today i met a customer who treated me the shittiest any customer has ever treated me. in the blink of an eye, the experience made me question what i am doing with my life, my career, et al. where am i headed? what are my aspirations? is everything gone to the dogs? siao liao.

Being in the shoe of a business man usually leaves one in a better position to choose who to not deal with, but in the early years of the sales industry I found myself in a similar position. Learning from the experience, the one who needs the deal less will always have the upperhand over any negotiation. Let’s never find ourselves in such a compromising position again..
It’s true, the negotation weighing scale. I did briefly consider pulling out of the deal midway, but my mantra has been ‘exercise restraint’. and so i exercised restraint, held my tongue and checked my temper, and did what i had to do.
exercising restraint has always paid out for me eventually, in my opinion. in my youth, i was more often rash and impatient and did foolish things whenever i got hot and bothered about things.
perhaps it is a sign of maturity too.
yes, he will be back soon… exams lah…
