Unpredictable

 


Recently, at the company I work for, we were informed of a sad news - it's about the CEO's passing.
 
Before he died, he had a dream of building a database of contacts significant to the industry we're focused on. This dream came to life, when for the first time, on a Friday in the month of July 2022, he had a glimpse of it and was able to test it. The sad part is that on the following Sunday, he passed away.
 
Life is just so unpredictable. That's why I always make sure to cherish everything and everyone that I have in this world while I still have the chance.
 
In this piece, I'm sharing with you all, the message I left in our communications platform after the meeting we had on that day we heard of the news.

I wanted to share my thoughts, but I couldn't do it while on the call because I'm the type of person who gets very emotional really quickly.
 
Mine is that, one of the factors that make people stay at a company is good management - you all have been the best and our CEO - he's one of the nicest, most inspiring leaders I've known. Not that I have had any interactions with him, because I haven't had more since after the team meeting with him in October.
 
It's very motivational how he started with the company up to the point when he became the CEO.
 
I learned from what he reiterated back then, that it's okay to fail at times, that's part of the journey, but what's important is that we own it. We keep going, we keep doing our best. We aim to win, claim it and it'll happen.
 
The book he shared, I was so excited about it. I got it in February this year. I didn't want it to look old and get damaged or anything so I initially decided not to open the package, but my excitement couldn't be controlled until June 21st, just last month, I finally opened it. I was so happy. It hit me personally when I saw what was not anticipated -- a handwritten note. Was so moved, so much so that I put it back to its original packaging, and have planned to read it next month and that when I'm done reading it, I would reach out to him to share my thoughts.
 
I guess that last part, I would no longer be able to do so, but I'll reach out to him in prayers.
 
This must have been the saddest thing in the history of my work experience with the company for me, but the silver lining I imagine is that at least he was able to witness what he has envisioned come to life - what was once his dream, now a reality. He'll be happy where he is.
 
May he, along with the Almighty Creator, guide us all as we continue on the journey he has been rooting for us to go through.
 
More strength for everyone!

Thanks for reading this far. I hope we all realize how short life is and that it's important to make the best out of it while we still can. Love and peace to y'all!

Embracing the Rollercoaster of Love: The Myth of Perpetual Happiness in Relationships

Image
In the realm of modern relationships, there exists a prevailing myth that suggests couples should be in a perpetual state of bliss. However, the reality is far from this idealistic notion. It's perfectly okay not to be constantly happy in a relationship. Just like life itself, relationships are intricate and multifaceted journeys that encompass a spectrum of emotions, both positive and challenging. One of the common downsides of relationships is the misconception that perpetual happiness is the only marker of a successful partnership. This unrealistic expectation can lead to feelings of inadequacy and disappointment when the inevitable challenges arise. Every relationship faces its share of disagreements, misunderstandings, and rough patches. Accepting that not every moment will be filled with joy is crucial for fostering a healthier and more resilient connection with your partner. Rather than viewing moments of discontent as signs of failure, it's essential to recognize them a...

The Power of Manual Leads Qualification: Quality Over Quantity

Image
In today's fast-paced business environment, it's easy to get caught up in the rush for leads. However, let's take a moment to consider the age-old debate: Manual Leads Qualification vs. Bulk Sourcing. 🎯 Bulk sourcing may promise a high volume of leads, but it's crucial to remember that quantity doesn't always equate to quality. Manual lead qualification, on the other hand, ensures that each lead is carefully vetted and aligned with your ideal customer profile. This approach may seem more time-consuming initially, but the long-term benefits are truly game-changing. First and foremost, manual qualification hones in on precision. By meticulously evaluating each lead, we uncover nuanced details that might be overlooked in a bulk-sourcing approach. This means we're not just reaching out to more potential clients, but rather, the right potential clients—those whose needs and pain points align seamlessly with our offerings. This results in higher conversion rates and ...
