Just like to think I am someone simple
Well, besides the moaning and groaning in grieving, I thought this is a good time for me to reflect on who I am and what I have become. I am someone's daughter, my client's agent, a self-employed trying to meet my sales targets (not every insurance agent is wildly rich).
With my dad's passing, work has become less of an importance. Not a good thing for my financial director ha. Come to think of it, work has never felt better. Now I feel no urge to meet so-called KPIs. I do what I can for those who really need. Sometimes I see how some of my peers sell their products I cringe. Perhaps I will share some questionable sales tactics someday.
I hope I don't get into trouble with the Financial Advisers Act or MAS. I repeat again I am NOT using this blog to sell my services or products.
Me and my world
I grew up in a relatively poor family in a HDB. Single daughter. Both parents worked hard to get the whole family along. As my parents were not around most of the days, my childhood memories was spent running around the void decks, visiting girl friends who had plenty more toys. My friends were all from neighbourhood schools, and this could have given me the basics for satisfaction with a simple lifestyle.
Somehow I scored well enough for university studies in Singapore. This few years I spent more on socialising than actual studying, and sure enough my results were not that great. Eventually this results only scored me numerous job interviews which called for "motivated individuals". Of course I swallowed up their wonderful stories of wealth, luxury and all the nice things.
I got sucked in by the peers who wore different dresses everyday, those who drove fancy BMWs, carried luxury accessories, holidayed to whichever country. Little did I know the sales targets these people hit in order to enjoy such perks. Still I carried on working hard... until my dad's passing.
So here I am. Just a little voice who is now very much alone.
