mr. nice guy

*
have you ever wondered..

sometimes life works in mysterious ways.. some people have it so easy, and yet some have to struggle so hard..

I know of a person..a really great guy.. funny, charming, intelligent, hardworking, reliable, independent, book smart & street smart ..all the qualities that I like la kan..

iklan jap: most people that I know yang book smart (as in bijak pandai dalam theory/academic – good in maths, kaki score etc) are not street smart (contohnya macam tukar tayar kereta, cat dinding, pandai cari duit, as in excellent business sense)

Ada pulak yang street smart tapi tak book smart. Ada juga yang kedua-duanya fail..lagi kesian.
To be able to be both book smart and street smart is, AMAZING.

(oh..looks like I have to make another entry solely on that..no offence to anyone..
sesiapa terasa..too bad for u! alaaa, no one reads my blog pun...hahahaha)

anyway sambung balik cerita…about this guy I know..I’ve never heard him complain. Orang suruh dia buat apa2 pun, he will do..beli makanan, potong rumput, basuh kereta, lukis floor plan layout, shop for groceries, jadi emcee, buat senamrobik in front a lot of people, buat ni, buat tu.. tapi dia sekali pun tak pernah mengeluh, tak pernah say no. I guess that’s why wherever he works or wherever he goes, he has such a powerful impact, he touches the hearts of those around him. Semua orang sayang dia.

Especially masa dia buat MLM (multi level marketing)..adalah this company..it’s reaaally good..the system, the people.. (X0…G!!!!)

iklan lagi: it really pisses me off when people say MLM ni skim la, direct selling la..takkan berjaya la..
it also makes me laugh out loud.. please don’t judge if you don’t know what you’re talking about..
wei buat dulu la baru tau..just because you tried and failed in one company, doesn’t mean it’s the same everywhere. different companies, different bonus system, different work culture..if you dah buat sehabis baik and ikut system tapi tak berjaya gak, then only you can say “it’s not meant to be”

ok sambung.. so I knew this guy when he was doing the MLM business.. and I was (and still am) in total awe of him..(dahla he’s 4 years younger than me)..hahaha..


but when we were first introduced, I thought he was 25, 26.


He thought I was 19 (blush blush).


His brother was also there.. I thought he was the abang (sebab dia ni kan..gaya so abang2 you know..dia macam ada aura yang protective).. so rupanya yang dengan dia tu abangnye, si dia ni adalah adik.. tapi dua2 suara bass.. Barry White katanya..


both of them memang kelakar..and that’s how we met..


He was astoundingly matured for his age (masa tu dia 21).. and everyone looked up to him..and admired him so much..


The way he gave his presentation, the way he motivates, membakar semangat, a great listener, baik hati, sanggup buat apa saja for his uplines, downlines and sidelines..
Ke mana saja dia pergi, his wide grin, his infectious smile and his big booming laughter sure can brighten up someone’s day..

Ni pula antara comment2 yang orang cakap pasal dia. Please note that these are comments from people who are very experienced, in MLM and also in life..veteran katanya.

I know all this sebab saya ni agak busybody hahaha.. telinga mass comm, i would say. mungkin juga saya berpeluang lepak with all the otai2.

But most importantly because I LIKE HIM, that’s why I’m always alert when his name was mentioned :)

Berikut adalah petikan komen2:

Crown Manager Aseng: budak ni boleh pergi jauh.. he’s gonna be a success story satu hari nanti.. aku tak heran kalau dia boleh berjaya lagi cepat drp aku (Aseng took 4 years in this MLM company to work his way up and earn RM70k a month)


Crown Manager Tambun: dia ni born leader.. potential sangat tinggi.. pegang dia, dia sangat influential..he is an asset (memesan kepada upline si dia ni, iaitu DM Mr. K)

Crown Manager Kak Ida & Kak Ita: kalau mintak tolong, dia mesti tolong..dia ni je lah yang aku boleh harap..he gives more than 100%.. paling bersemangat, paling best, gilo macam kitorang gak..a fine young man..siapa kahwin dgn dia memang sangat bertuah!

Diamond Manager Apai: bagus la dia ni..tak pernah tengok dia masam atau kusut atau stress..ceria je.. beb, apa rahsia ko?

and many more..oh man terlalu banyak sebenarnya.. I can write a whole book on the many good things said about this guy… unbelievable..

Even sekarang ni kat tempat keje dia pun, semua orang sayang dia..the seniors puji dia, the sifus also puji and sayang dia..and he’s only been there for less than 3 months.

if he doesn’t continue kat situ after September.. mesti tempat tu sunyi.. pastu mesti sale kurang rancak..

iklan lagi: can u imagine? this guy actually learned about footwear technology and design about 9 months ago.. he had no prior training in footwear, only in graphic..so memang start from zero la..
TETAPI!
his designs sold like hot cakes when the company had an exhibition at the Garda Shoe Fair in Italy, last month..

ITALY ok! ITALY!!


NOW, the best part is that he doesn’t blow his own horn. dia ni..omigoodness terlalu humble and tak suka la nak bangga2 diri ni. he’s not an attention seeker. maybe to only exclusive people je kot.. (ahem)

But..apa yang kebanyakan orang tak tau..(well, actually no one knows but me) is that deep down inside..he cries silently..

Dia sentiasa bersabar..sebab dia jenis tak suka bersuara..dia suka cakap, “biar orang buat kita..kita jangan buat kat orang.”

He’s a people pleaser.. he likes to make people happy..he is happy when others are happy. He doesn’t like to create tensions and he doesn’t want to sakitkan hati orang lain.. walaupun sebenarnya dia sedih atau sakit hati.. kadang2 he goes out of the way to make people happy sampai menyusahkan diri and sacrificing his own happiness..

Yang hebatnya this guy adalah kerana dia selalu berjaya meng‘cover’ perasaan, dia takkan tunjuk dia pissed off or bengang. or marah. tapi sebenarnya dia adalah seorang yang sangat baran..straight palm some more.. (but the writer has yet to see its full wrath..huhuhu)
people think he’s ok with it..coz he won’t say no..and he’ll smile and say “takpe, tak kisah” or “I’m ok..really, I am”

So orang pun pijak2 dia..or people take him for granted..or people don’t appreciate him..or people just don’t care at all about his feelings..
tapi biasalah..manusia ni kadang2 lupa..pastu jadi selfish..and hanya memikirkan diri sendiri..without considering about others..


Sometimes I just get flabbergasted because this guy is such a nice guy.. lain la kalau dia seorang yang kenjis sawari or dia memang jenis busuk hati or selfish gak..
but he’s a humble, amazing, wonderful guy.. he really is..
Dia terlalu humble sampai orang tak nampak.. mungkin people do appreciate and recognize, but people are too busy paying attention to other people or things and probably he’s brushed aside, not getting the attention that he truly deserves? I wonder..

so..betul ke the saying, ‘nice guys finish last’?
that’s sad. that's not right. it shouldn't be that way.


to the ‘guy’.. I wrote this to remind you of what you’re worth..

Every issue must have a solution, and when we solve an issue, we learn from the mistake and menjadi lebih bijak dan matang.

In life, we need obstacles kan? That’s what makes us become stronger characters.

Sebab tu some have it easy and some have to struggle..setiap individu ada cara yang tersendiri untuk belajar menempuhi kehidupan ini, and setiap daripada kita akan ada plot and ending tersendiri also (cewah..)

Contoh: Ada orang senang2 je parents bagi kereta untuk pakai gi keje.. ada orang kena pegi keje naik putra LRT pastu tukar naik star LRT kat masjid jamek pastu tunggu bas pastu jalan kaki lagi.. (ni CONTOH je la)

But, I feel orang yang naik putra-star-jalan kaki tu lebih bahagia kot hidup dia.. coz pagi2 dia dah byk berjalan, that's exercise, dia boleh jumpa all kinds of people and tak stress stuck in a jam like people who drive..yang sakit kaki, kaki kejung, duduk lama2, pastu kena isi minyak and bayar installment kereta every month and service kereta lagi and if the car rosak kena spend duit lagi..

Plus, wouldn’t it be a great story to tell when you become a millionaire before you turn 30? The ‘journey’…hahaha..

but seriously, success is a journey, not a destination..


I believe that there are bigger plans for you.


I BELIEVE IN YOU.
