巧遇善良人

人生路上,我有不少贵人相助。
今天又幸运的遇到一位 - 善良人 (比用好人感觉有墨水点)

他善良,
他常常想找机会帮助人,
他觉得人生来到世上,
除了基本责任要完成以外,

应该做个有贡献的人,

为什么要做个有贡献的人?
因为他觉得就算单薄力量的付出,
也会有少人感觉到这份付出,
这少人的世界会顿时晴朗起来,
其中 少少人会被感动
而加入付出的行列
复制,复制,在复制,
复制的力量,始于他!

这世界有太多名利熏心的人,
总要有人开始净化工作,
这份工作也是一种贡献。

这位善良的朋友,
他人缘极好,
同事很喜欢他,
同事故意利用它,
他总会为他们找借口,
认为此非他们本意。
在他心目中认定,
人之初,性本善。

他岂知这些千年老妖,
早已把他当唐僧肉般吃的牢牢的,
我们为他取了个代号 -  “天人“ (天上下凡的人)
其实是取笑他那天真无邪的想法,
有些劝说他别再被人利用了,
都难改变他那善良人的态度。

与他深谈,发现原来他知道大家冷嘲热讽
在他心里,
“我就尽管诚心待人,他要真利用我,总有天会自觉惭愧,从而改变“
我无言以对。

他也有发火的时候
嫉恶如仇的他,
会不惧强权帮组弱者的对抗恶势力,
他也因此结了不少冤大头,
我们问他为何如此,他拍胸膛说自己对得起天地良心,
他认为这种强出头的做法是一种贡献,
就算不能制止恶势力,至少恶势力蔓延的慢。
当今社会,人人自保,
他这种扮超人的做法,鹤立鸡群,
这种致死地而后生的人,叫人不得不为他捏把冷汗


他其实也非极端分子,
且有智慧。
面对强大对手时,
他会避其锋头,
不主动出击,处于防守,
敌人认定他害怕而往往掉以轻心,
 错过良机,
立己于不败之地而后求战。
他有空间蓄存实力而后战。

当敌人出手时,
他以太极化去对方凌厉的攻势,
运用优势,轻易取胜。

Grooming and Etiquette

Creating a winning professional image. Just like product branding, if customer can fall for the product at the first sight, the branding is successful. In short, first impression. The moment you decide to put behind your specialized skill , you have committed yourself in the naked combat with others, to impress the people you met. Unlike engineering field where you settle amicably in the comfort zone once you developed the expertise that people rarely have, even if the boss is not impress, he still needs your skill to complete the puzzle.

Hence, utmost gratitude to my company for having such session for us. Below is the key areas we should be aware of:

Communication: Visual (body Language) : 58%
Vocal : 38%
Verbal : 7%
Talking about clothes matching, 3 areas to look after:- Warm and cool, Dirty and clean , contrast
Warm colors are more yellowish: brown, cream, teal, olive green, brightred, peach,violet  CANNOT mix with cool colors such as Blue, fresh green, pink, gray, purple. Black/white is neutral/cool.

Dirty/clean :  Pinkish complexion people can wear either all dirty/ clean clothes, but for yellowish people like me =.=" i have to wear clean colors shirt, if not i will become invisible. Colors such as gray blue, light brown will makes me unnoticeable.

Contrast: make sure there is only one pattern from the shirt  and tie, although both can be stripped differently, but only one should be noticed.

Repeat your colours. Edge of calf with "V" area exposed, repeat color of tie

Tie : Length of tie should be at the belt buckle.
Belt should be 2 fingers wide

Hierarchy:
Coat/blazer/suit : Suits that got extra pine strip has higher hierarchy, Younger people goes for 2 vents. Shirt sleeves need to come out from suit slightly, 2 buttons and 3 buttons no different.

Shirt : Plain shirt > Pine > chalk strip shirt in terms of hierarchy. Do not buy Durban/John Master/ Elba which the design is usually not slim fit type. Brands such as Seeds, Padini and Topman should be the choice.The top opening should only allows 2 fingers width

Calf-ling: makes thin and malnourished looking people like me gain the banker look, since i am lack of the round prosperous face.

Pant : Never get the wide/baggy/ too long pants, must be able to allows the sight of butt protrude sharp. No strips/flips at the front. 

Shoes : best with square front, round seems old fashion and makes u look shorter, best with lace called oxford shoes.

Handshakes : while shaking hand, always held your left hand behind customer to be warmer. (forget what purpose d)

Meeting client: always be on your customers right side, cornering tactic and left brain interpretation is more positive

Introduce to people with higher authority first rather than the reverse way.
