Welcome to Breakthroughs in Life!
In summer of 1993, I stumbled upon a multi-billion group of companies that sell packages of Investment and Insurance plans pre-programmed to meet future needs like Pension & Retirement, Education, and Memorial services.
The 6-month probationary contract I entered into with the company as an Independent Entrepreneur taught me good lessons more than it made me richer selling intangible items.
A kind of revealing encounter and at the same time eye-opener took place in a training hall where a gathering of sales people would spend a whole week of rigid training in character building, career development and professionalism in sales and marketing of future promises on paper. Little wonder that the multi-billion group of companies hired a trainor like Mr. Yuppy. For one thing, I personally got impressed with Mr. Trainor's deductive style and approach in delivering his subject matters. Not only that he has got the Big Picture of what and how the Investment and Insurance Industry works, but he has the assertiveness and the objectivity that leave no room for his audience to doubt he really meant business.
Fortunately, I got the chance to have a one-on-one talk and exchange of thoughts and views with Mr. Trainor during our free time. Perceiving that he really made it to the top in his chosen career path, I asked him a straightforward question, "Sir, what have you found and how does it feel living at the summit of your achievement?" As though starlit came flashing from out of the dark, Mr. Trainor's confession made me think twice and over again when he answered, "IT IS LONELY UP THERE, YOU KNOW!"
Friend in the blogosphere, if you are happy with who you've become now, where you are and what you've already gotten, y0u must be so blest to have ascended up the RIGHT SUMMIT of Joy, Peace, Love, Wisdom, Good Health and Prosperity.
KEEP UP!
