It was really interesting to see you all today in class.

Some were shy, some rushed into action. To sum it up, I really enjoyed today's session.
I liked the way some of you were so engrossed in recording your passage well that you did it again and again. Learning point? Spirit of Excellence.

I grew up with a spirit of Excellence. I didn't want to do just enough. Being mediocre was not me. To me, life is about giving my best shot because I only live once. I am glad I saw some of that in some of you today. 4B-ers, if you continue life with a spirit of excellence, I can assure you this: you will be the best that you can ever be.

When i sold houses, I didn't get paid commission. I was a salaried staff. i.e. whether I sold a house or not, i still got my pay. It was the property lull then and it was hard to clinch even a deal. I worked in that firm for 8 months and every month i made sure I sold a house. If I were a property agent then, my minimum transaction would have been at least $5k a month (based on the minimum rate of 1% commission, some gave 2% by the way). When I was about to leave the company, I transacted, on behalf of my company, a $4 million condo in town area. What is the point I am trying to prove here? NOt that I was a superb saleswoman but that I had drive and tenacity to not just pass my days in a laidback manner and get my due salary but to do my job really well.

I hope all 4B-ers get my drift. To succeed in life, you must set personal goals, personal targets and you must have the drive and perseverance to see it through. It is not good enough to just have dreams; there must be realistic steps that you have to undertake in order to achieve it.

I hope all 4B-er will have a spirit of Excellence. This is my input for the day. :)
