It's That Blog Thing
Haha! Where do I start! What a day! Am having my down moments right now, but am not altogether worried, because biblically, God can always remold me. Why am I down? Because I feel I haven't gained anything substancial despite the progression of the day. Yes, it is a business world, but I still have my questions in life.
What's this business innuendo? I think personality changes once you engage in hard selling. I think when you engage in real world projects, your degree or diploma changes its value. I went to two malls today, and am up for malls, because it is a business place. Now, a lot of people engage in my business sense, and I have no problems with that, because I am an open person. I think I've just been bogged down with business all my life that I've learned to be supportive through my openness. Funny thing with openness is, Google is open. I didn't really engage on my openness strategy today at the two malls where this could be another entry. When I was at the Chinese mall, on Dixie Rd. and Eastgate Rd., I investigated what the stores were, and I was amazed because the mall's been open for I think twenty years now, and it hasn't shut down.
So I saw hair salons there, bakery, food court, electronics, eye wear, and I noticed that these businesses are liquid. So I learned something today, and that is, matters don't have to be complicated. A simple ten dollar haircut would be very good to the public (already).
But as I learn business, I have a lot of questions about it. Because the business could be up, it's just that, you have to market it. Marketing meaning, you have to make relational to potential customers. So with these questions I have, I do read business books, and right now am reading "What Would Google Do?" And by this book, I learned that you have to have good relationships with your customers.
Through the course of my life, I've engaged in successful terms and failures. And it's tough, because it's easy to point the finger blaming other people, but really, I point the finger to myself.
And it's okay, if something doesn't sell well, am willing to problematize it. I think I've gone problematic over the years that I have this tavern-like outlook in life. But it's okay. I just feel business is so hard to deal with.
Business is hard, because we've lost values. A lot of businesses are up for intimacy among genders. Like fragrances and looking awesome in clothes are dealt with to be attractive to the opposite sex, but now, through the cheapening of making love, nobody cares anymore. And it's in this lost of value that for example marriages are falling apart. I still feel okay with things, because am learning that values are not taught rather they are caught. And I feel my life has values, and it is something I can give as an inheritance to people. At the mall, people are not only window shopping, but they enjoy the actual walk around.
