Just like the song "rainbow" by Southboarder, there's nothing sure in this world. Right, I remember my telemarketing experience when I was selling Real Estates in Dubai to businessmen in UK. I had a phone conversation with a client and he seemed to be interested for he listened to my pitch, Then, I told him, "Mr. Smith* I can assure you that you will surely have your ROI (return of investment) as early as 3 months". "You don't have to go to Dubai and do business, you can just stay in London and I'm sure that your property in Dubai will earn some profit." Mr. Smith said, "Okay, I understand that Dubai is a great place to do business and you mentioned that it's a tax free city, but I don't think that there's an assurance that I would earn, since there's nothing sure in this world except taxes and death, don't you agree with me?" "I wonder if you know how risky it would be to invest in property market and in a place where I have never been to." "You can never convince me by assuring that I can have my ROI in 3 months." He told me many things about how he do business. He wasn't interested with our product but when I hang up I didn't feel bad. It was a realization that I can never give assurance to people just for me to make a sale. Mr Smith was right, I can never be sure of anything in this world except death and taxes.
In life we'll never know what lies ahead. There are many unanswered questions and for some, even if they have answers still we can never understand them. Like a passenger who is confused of which road to take; the short cut which is dull and boring or the long way which has some flowers, butterflies and bird singing. For me, I'd rather take the long way and enjoy my journey for it is a wonderful world and I don't know if I'm going to pass this way again.
Whatever pains we have right now, think that these things shall pass and as long we have the rivers, oceans, lakes and the sun still shines we'll have rains and "there's always a rainbow after the rain". Keep on smiling and never stop believing that something great is going to happen. Take time to enjoy in everything we do!
