conclude, I hope that many more who read this finally realised that hey, making phone calls are not difficult after all. Got thing to ask, Nothing to ask, just do it. The party don't nkow who you are anyway. They might be thinking u re some mafia anyway.

Gonna make more calls soon, this one's for myself. Cheers! =)
