Online Class Notes (Tibo)

I met a previous customer and tried to find some opportunities to develop the marketing within my business.

it is not a good reaction. It is difficult to let go of pressure. Even sometimes the little things or some normal things. Other people will think just a little thing so why is Jason so worried about  it and gives some big reactions.

Within my career something is interesting

When I joined my first job. my first job I was a driver
A kind of taxi but it did not belong to a company, just a private one. You could get money really easily / simply.
you could wake up and  you could finish work anytime.

When people get money easily. 10-20K / month. I think in Shanghai this was not a bad salary. By that time I had some friends, colleagues or other people they always thought  people who get these kinds of opportunities are lucky because they don’t face the competition and they just need to finish their job and get money everyday.
But I didn’t agree. I just drove it several months and I felt it is not a good choice for me long term so I rented it to other people and got money for them.
It was less than if I used/operated  it myself . The amount was around 8K / month. But I thought that can let me get more freedom at that time to accumulate experience and improve for the future.

So I still remember I tried to explain to my elderly and I said if I still drive it for a long time I will never be more than a driver. / I don’t want to do this job for a long time
When I am 40.

Most of the parents they didn’t accept a young guy’s opinion.

They thought  what do you know? They thought that I was too young too simple.
I faced a hard pressure. All of them did not accept me to give up making money this way and just to joined an international company to learn how to become a salesman and the salary was really lower. So for now I really thank myself,
If I had not made that decision by that time by now I would still be a taxi driver and I just think about what kind of way for me gave me a better choice tomorrow to make more money. / that would have become my routine

So coming back to our topic. Most of the time I don’t want to think too much but if I don’t the world changes too fast and I wouldn’t  understand what will happen in the future.

I think it is relevant to my father’s situation.

I needed to support my family.
I have my own sale-steam and when it is  break time / when we take a break  we talk about interesting topic and they said, you are a Shanghainese and most are lazy because they have properties and they don’t like to change their life. You always think too much.

I want to have a simple house and grow vegetable and contact my friends

it can help me to go out some pressure -> release some pressure

when I meet a problem it can help me to see from  another angle.
