New start for me…..
Saturday, January 6th, 20071 January 2007 that day…I received a call from my Mentor and business partner..I was shocked and surprised,,..they said that this coming Saturday I shall give the first part presentation in our business meeting…Oh..It was really a new year day for me… ha ha…although the last time I have done make-up workshop together with my other business partners, Pauline and Janice. But this time it is totally different and a new beginning for me…I was so worried that I cannot do well….but Susan Mentor and all my business partners gave me encouragement and support…" They said..they believed I can do it"…but I was still worried. I went home and quickly wrote down all the points and see the power points and start practising from time to time…ha ha until at night also think about this…:-) but I’m sure this was normal for everyone who did the first time…
I told my husband and my Andy boy..ask me to sing a song I can still pretend pretend I can. Ha! Ha! But to ask me to give a business presentation I was really worried…but my son said…mama you must do it …because if you do it you will become a Leader…Wah! I cannot believe that my son would encourage me like that…so at home both of them are my good audiences.
This week really was new week for me…first, my son start P1 journey. Everything have to be re-arranged..and get use to it …then I have to prepare my presentation..because I have no experience mah! …so if I have decided I want to do I must definately do it well so I practice and practice and practice…but it was good for me to break through…
I will forget the negative things that people have treated me and said to me…in the year 2006…so 2007 I shall start a new …for me and my family…I have always reminded myself this word..世事岂能尽如人意 但求无愧于心！…..for those people that said negative things, I shall not care it…I cannot always please everyone …….
So after the presentation..my business partners came to me and encouraged me. ..they said I did very well..but I shall always remind myself to do it well and improve it every time if I really have another opportunity….because in our TC has a lot of good speakers and they are very very experienced…and if I still have the opportunity to do it…I shall treat every time as my first time speech …..and communicated with our mentors and partners to improve myself every time…but from the stage I can see my husband and Andy boy so happy….wish next time i can see my hubby on stage too….
And how I wish my late dad could see me on stage today…I am sure he will be very happy and proud of me although some people might think it is not a big deal …but my dad love me so much and whatever I do he will fully support me …last time in Indonesia…I did drama, dancing, and was a Marching band leader ..he and my mum will always be around me ..support ing me…too bad he is not here anymore…Papa..I hope you at another world can see me on the stage not doing a performance … but giving a Business presentation…..really..I miss you Papa…one day I shall succeed and make you and mama proud…
Thank you mentors and partners who always support and encouraged me and give me this opportunity…although I was really worried for the last few days.. ha ha…thank you so much!!!!!
