I always regard myself as a quick-learner, no matter in studies or in working field. Besides, I drank poptops from time to time, assuming there was nothing sophisticated on earth that I couldn't comprehend. After 20 years, my convincing long persisting has totally been modified, and I see things more clearly and spare enough room in my head to organize, in file order, and to review what I have done in the past 20 years after graduation, then I know what I have learned from them.
During my period of wholesales for daily detergent merchandise, medical treatment supplies in the trading companies, I got to develop and then enforce the ability of product presentation, explanation of specified features and negotiation of transactions and bargains as well as using tact to make as many orders and allotted OEM offerings imminent, which helped establish appropriate stage manner, improvised live responding comprehension according to rules of current business cultures.
In year 2002, I introduced the processing procedures of American sandwich fast food business and established with partners the native sandwich fast food restaurant “Subber”, which is to offer a cheaper price without compromising the original quality sandwich should have and reached her 9th franchise in two years, developing within network till now. Through this I learned about the brief concept of marketing science, manpower management and the real practice of promotion strategies.
For nearly 15 years since 1994, I was very lucky to be hired to conduct and organize intensive English courses for children, junior and senior high school students. Encountering these young generations, I first tossed least attention to them because of innocent juvenility of them. Soon I was unexpectedly treated with embarrassing recrimination and great discouragement. At a situation of being unpopular and dilemma between hopeful, lighthearted entrusting parents, instructing a bunch of prankish little audience and, what is worse, the old army games among other teachers, I realized I now undertook a great challenge and ever so tough a task to deal with, and that was indeed the most intractable working experience I have ever met. Honestly speaking, there were once several times when I conceived my resignation in the first 5 years. Instead I took it adamantly as a challenge and managed to figure out an access to breaking the deadlock. After 15 years of blindly groping around, I gradually induced the art of communication through various ages, from young kids, teens, to their parents in nearly every walk of life, different personalities, opposite requirements, and tried to meet the demands from both ends in many aspects. I think this would be the most precious experience and ability to acquire the mellowness of instruction, consultation, negotiation, intervention, and problem shootings, of which I feel so proud and thus find myself committed as intermediary to improving mutual understanding. The truth is, it is I that learned most from my students. My students are my teachers. They teach much better than I.
Now, I, a 40-year-old perverted bastard, find, that all I've learned would be in vain if it were to be applied for wrong purposes. I will be wasting my talents and expertise when they would not be correctly driven. Luckily, it seems I've found what the purpose is and who granted me the purpose. Who? He is also the one who forgives and forgets my neglect, despite, avoidance, intransigence toward His will upon me that should have been supposed to be carried out 40 years earlier.
I owe Him once.
