At about 9.30am, I received a call from a friend that one of my mentors had passed away.

He was my first mentor in life that guided me to the right path – faith in religion.  I’ve known him since I was 20 years old working in a same printing company.  He has grown from just an ordinary people to become a Community Leader.  At one time, he was heading an organization and even ran his own educational tuition centre.  I’ve known all his family members.

He was diagnosed to be suffering from an illness/disease that has been ranked in the top 10 in the category – Principal cause of Death in SG for 2007 (Statistics based on the MOH web sites).

As for us, life has to go on.  Everyone of us will definitely face death.  We live twice and die once.  As a believer in whatever faith we are in, we have to prepare and equip ourselves spiritually.

In Network Marketing, distributors come and go.  Some will "die" forever; some has to be "hospitalised", recovered and continue the business; some will seek medical advice, etc.  However, the NM leaders’ life’s has to go on.  These leaders are sometimes the mentors of other distributors. The business must be sustained.  They have to continue looking for prospects.  Do this NM leaders have a choice?

We have the right to decide what kind of life we want to live.  Unless we spread our wings, we will never know how high we can fly.  Every steps we take should be a lesson learnt and take it as an experience in achieving our goals in life.  Remember, our life has to go on….
