Attended this "business" meeting with Kamla yesterday. It was about a business, but I still can't help being skeptical about it--since it involves the words "networking" and "selling." Maybe I'd be successful as a stock broker. Or not. My Neopets portfolio is unsightly. I mean, okay, so I bought -33.33% stocks. I mean, really now, it can't get any lower than that. If it at least stabilizes into a +0, then the money I bought it will have increased to a +33.33%
Do the laws of Physics apply in the stock market? Do they? Do they???
I wouldn't know. First of all, I did not listen to my Physics classes back in senior year. And next, I'm not even sure if the stock market follows reality--it's like...invisible at some degree. And it takes a lot of researching to understand a few aspects of stock exchange.
So back to what I learned in that meeting. It was awfully good.
After much discussion about the business, the bi-major former Atenista (Chemistry+Computer Sciences) convinced us by presenting future needs for a "simple life". A simple life would mean, say, a house, a car, a spouse, a few travels every now and then and, the best possible education for your children--necessities and whims included. Which somehow resulted to...TWENTY MILLION PESOS.
So...how do I get P20,000,000 during my whole lifetime? How? HOW? HOW??? But that was the point of the business. Persuasion. But, the way you get Twenty Mils is not the point of this blog.
Ahem. Aherrrrm.
Just think, what about the rest of the 90% of the Filipino population who neither belongs to the A and B classes?
But that just gives me motivation to actually get money and find a good husband. I'm not being materialistic. I want to get to do what I want, but not all the time--which dries out the passion. It's just that I love my future family. And I would want to raise a good one. This isn't a pang of motherhood biting into my skin, it's more like, hm, foresight.
That meeting made me think twice about things. My habits, my decisions, the words that come out of my mind, and the people I surround myself with.
