Today was the last day of trading...and although it was just 2 days, I have learnt a lot. Anyway, some background info...trading is part of my retail diploma curriculum whereby we have to do selling. This time round, many of us complained...reason? 12 of us were assigned to just one pushcart and so, most of us had to do direct selling where we carried a basket of the snacks and went around the school, approaching ppl, asking them to buy.
initially, i had no mood to sell. i attribute that to two factors. firstly, we had our hands full with projects. secondly, i was affected by everyone else complaining about how pointless it was such that i totally lost the mood to sell. But i felt rather ashamed of myself when i saw how my fren maintained good cheer and motivated all of us to hit a certain target. it was because of her spurring that we managed to hit a record sales figure.
Well, it was from her that i was reminded of one basic principle that i was taught years back, and that was to give my best in all that i do. it may seem pointless and like a waste of time, but if we can do nothing to change the situation, then we can only make the best out of it!
