Repentance

posted by ryan

Repentance is the thought and action to correct a wrong and seek forgiveness from a person who is wronged. Often in religion, it is labeled as a sin and we look for ways to ask for forgiveness from the other party.

With different religious practice and belief, the way which religious believers ask for forgiveness also varies. At individual level, people ask for forgiveness directly from the person and are recommended and most effective and beneficial to individual mental and spiritual well being.

As for religious practice, there was a news article which talks about Pop Benedict XVI breaking the silence on child-sex abuse which was dismiss by victims who wants actions instead of remarks. While I was reading that news article, I remembered the informational show on Channel News Asia that showed how a Christian believer go on a holiday to walk and get a feel of what God went through in Israel the birth place of Jesus Christ and talked about how he was crucified.

The reason for crucified by the other religious leaders was partly due to the fact that he failed to respect other religions who did not at any point of time provoke him nor his religion at all and there he is going into a Muslim and Jewish religious nation and trying to spread his own belief and faith disrupting other people’s belief.

I’m not sure if it’s right or wrong, but one must be responsible for their personal mistakes which he did, and I respect him for that. Than going back to the news article, the phrase which states “must repent for sins and recognize mistakes” and when I think of the actual practice currently, it isn’t doing what they are saying. When a confession is made, believers were told that by welcoming God into their lives, their sins will be washed away and seek enlightenment.

I will agree partially as enlightenment that part, is same with all respective religion but when it comes to washing the sins away, that is neither practical nor realistic at all. Instead it is misleading people into thinking that they can continue to do bad things and yet ask for forgiveness, its identical to saying oh Law and Justice, I believe in law and will not commit the crime of robbing/kidnapping a person again, please pardon me of my wrong doings, don’t sentence me to jail please.

That to me sounds so wrong. What I understand of religion is whereby we should help one another, and not by expecting other people to carry the mistakes and be pardon without taking responsibility of our own actions. Perhaps it is precisely this misleading or misunderstanding of the true intention of God which caused the Pope sex scandal to keep on surfacing.

I do believe in religion but the moral, ethics and individual responsibilities still holds regardless of what we believe in, be accountable for our own actions.

Religion is what holds us to our own beliefs; it is like a moral light house guiding our way from dangerous costal shores.

So no matter what you believe in, make sure you are doing the right thing and be responsible for your own actions.

What kind of relationship do you want to have? Positive or negative relationship with people around you, are you going to force your way in and get killed in the process or approach with caution and respect for your competitors?

Think of the consequences before doing anything.

Friends

posted by ryan

Friends are people who we are attached to with feelings of affection with friendly relations.

Friends come and go as we grow and age. The fact is that the older we get, we should have come across more friends as compared to previous when we were young, but why is it on the contrary that we were much happier as a child playing with our friends.

Looking at our present self, as adults, is there any body whom you can really consider friends? People who share your both your worries and joy plus the special moments of laughter together.

As a child, we have limited friends, but it is those limited friends but are quality friends whom we can share our joy, happiness and worries bonding together easily without worries for backstabbing, credit stealers, spies or trickery. It is such a pure decent and simple friendship as a child.

Adults literally and technically have less than a handful of people considered to be friends. Who do you speak do when you are lonely at night and cannot sleep? Is there someone who comes to you mind that you want to speak to but is worried if your privacy may be compromised if you share it with your friend who works and have common friends as you?

As we grow, the purpose and desire eventually exceeds our basic need for friendship, thus closing door to communication, and with peer pressure, society pressure for survival, we lose contacts with people whom we once were closed to and become acquaintance.

While I was typing this post, than realized that it is possible to still have friends whom we can trust but only on condition that both parties absolutely have no common friends, thus in this situation, it wil purely be a heart to heart talk, without worries that secrets will be spilled and passed around eventually becoming the gossip topic of the work place or conversion topic among your friends.

Thinking back, as a teenager, it was when I started to understand friends, and starting to know quality friends. Either gender will do, just so as long as he/she is there to companionship, to play, to talk, and go out together.

When I was twelve years old, I got to know a friend in a tuition center with Chinese Development Assistant Council Program at Hong Wen Primary and few months later we met again in the same secondary school and in the same class. It was than at that moment, we both became instant friends at first sight, no questions asked. That best friend relationship lasted only a year plus before it subsides into close friend status.

Soon after another classmate became my best friend, in the same group of friends in the class due to same topic and recreation club but it wasn’t long before being replaced by another person as we both travelled back home on Mass Rapid Train together back after school. While we may share different interest and subjects, but at least we share something in common, the heart to accompany each other in silence without talking. That was when I understand true friendship. Be it happiness or sad, as long as somebody is there for you, no speech, it’s the thought and presence that matters most.

After secondary school, we each went our separate paths, but still remain as close friends despite no longer having any common topic. When I got into polytechnic, it was when I really got to know and make friends with females, on much closer terms as compared to secondary school whereby I do not speak to females other than school work related.

Thankfully I had a good wonderful first year with Republic Poly in Tanglin Campus in both terms with different but wonderful classmates which remind me of my primary school days. Happy without worries or having to worry about no common topic as we all shared the same thing in mind, how to spend the day in class acting intelligent and hardworking but in fact we are just playing games, watching videos online which was fun.

Sharing games, nice videos, food topics and even on how to penalize each other in presentation so as to score high marks for ourselves, but nothing personally, all those penalizing of each other surface and stays only within the classroom, in particular only during presentation time at the question and answer fifth presentation which compromises of five groups followed by sixth presentation (model presentation) by the facilitator.

During poly days, I got to know a person from Friendster in year 2005, and it wasn’t long before I found another true friend who I can speak my mind out, only that this time, that person was a she as compared to previous three times he among the secondary group of friends.

Text messaging each other deep in the night when we had difficulty sleeping if not just wanting somebody to talk to. Thus I would just cycle over and chat before returning back home to sleep. That did not last long either, it spread over two years plus, but technically counting the number of days, its less than a month, but what makes it so memorable was the connection and trust with secrets. Not long after, due to education parted ways. Gap widens like in earlier years in school.

Thinking back, have we ever had any trusted friends as adults to speak to? Seriously at present moment, I cannot think of any. As we each pursue our own dreams, vision, work or education, spreading our wings, walking closer towards the path of loneness and pretending to be friendly to each other to climb higher.

Like-wise in business, at work, while we all desire to find real friends, but in fact it is running away further beyond our reach at the expense of money for survival just to fill our stomach. Adults have little to near zero true friends. Most of the people befriend each other just for a hidden agenda to climb and gain support from colleagues for pay rise and nothing more than it.

Where can I find my next true friend? Or will it forever just be a dream only? Perhaps. .. Another lonely night with nobody to talk to.

Line

posted by ryan

Line is an indication of demarcation, boundary, limit; often said to the fine line between right and wrong. In business and in law under the justification system, a clear line is drawn and spelled out clearly between the legal and illegal business or law practice.

Smarter individuals and businesses will than engage professional help such as lawyers and accountants to get into the hidden line of spectrum, the grey boundary which is similar to science, the colour spectrum of light and how it compromise of many various different light rays.

It is clear that in business and under law, it is easily to spell out what is right and wrong thanks to the terms and conditions with agreements to follow whatever considerations that has being discussed and agreed before any contract has being signed. But it is not always the same as for relationships especially when it comes to emotional relationships which has no right or wrong, neither is there any laws in any country to date that governs this emotional relationship in particular.

What every country can only do is to spell out laws which concerns business, money when relationships failed over partnership or when things get messy and out of hand.

Ladies often said men are playboys, which I as a guy can only agree but only partially agreement. But with time and exposure to books, television shows, and the ability to understand and comprehend in depth conflicts of relationships and emotions plus the link between these two, there is only one conclusion at the end of the topic. And that is; people often draw lines and follow the lines, rules set by it within the boundaries, people who cross the line and mostly it is the guys who does that, thus giving the blanket impression that ‘all guys are natural playboys’ in some ladies regardless of age.

Guys in the past change girlfriends like nothing, giving ladies the impression of being a playboy, but after years of thinking, and understanding from different perspective, guys change girlfriends only when their other half step beyond the line and try to have more control over something which results in arguments and unhappiness leading to break-ups which also happens in ladies breaking up with guys too for similar reasons.

Now-a-days, the line is further being blurred and more towards the grey area with the media coverage of skimpy, revealing clothes and designs which give the young minds a wrong education over the television, fashion fads and trends and even within individuals be it at work, play or home.

The boundary is no longer clear, emotion, love and sex are mixed up in the young minds which leads to more problems than what ordinary people can handle which is why nationals and politicians are having headaches over marriage issues, abortion, pregnancy issues in many countries across the globe.

To solve the global problem, there is a simple solution to the problem. List out and define your own line, limitations, principles and follow whatever rules, terms and conditions which you have set to eliminate all these potential problems which will surface without clear rules implement order in place to keep it well oiled like a smooth running machine that never breaks down or jams up.

Always draw and distinguish a clear line to eradicate all potential problems even before they have any slightest chance of growth in our mind or heart whichever way you like it.

Line is what sets the huge gap between poverty or wealthy, rich or poor.

If you want to say good-bye to poverty, welcome wealth and riches, than start defining your own line(s).

Identity

posted by ryan

Identity is the sense of self, providing sameness and or likeness. It is the individuality, personality, distinctness, uniqueness of oneself which makes everyone of us different.

Within a country, there should be a unique country identity, but thanks to globalizing, this identity of a country has being infused with other countries identity and is no longer unique to own country with the exception of some countries.

China, Korea, Russia, India, Thailand, Malaysia, United States of America, European countries each have their own unique identity as a country and it is shared by all of the citizens.

They embrace and honor their respective nation identity, culture, values and beliefs in the form of religion and have faith in what their nation belief in.

Singapore on the other hand, is on the verge of losing our own unique Singapore identity. Gone are the days of the kampong spirit, friendliness. The present us, are all confine and closed up thanks to the lack of privacy in home designs thus neighbours close doors and contribute largely to what we have today, employees who do and not talk thus it is more like a mundane life as compared to the past.

Being a garden city in the past, with such large investments from overseas companies, are we losing our identity? Where is the garden city? It is becoming more and more like a city of another developed nation with nothing more than commercial buildings, earning profits etc.
Not much focus has to thrown on religion, culture, which is our strength but all this is under valued in terms of commercial profits. We are losing our multi-racial identity which to globalization and losing it to just commercial purpose.

What does Singapore has to offer to tourist? There’s nothing unique of Singapore if it doesn’t focus on your multi religion identity and the ability to work, trust each other regardless of race, language, religion or culture. We allow cooperation and helping one another, but obviously this is what is lacking.

Tourist are paying money just to see what they can find in other countries, Formula One race track, casinos, buildings, all these are just solely for commercial and tax benefits only with no unique identity for Singaporeans. Are we duplicating other countries success at the expense of losing our own unique Singaporean identity which cannot be duplicated in any other countries for obvious reasons?

It is an expensive identity that we are losing and it is heavily neglected and thus giving tourist more reasons to by-pass Singapore if we were to continue with whatever the decisions the tourism industry is thinking.

Even cultural identity is losing, why the local religion and culture are losing to religions thanks colonization during war times. The focus should be local religion and there we have so many locally born Singaporeans embracing religion from overseas. It should be the Singapore Experience and not something which can be seen, duplicated in any part of the world. Fatal mistake!!

Investments should be pumped into showcasing Singapore’s rich
bio-diversity of various religions and cultures staying to our roots.

It is the relationship which we are bonded to by birth which we should stick to and not to embrace other countries identity like what majority of people are converting to other religions from our own roots.

Selling

posted by ryan

Selling is the process of persuading someone to buy a product or service in exchange for a sale, commission and profit. It is done by a sales person who exchange the time in engaging a person in exchange for a single sale. This is usually done over the counter in shopping malls and centers.

Marketing on the other hand is the process of offering value and selling in bulk converting to more sales, profit and commission for the company and the salesperson and at the same time helping the client to save money. In order to generate that high sales volume, it boils down to relationship building, value creation and unique selling proposition of the products and services which a business or an individual can offer to a potential client who may turn out to be their potential joint venture partner in future.

Selling is a job, an employment; marketing is strictly business and nothing else. The income or salary between a salesperson and a marketeer commands a great difference. Business owners make lots of money, wealth because they are marketers themselves, as compared to sales people.

If you are reading this blog entry right now, and is thinking of becoming a marketer, you can either leave a comment or contact me directly from my site to have your questions answered.

You can learn all those skills but find a right coach as a mentor and advise you accordingly, don’t pay for people who are not marketers.

Learn to identify the difference between sellers and marketeers.

Indignation

posted by ryan

Indignation is a strong displeasure at something considered unjust; it is a righteous anger.

This feeling is felt by yourself and the people when project or work credits have being stolen by people who knows you. It can be your family member, colleague or competitor trying to claim credit for what you have done.

When credits care being stolen away or you realized you have being backstabbed, you often feel unjust and wants to get back at that person resulting in hatred and wants revenge.

There are two ways whereby people get revenge and that will go about doing it which is either positive or negative revenge.

Negative revenge is what we often see, hear and talk about. It is the way practiced by the poor, using whatever means and ways possible for revenge at the expense of ruin oneself just to see that justice has being served duly. Common revenge methods will be sabotage, gossiping discredit a person and discriminating against that particular person. This way, not only is the offender by the victim both suffers at the end.

Positive revenge is what is done by the wealthy and successful entrepreneurs and businessmen. They will form alliance, share helpful information, discredit only those unsatisfactory business partners or have had negative experiences before and amplify the results of isolating that particular person who has being blacklisted by an entrepreneur. This is whereby the consequences will only be one way and it is to completely eliminate the blacklisted person while increasing their business and relationship ties making it stronger.

The person who offended that entrepreneur will have no idea why and how his/her reputation is decreasing with time and less business and projects being tasked to that person.

Look at how businesses, companies take out one another and how companies who survive the war emerge stronger than before.

If you’re not into business, than probe more into boy-girl relationship, and get yourself updates on what happens after a failed relationship if not look at martial arts which is more neutral.

Girls will think of ways to get back at the boys making herself and him look equally both bad, while boys on the other hand will ignore the girls previously, working together with their common friends, discussing on which new girls to be their next targets and even share their ex-girlfriends contacts with one another.  This applies to even ladies and gentlemen, especially those people with sour grapes personalities.

People who practice martial arts will be the prime example of positive revenge via ethical means. When a challenger loses to a winner, he or she will than go back and reflect, work on their weakness and improve for the next challenge. It is either a win lose or on par for the next challenge and they move on with whatever they want. This is more of the balanced approach.

Learn to handle your emotions well and stay on the right track; do not ever let your emotions run wild hurting not only yourself but others in the process.

Foundation

posted by ryan

Foundation is the basis or groundwork of anything.

To learn to walk and run, we first have to learn to crawl and balance by standing on our own two feet.

To speak a variety of language and dialects, we first have to understand how to talk and communicate.

To do business, we have to learn accountancy which is a advanced mathematics derived from basic mathematics of add, subtract, multiply and divide so as to calculate profit and loss.

For good health, we first have to ensure our body constitution is in good health with the help of traditional Chinese medicine via herbs therapy.

Building a building requires a strong solid foundation, the portion of building’s structure that transfer the weight if the building into the ground strata so as to remain strong.

Healthy relationship between family, relatives and friends requires a strong foundation of trust and bonding too, which is cultivated and built since young by celebration events and gatherings.

Like wise, marriage and boy-girl relationship is all about emotions handling which is needed in everything which we do, in presentation of business, family communication, health, and the passion for language learning. The love for learning and doing anything keeps us moving forward and always improving for more.

Driving a car requires the basic understanding of both theory and practical knowledge and experience too.

Like a tree in nature, it starts small, grows deeper as it grows taller from a small tree to a strong tree sufficient to stand and withhold itself against strong winds with its deep roots spread all over thus it is not easy to uproot a tree.

Whatever we do, we need to stick to the basic foundation, so never ever belittle the minor details which is a necessity to start the learning curve. It is the catalyst to success.

Breakup

posted by ryan

Breakup is to put an end to unpleasant relationship. It is the discontinuance of a relationship, called separation or divorce and termination. It could be marriage, friendship, employment and business partnership. It is to dump the other party for numerous reasons.

The most talked about breakup is nonetheless, Tiger Woods scandal with multiple ladies from different professions ranging from models to porn stars and even getting ladies pregnant and subsequently going for abortion.

Tiger Woods scandal is an example which illustrates from multiple perspectives. First he is married, second his is a world known golfer who has made a brand out of themselves due to diligence, third, he has other golfers who supported him and fourth he has business relationship from reputable brands with Nike, Tag Heuer, Gillette and other brands.

In this example, the scandal first started by Tiger Woods escaping from his wife Elin chasing Tiger who than crashed his car and was sent to hospital. Back than it was only a simple family marriage issue.

Thanks to media exposure, it than evolved into business and employment issues, with brands and companies backing out from the endorsement deals, and his employment as a professional golfer comes to a temporary stop, his money keeps gushing out into the ladies he had affair with not forgetting Tiger using money to have Elin staying by his side. His billionaire status, I guess is back to multi-millionaire due to payments for keep the secrets to themselves, the day he comes back to golf will be the days he climb back up to be a billionaire.

Breakup can be a pleasant experience with the right respect during the relationship, care and concern for each other. In this case, we have one of the ladies Jamiee Grubbs apologizing to Elin on a website portal exclusive. Jamiee said she had no regrets, it is only when respect is felt in any relationships, than breakup will be a pleasant experience.

Tiger Wood scandal may not have any impact on our daily lives, but it can be a great teaching tool as a case study to learn from other people’s experiences.

To have a positive pleasant relationship, first start by respecting each other, be it in family, friends, boy-girl relationship or in business. Respect comes first. Honesty comes second followed by responsibility for one’s action comes third.

Tension

posted by ryan

Tension is a strained relationship between both parties between individuals, groups or nations. It is the disagreements which both parties fail to come up with a mutually beneficial terms causing the relationship to be stretched and the bonding goes from thick to thin with each escalating issues surfacing.

It creates emotional strain, intense anxiety among everyone among those affected by the disagreements.

Tensions are everywhere, from average person walking on the streets to businesses, and even nations. All the way from the smallest average people like you and I to the biggest most powerful nations, all of us are living in a tensed up society these days with lots hidden unhappiness stored inside each nation waiting for eruption like a volcano. Each new failed or sour business relationship between two countries is like the sill of the volcano, the unhappiness among both countries is like the large magma chamber.

When a failed sour business caused relationships to take a slight turn for the worse, causing job losses in businesses affecting large scale especially among different countries, a parasitic cone is formed with lava flowing out from the parasitic cone slowly increasing the damage as it waits for the magma chamber to erupt with time.

There are so many examples to look at among different nations.

First up most frequently appeared in news media is China US bilateral ties issue which goes a long way, and is made worse with white house support Google from getting bullied by Baidu who is protecting the China identity at home and online.

Next up is US versus Iran, the quest to sweep the root of the terrorist clean and flush them out but it still has a long way to go. USA once missed the chance to plug out Osama Bin Laden as reported in one of the news reports last time, wanting to silence the ring leader, father of the terrorist who was personally trained by the US themselves.

Up next will be Thailand politics chaos situation, with the red shirt versus the yellow shirt. Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra who made billions upon using his politics influence to increase his wealth, avoided paying tax and accused by current prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva who is constantly digging for new evidence to upset and reduce his influence in Thailand wanting to silence the opposition the red shirt but has yet to see any improvement, in fact he made the Thailand economy worse following the recent demonstration just in front of the Thailand airport causing it to be closed for a day, out of business suffering huge losses.

Up next closely is Korea, North and South Korea always appear in the news yearly due to tensions between cross-border with communist and democratic country respectively with the display of their military might and protection from strong nations from Russia and US respectively as backing.

The rest that follows are just minor national tensions purely for profits and tourism competition that not as important as those above.

Tensions arise for many reasons, without early antidote, it will escalate bigger and bigger over time like a volcano, once erupted, serious damage will be felt and casualties and business losses of people who live around the volcano area suffers.

Tensions are just identical to our health. A cold may be a minor issue which can heal and thus often overlooked, but it is leaves any after-effects, it will lead to serious complications, as cold, flu and cough are the minor symptoms.

Health is the core problem for individuals. Business tensions is the core problems for countries while politics and military related concerns affects the whole world if not at least the surrounding countries when there’s a surge in military might with purchase of weapons.

The next time you get into any disagreement, solve it instantly if not as soon as possible, else it will escalate into another business war whereby companies lose, profits reduced and only the consumers benefit from business battle. If it’s individual, sooner or later there will be more stares, arguments before turning to catfights or business sabotage depending on the genders.

So handle any arguments addressing right to the root of the problem, look at what caused the problem, don’t solve it only from the surface which will not help.

If you need examples: Look at hospitals around the whole world, the patients get sicker and more illness especially terminal and expensive illness find their way onto the patients increasing their burden. Have you ever heard of patients suffering from TCM, not even once at all since history?

Look at the difference, which medical practice should you seek help from, answer is obvious, if you want to save more money, choose TCM, but start early, and it will save you mountains of money bit by bit starting from young as TCM is all about healing all weakness of the body that cause a illness to surface, while western drugs only help heal the illness which has surface and not the root of the problem.

Understand the cause and effect, and entrepreneurship will be a breeze for those who understand it, building a strong mind with the right foundation as basics.

Good habits start from young.

Management

posted by ryan

Relationship is an association of two or more people which is based on different purpose and bonding. It may be based on for business interactions, social commitments, interpersonal or intimate relationship.

Different purpose of relationship requires different methods of handling, and understanding how it works is the key to solving the root of the problems should it surface.

The root and basics of relationship management is to look at the difference between how a man and a woman handle relationship.

There is a common saying “Men can forget but they cannot forgive. Women can forgive but they cannot forget.”

During a courtship, there is both positive and negative behavior which we can learn from relationship. Relationship management is just like a business and it requires time, effort, commitment and collaboration from both parties to work.

In the process of the courtship, it is sweet, once the courtship is over and grow into a relationship before it evolve into a either a break-up or marriage followed by everlasting love if not separation followed by divorce.

The spectrum of transition of relationship is all about business transaction these days due to the change in culture and influences. Romance; love; commitment; responsibility; accountability ; management; operations; protection; expansion.  It is all about the cycle before it duplicates itself or it dies off.

Romance is sweet like an appetizer, a small dish to stimulate a desire for more.  It can be of in all flavors depending on the person’s character and personality. It is the selection of which appetizer is suitable for you like choosing a partner.

Once you take your pick, you start to taste it, the taste lingers in your mouth, either your taste buds accept it if not reject it. If you accept it, it starts to go inside, making you hungry wanting more increasing your appetite. It is the courtship whereby you want to consume it, but it just does not want you to know what the next dish is. With anticipation, the desire grows, like in a courtship, from hands to shoulders to waist, hips, kissing and other intimate actions translating romance into love.

Love is when you start to have the taste of the dish, and you ask for more, wanting the next dish to be served fast. Short light kiss becomes French-kissing and it proceeds further with hands into the picture. Like you start off with different breads, applying either butter or jam just simply hands and or with just a butter knife. As you progress, you start using tools to consume more and the tools get more, which is when intimacy increases and clothes start dropping piece by piece.

Commitment is when the main course get served, finally you see the dish in front of you, salivating, starts drooling and you can’t wait to consume the main dish. It is whereby clothes are completely removed; all you see in front of you is the naked body. Alluring, sexy with a sense of curiosity of how it will be like.

With a slice of cut on the meat, you put it into your mouth, its equivalent to making a commitment, a promise to your partner that you will stay by his/her side. Soon as you consume the main dish, you start to fell the slight fullness in your stomach. As foreplay moved into intercourse, the promise is made and commitment sets in.

Having finished the main course, the rest of the course can be predicted, with the delicious dish already served, whatever dish coming up next is just lighter in flavor then the main course which was just finished. Like after the intercourse, ejaculation sets in, satisfaction in both parties. The customer decides to stay till the end of the course, while the cook is happy that the customer enjoyed the main course.

With that, responsibility takes places. You will start discussing how nice the dish was previously, and perhaps next time your choice of dishes if you were to come back again. Similarly like how ladies like to hug their partners after it, lying on their partner’s chest or in the arms, looking into the eyes, smiling happily, chatting about the feelings during the intimate physical contact.

Accountability sets in soon after, like the dessert that’s coming up next, it can be of either hot or cold dessert to tantalize your taste buds usually ending with sweet desserts so the customer will come back for more. Like a happy couple resting in the comfort of each other, either one waking up slightly earlier to prepare breakfast for the other partner, leaving sweet memories and closing the chapter leaving wonderful and pleasant memories, allowing the couple to make plans for marriage.

Management is the bills of the whole set breakfast/lunch/dinner. Settling the bills, checking if the bill is right for any overcharging like a couple in bliss, planning for the next session with budgeting involved now.

Budgeting includes the promise and if the partner is responsible for his/her actions before a second and three set meal can be consumed together. Discussed wisely, the budget only gets sweet and larger with more commitments and responsibilities like choice of restaurant, if want to upgrade to a higher class restaurant paying for the service and ambiance similarly to discussion of settling down for a family.

Operations is how the restaurant runs the after sales service, the methods which they will offer to give you reasons to patronize the restaurant or their service again. It is when the partner shows his/her attention, care and concern for each other to make it work and have the relationship running smoothly without any food scraps getting stuck in between the teeth.

Protection is whereby restaurants come up with new dishes, promotions to attract and retain their valued customers. This is when business rivals surface allowing the customers to chance to taste other recipes and dishes. This will be when partners come up with new tricks such as new image, choice of clothes, some teasing, and new positions and change of environment to entice their own partners to stay faithful and loyal to each other.

Expansion is when the business is doing well; restaurant owner decides to open another outlet via franchise model duplicating their success. It is whereby both partners planting and wants seeds to be planted in the farmlands. For males, it’s to get the female pregnant, for females, it is to get married and the cycle continues, this time on the baby inside the womb.

Transactions are happening everyday, every second, how you run the business and how much you profit depends on you and nobody else. Learn management skills, it is the skill that is applicable to anything and everything.

Have a profitable business and a happy marriage. =)
