good attitude...NOT.

so there i was, just entered the washroom, minding going about my business when my phone rang.. i answered it as its not like there were any incriminating evidence save the hollow reverberations from being in a small enclosed space..

"hello. im calling from ABN AMRO and i would like to introduce to you our credit line. (or something similar lah)

"it has a low monthly interest of blah blah.. and a low annual interest of blah blah blah..

"may i know if youre currently self employed or working for some company?"


wahhh.. sound so professional leh. like very high class and atas.. but the moment i gave my answer...

"nah. im now a student."

"huh? oh. never mind then. its ok. thanks. bye."

fwah!!! when im no longer a potential customer then all the airs are turned off man. should start with a good impression and end with a good one right? even if it isnt beneficial to you.. maybe say something like

"oh. thats alright then. we cant introduce you to a credit line if you arent employed."

thats so much better than what was actually said lor!!

edit: heard from my friend that this is common place. most telemarketers dont bother putting in any effort if they cant get something out of it.. is this what our society has evolved into??

What this world has become is selfish. My needs trump anything that gets in the way. Nevermind you or your needs or anyone else's.

That's not what God commanded us to do: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Jesus said that keeping this is equal to keeping some of the Ten Commandments. Loving the God who gives us every breath that we take covers the rest, and is actually the motivation for loving one's neighbor.

You see, God is so good that, instead of giving us what we deserve for lying, stealing, hating each other, lusting, etc, God sent Jesus to take that punishment for us and to rise from the dead to give us eternal life on Judgment Day. Now, if we are grateful for that, we will forsake our sins, and, in light of what God has done for wicked people like us, we will be much more kind to our neighbors, whether we like them or not.
