I’m trying to close my eyes after taking some medicines. I thought I could rest and sleep but unable to do so. I was reading some notes from my scrap book and found this story that I felt was worth sharing. The story begins…

There was once a little boy who had a bad temper. His father decided to give him a bag of nails with a hammer and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.

The first day the boy had driven in 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learnt to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence…..

Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it. The father suggested that the boy now pulled out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The boy accepted the challenge.

The days passed and the young boy finally able to take out all the nails from the fence. He then informed his father on his achievement.

The father took his son by the hand, hugged him and led him to the fence, and said,”You have done well, my son, but look at the holes on the fence. The fence will never be the same again. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound will still be there.”

The moral of the story is ……

You think about it!

Just two days after they were born, the little one which we named Precious, passed away peacefully, leaving his parents and siblings. As expected, looking at his situation, all of us knew that the little kitten will not stay long. God answered our prayers. Why? Precious was not like his other siblings, he was born abnormal. Though, we focused on him, God loves him more than us.

Life has to go on. I’m wondering whether both JJ and Jane knew on his demised. My son cleaned him up and his body will be buried near our home. May God bless him always, Ameen.

In Network Marketing, people come, people go. Sometimes they die off along the way. At one time you might have many people under you, but at one go, you might have none. Whether they are your downlines, distributors or users, the numbers will fluctuate. However, life has to go on. You still carry on prospecting for people, talk to people, nurturing your people, train your people.

PS. Sometimes experience do really hurt; especially the traditional method of prospecting.

I was having a discussions with friends yesterday when I received an SMS from my daughter that Jane has gave birth.

No wonder, that morning Jane was behaving a bit different from normal days. She followed me in & out of my bedroom, around the house. Maybe. she was trying to tell me that the time has come, but, I was just ignoring her.

Jane was a beautiful cat that my son ‘picked-up’ at our apartment void-deck a year ago. She was just a little kitten then. How she got herself pregnant? One week before we found Jane, my son had actually rescued a male kitten when he was knocked by a car while crossing a road. It was a miracle that he survived! He was just a kitten too. We named him JJ. That’s how it all started.

Jane has given birth to 4 beautiful kittens. Aren’t they cute and lovely? Now, my family has grown. To be precise, 12 in total (6 cats). How are we going to look after them? It will be the same ways how we looked after their parents – JJ & Jane.

In Network Marketing, when you know how to manage your business and downlines, your organization will grow. Having four newly born kittens, is like having a new downlines.

Taking care of JJ & Jane was not an easy task. We have to do it together – it was a family effort – working as a team.

Network Marketing is a business that cannot be done on your own. It will only grow if you work in a team of dedicated people by following a system. Do not re-invent the wheel; just duplicate the system.

To my newborn kittens, welcome to the family and this world!

Cheers
