NEVER LIE TO YOUR CUSTOMERS!



Lie is a very very bad effort to reach something we want. But, we often did it because of several reasons.

But..., in business world it's not allowed. It's completely forbidden. Why?

Try to imagine whether you lie to somebody you owe! You don't pay the money you should give. Then, someday you will borrow his/her money again. Do you think that he/she will lend you the money again? I don't think so, Mate.

Nah! The same thing can also be happened if we trick our customers. As a good seller, we may not do that, if we don't want to lose our store's visitors.

In  many cases, businessmen or entrepreneurs did a lie to their customers without being realized. They gave an advertisement which trapped the customers in a wrong perception. It's a big mistake.

For the example, Mr. X promotes the new beverage of his restaurant. He wrote in a giant billboard, "FOR 50 CENTS, YOU CAN FEEL THE FRESH"

Then, an old man comes to his restaurant. He is a beggar, thirsty, and he has only 50 cents on his hand. But actually, a glass of the beverage is priced for 55 cents, because of 10 % tax. The old man becomes disappointed then. He just walks out the restaurant within his eyes staring on the floor, because he's failed to feel the fresh like displayed on the billboard.

Perhaps, we will be sad in seeing such situation - other side, we don't blame Mr. X.

But actually, Mr. X's advertisement should explain whole price "clearly" that a customer should pay. Even though it's a simple matter; if we stand as the old man, we'll feel cheated of course - because we could not get what we had planned. We made a plan as far as we knew.

So, do we think that the old man will come again to the same restaurant someday???

Mr. X is hopping the big income from his advertisement, but in other side he potentially cheats the customers. It will be meant: he can damage his business.


PS: A good information is something clear to see.

PUBLIC'S ENEMY NO. 1

What is the public's enemy no. 1? Is there someone of you who can guess it?
........................
Yes! If you answer "corruption", it's going to be right.

Why???

Here are the reasons why we can tell corruption as public's enemy no. 1.

First
Corruption is amoral attitude - while we see it from positive law, even from religious view. A grafter will be seen as a villain in the eyes of most people.

Second
Corruption is similar to stealing other people's rights. So, it will give the disadvantages to some people surely.

Third
Corruption is not only able to damage one side, but also many sides. It can break social structure and system. It brings domino's effect in a long period. So, it potentially makes society collapsed. Many countries or nations had ever felt this situation.

Fourth
Corruption will not break physical structures only, but also mental structures. In a corrupt country, the judges; police; and other law enforcement agents, have a big potency to be dishonest, non-dedicated persons. If there's no leader to be trusted, people will act as they like (in law or not).

Fifth
A corrupt country will lose its legitimation. If this situation's happened to the government or executive side, step by step the country will be collapsed.

Sixth
Corruption take the chances of a nation to develop and to raise, because in a corrupt government; there are no free education, health care, or other basic needs for citizens.


Last
However, corruption will attack the actors at last - soon or later. If you do the right thing, it will come to you; and vice verse. Take a look around the grafter's hood or family! Is it good - in a real meaning?

So, will we still be interested to be corrupt persons?

I LOVE MY MOTHER


Love you, Mom!!!

The only one woman I trust a long my life time has just been my mother. She gave me everything she could share - even though she got nothing for her own. Her kids are priority.

Her loyalty to a husband she loved is the greatest thing I've ever seen as long as my life time. When a man was hard to handle the family, she took over; and she did it so well; so gently; so tenderly.

She's the best. And, I've never seen a girl like her yet. Though, I hope it.

If I saw her, then I stared at the wild wild world, I'll find a large difference. I felt sad while seeing on the world, meanwhile I felt that I lived in an utopia land whenever I was near her.

She has always given all her love to me, though there's a quite long distance between us. She really believes me.

It taught me that there's no space for love, for a true love.

I love you, Mom! And, may Almighty God bless you! Paradise for you! Amiin!

There's a shadow scaring me on the wall
There's a sound vibrating my heart to fall

Then you just give me a call

Healing me with your attention all
