Push

its 1am on a saturday night and im still trying to recover from being sick. im at a point where i just said this sucks and started drinking. lol i know half of yu are agreeing with me that that is the best way to cure feeling sick and down, the other half is sayin im stupid. what can i say, sometimes alcohol just makes things carefree. in any case, i just want to say that i appreciate all the good feedback from my friends. thank yu. my cousin said "now yu gotta come back with something else to match that" (or something like that, i forgot the exact words lol but along those lines) and it has been a couple days since this post and i told myself if i started this, i would post often. that clearly wasnt the case. so now after a long week of work and being sick, i guess this would be a better time then never. when i was at work today, (reminder: i am a jewellery sales person) i started to realize my mind state of a sales person relates to life in general. life isnt easy and alot of the things in life that we want, aren't easy to obtain. for example, maybe a nice car, a person we like, a well paying job we would like, etc. no one ever said growing up was going to be easy. but as one grows older, they tend to realize that almost everything yu want out of life, must be earned. nothing ever just easily falls on your lap with a bow and ribbon tied on top (unless i guess if your born rich. but i wasnt). when im at work, i make the most comission from selling warranties. i started to notice what seperated me from other co-workers. they felt that its a lost cause asking someone to buy warranties because people mostly say no. its true, most of the time yu don't need a warranty and most people will always say no. however as a salesperson, yu are required to make that effort to sell it (plus its money in your pocket). so once a customer says no, the salesperson concludes the final sale. now what if i were to push in this scenario. i say i understand... however, yu should understand that ... etc etc... (yu dont want to hear the whole speech) but the point is i pushed for it and alot of times people will change their answer to yes. obviously yu cannot be aggressive with customers but yu still must somehow put in the extra effort to sell it. take for example a guy goes into a nightclub. he sees so many beautiful women he would like to meet, yet he is shy. he assumes every girl will say no and he will look like a fool. he hangs out the whole night and ends up leaving with no numbers or even a introduction. now another guy who is more or less the same, comes into the nightclub. hits on 10 women through out the whole night. he has confidence and he cares less for rejections because certain girls will say no, no matter what. but he goes for it anyways. i dont think i need to explain much further into the story. say even if he got rejected by most of those girls. he was bound to get at least one. and that makes 1 vs. none with the first guy. just like in life, if yu want a nice car.. yu gotta push for it. make more money and save more without spending so much on unneccessary purchases. if yu want that person yu like. call them. try to stay in touch with that person as much as possible or do something that would put a smile on their face. show them yu care enough to put in that effort. yu'll never know unless yu try. things wont just come falling in your lap wrapped in a bow and ribbons. lol if its that job yu like, speak to a manager. callback for a follow up. and when yu have them in the interview, do whatever it takes to close the sale. yu are the only one who can grab a hold of your life and change the outcome. now don't get me wrong.. some of us believe in fate.. and things happen for a reason. and its true.. but wouldn't yu still like to have at least a bit of control of your life? it is YOUR life in the end isn't it? (push = hustle, grind. whatever yu wanna call it) if success and happiness was easy, then everyone around us would have it. but we dont. so we gotta push for it. dont take no for an answer (obviously dont become an asshole stalker or crazy when referring to getting that person yu like. thats just wrong. use your DISCRETION. lol yu get the point) failure should never be an option. just push.
