how to be the good salespersons

A few days ago, I met an old friend. Now, he retired from professional work and was a salesman in a wellknown direct sale business. I talked to him and had an idea of how to be a good salesperson as imitated him. Everyone have to be the good salespersons, we don't have to sell anything but at least, we sell ourselves to the people we meet. The way to be the good salespersons in my idea, noticing from my friend are as following:--
1. Don't try to sell our products all the time. There must be time to talk about something else such as family, weather, politics, old time relation etc.
2. Idea exchange is important. Don't dominate talking. We should say less than the listeners. Give them a chance to express some opinion. And, accept or respect their opinion.
3. Having full of humour mood. Everyone like laughing. However, jokes must not disturb any listeners' feeling but, if we can, make them proud of their passed heroic activities. In other words, we are not any hero but the listeners are always hero in our mind. Remember that we don't talk much about ourselves, but we mostly talk about listeners and their interests.
4. Being helpful. Volunteer, invite or host the activities which the listeners like to do. if we don't have any potential of such activities, try something else. Don't do anything we don't have talent at it, e.g. singing, if we can not sing properly, don't have to do it. But we can go to listen the musics with the people.
Many things more to mention. We may think of something else and share. I will see you again soon. Luckily, I am going to Japan tonight and come back on August 31st. See you later. Chavalvut.

people are different and the same

Do you think the idea of the people all over the world are the same? And also the idea are different even for people in the same family? For example, people's imagination of ghost, we have ghost every where in the world,idea is the same, but the imagination and idea of ghosts are different. Thai ghost looks ugly whereas European ghost look like gentleman but sucking blood from the victims' neck.
I really like to read the history of the people. In Thailand, the cremation ceremony, they like to distribute the books for the guests who attend the cremation ceremony as the complimentary, and in the books there must be the history of the honorable deads. I will read their history right after getting the books. Finding that, people are different but some points are the same. We have our own life cycle which are different in life ways but everyone must have good and bad views in lives. Good things are different, some are beautiful, some are intelligent and some are rich. but there are not every people are intelligent, beautiful, rich and healthy together in one life. And finally, we all get old, sick and dead. These will be the same for every lives
If I am comparing myself to a man I know, he is rich, progressive and healthy, I will envious him. I compare only the good things he gets but I ignore his bad things. I think he is lucky getting everything in his life. But, finally, he may suffer from some serious disease and being handicapped fastly. This time, how do I want to be like him? Being myself is the best thing and don't want to compare with anyone, at last.
I am reading a life history of the former Director General of Rice Department in many years ago. He is now many years more than 80 years old. He was the scholarship awarded student to Cornell University and got Ph.D in Biology Science from that welknown institute. Then the World War II exploded. He joined the Free Thai Party [Thai Liberation] in the World War II. He worked very hard and took his life risky with his nation-love performance. After the War, he suffered with malaria and went back to USA for treatment and it took 6 months to recover.
I personally knew him because I first started my work at Rice Department and he was my big boss. After ten years time, I met him again as being the advisor of my extension work program. I really respected him and regarded him as one of my hero.
I never be as good as him but I wonder if I write my history and whether anyone read my book in the future and want to be like me or has a great respect of me like I am doing to my first big boss.
In conclusion, I am trying to say that don't think anyone is better than us. We must have or try to have something good too. And be proud of our goodness. We are unlike the others. Someday, I will write my history as mentioning and hope that there must be a few to read and want to do like I have done before. Chavalvut

Psychological terms

There are 2 couples of psychological terms I used to learn about 40 years ago. Optimistic and pessimistic, optimistic is looking at people in the good way and pessimistic is looking in the bad way. Extrovert and introvert, extrovert is being pleased to meet people, smiling and be friend, introvert is quiet, self esteem and look negative to people. Certainly, being achieved in your career, you have to be optimistic and extrovert. In other words, you have to be a good person and friendly. Don't get angry, don't be greedy and don't think only of yourself.
These are for the young guys like you. I am too old for working now. For my experience, the successful people are talkative, friendly, and self-confident. The best thing for them is being intelligent, practical, and specialized too.
There are no rain in Bangkok for a few days but in Nongkai and Mookdaharn which are on the Maekong Riverbank have been flooding for a couple of days. Natural disasters can not be forecasted and can not be protected in time. They could happen anywhere and anytime. Everytime we wake up in every morning, we should thank [something] we still in the normal life. Being normal is happiness, but we don't know it until we get something abnormal. For example, if I suffer from a serious disease and can not recover it, the best thing I wish is coming back to the normal life. Money or anything is not as important as our normal lives. I used to be in operation at the hospital, when I laid down with sick in bed, one thing I wished, was being normal as people walking around, these people seemed to be strong as I wanted to be like. Now we are lucky to be normal, we must do something for the bad luck people.
Good luck for every readers. See you soon. Chavalvut

To my children, you will get what you do

In buddhism, there is a popular proverb. That is " To do good, we will receive good, and to do bad, we will receive bad. This is the fact of nature. But people may think of different ways. For example, if I offer the monk's food, I'll be rich. But offering the monk food and being rich are different. If you want to be rich, you have to work hard, do some saving and invest more. But offering the monk food, you will be happy for giving. This is a happiness in heart. Matichon Newspaper[August 17th 2008,page6] Pra Paisal Visalo[http://budnet.info]said that if you grow mango, you will get mango. You can not get money from mango tree. Therefore, everything will reflex exactly what you are doing. You want to pass the exam, you must study hard. You want people around love you, you have to love them and do good to them too.
All people have both good and bad in them. Positively, I'd like you to look at people in good way. Please ignore their ugliness or some of the things you don't like. You have to have friends. Do good to them and make them love you.
Your success in life comes from having friends. I have seen a lot of successful people who are popular in the society. Some have talents, some are expert in special things. Most of them are respected by the people. Among the group of friends, they find you a good job, they introduce good things to you.
You must have long time future plan, this plan should be furnished with your sideline jobs. You can not have only income source. Many income sources make you a financial security. This doesnot mean you work long hours in a day. It is your technique how to achieve with leisure, exercise and good health. Being smart need good brain and clever idea. Please fight for survivour.

watching the movie

Last night, I went to see a movie. It was " One Heart Together" [Noung Jai Daeew Gan], written by Princess Ubonrat Rajkanya Sirisopa Panawadee. She also performed in the film. The story was about a widow successful business woman[ Princess] and her daughter. Her daughter volunteered for the rural poor school in Chiangrai and wanted to be a teacher there whereas her mother didnot agree. Later, both met an accident and there were the story about her mother. I will not say in detail because the film is still showing in the theater and would like to recommend you watching this film. I can tell that it was a good film [Thai Standard] and I enjoyed watching it. The story made me follow the next step of scene. The actors were also so good and looked good. The content were based on the real situation. As I want to say is we have to develop education of people as a first priority. To make them clever first and then economics will come with stable basis.
It was my first experience watching movie at night since long time ago. The atmosphere was so good. I saw a lot of young people passing by. They were lovers, friends, family, etc. Saying that I could be the oldest on yesterday night. I felt happy and had a good sleep afterward.
I think I will do it again soon. There is the coming comedy names Boonchoo [ Boonchok, a son of Boonchoo]. I intend to watch it. Chavalvut

To my children

Hi ! everyone,
Today [August 15th] is the Chinese Day [ Sat Jean]. People who has some chinese blood worship spirits in the morning at their home by offering food and necessary facility to the spirits as they believe as a tradition. The traffic in Bangkok today, therefore, is quite good, whereas it is the Chinese people's special holiday. Also today is not the busy day for me, I stay home and apply for Blogspot. I'd like this to be my media to approach you and people.
I intend to go to a cinema[ Major Cinneplex] tonight. I have never watched a film in the theater for ages. Only watching from cable TV. I want to touch the outside world and be with the crowd. When you are not old, you never understand why we, oldies, need to be with the young sometimes. It atleast makes me feel fresh and get some strength from the social world. To be home with nothing to do make me exhausted.
Teeth is important for life as same as eyes, ears, and limb. After eating, you should clean your teeth. We, asian people have the sensitive teeth. And don't forget to exercise everyday until you get sweat. Eat vegetable and fruit mainly and try to have enough sleep [only 7 hours] everyday. These are what I reminding you for today. Stay out of Bangkok, going to see a doctor is quite hard and expensive. So, the best way is looking after yourselves. These are all for today, I'll write again soon. From Por
