Good Mood

I am having a good mood for these few weeks :D
I'm not saying that I have been sad all this years, I'm trying to say that my spirits is high for these weeks.
I become very patient to my customer, even to the unreasonable one. Weird.
Is not because of reduced workload, for sure, because my colleague (contract worker) left us as her contract was not being renewed (sop sop), so now we are 3 person doing 4 person works, again. So how can my workload being reduced??
So is definately not because I'm having an easier job now.

I think Chinese New Year is one of the reason.
I will have a long holiday (due to forced leave also) for this coming CNY, some how I feel really happy with it. Not because of I'm going to meet anybody special, I guess is only because I can spend sometime at home with my parents and family.

I think what happens for the pass few months, mostly due to the world wide economy crisis, has big impact on me, do change my mindset a bit.
Company priority is "Sales Order" now. Boss is asking us to looks for more sales oppurtunity.
If this happen last year, I will sure start complain again: Technical support also need to do sales, then what our sales engineer going to do, we do everything but they got the comission, not fair not fair.
But now, I don't even complain and even start to think hard, how can I generate more sales? How can I smell any sales oppurtunity? How can I sell something when customer call in, even he is only asking for technical questions? How can I sell more when customer call in just want to buy a single thing? I'm so surprise, I become so passion. My brain always think of selling even though part of it still thinking about the technical request from customer.
I think this is also a way of staying positive.
Besides that, I guess the Agilent Sales Basics that I join recently, do help a bit. Is really just a bit, because, the training is about face-to-face selling. But at least I learnt that, when we are in an unusual era, we should do things DIFFERENTLY!
So I guess is time for me to try something new. Is not easy but is worth trying.
Anyway, bad economy time, when everything go slow, is also a good time to learn new things. So I'm trying new things and hope to pick up more soft skills.
I guess this boost up my spirit also. hehe

For sure this good mood will last until CNY, I will try to keep it until after CNY and as long as possible. Not only the good mood, the passion and the high spirit as well.
Keep up the good work, dear!

Happy New Year 2009!

大家（还是只是我而已）在战战兢兢中度过2007，以为十年一次经济风暴的预言失灵了。
谁知2008还没走完，全球金融风暴就发生了。
而且越演越烈，雪球越滚越大，很多行业都波及了。
五大美国银行，倒了三家。三大汽车巨头也即将倒闭。
除了美国之外，其他国家也有很多企业结束营业，或缩小规模。欧洲，英国，新加坡，日本，甚至中国。全球不知有多少人失业。有工作的，也不能幸免被减薪。
这一切还只是开头，现在看到的只是小儿科，前方的路还长呢！
（亲爱的，心脏要练强一点，不然会受不了。）
最近听到一个经济分析员说希望经济会在2010年好转。
我听了，快晕倒了！
那2009年哪？我们才刚要进入2009呀！怎么整个跳过？？Skip掉？那我可以用遥控器，按一下Fast Forward, 让我直接进入2010年吗！？
算了，妙想天开很难的，乐观面对比较容易吧？
适当的时候，真的要学一学鸵鸟，负面新闻少看一点，让日子好过一点 :p
当然那只是偶尔让自己休息一下，不可以永远逃避现实哦。
日子难过还是要过，天跌下来当被盖啦。
2009年，希望家人开开心心、健健康康，自己也一样喔！
