Well, all in all.. plenty of laughs, & a great crash course!

Greatness by CE Flynn

A man is as great as the dreams he dreams, as great as the love he bears;
Asgreat as the values he redeems, and the happiness he shares.
A man is asgreat as the thoughts he thinks, as the worth he has attained;
As the fountainsat which his spirit drinks, and the insight he has gained.
A man is as great as the truth he speaks, as great as the help he gives,As great as the destiny heseeks, as great as the life he lives.

Jusco grocery shopping

i went to jb today, & was at jusco supermart fresh veg section for e first time. Amazing variety & display of fresh greens! i am impressed. They even have an organic selection.

The size of e supermart is between that of a regular-sized ntuc & hypermart carrefour. This jusco is a comfortably large size.

I think prices are generally cheaper than in singapore, no wonder jb supermarts have been drawing spore crowds. The goto jb-for grocery shopping is nothing new, its a first time experience for me, & it was a surprisingly pleasant one.

(jb is johor bahru, city in malaysia which is just across causeway from singapore)

7 Points of Contact

Here's something new that i read (for a newbie like me on e pointers of sales & marketing).
An extract from Upstart, an entrepreneur's newsletter by D.Senn.

"It is very rare that you will be able to inspire enough trust for people to consume your professional services after one contact.

In fact, most marketing experts suggest that you will need at least 7 different customer contact points before your prospect is in a space where they are willing to buy from you. (Examples of contact points include a website view, reading a newsletter, an advertisement sighting, a telephone conversation etc)"
