Dumped and Rejected
.
Hey, I got dumped and rejected last week. Dumped on Tuesday and rejected a few times over the week. But never mind. In a way of saying only lah, those occurrences were ancient history actually. I think in life, I am like many others, of which being rejected or dumped happened to many of us. But since we are on the subject, why don't we go ahead...
I always thought that one of the biggest advantages guys have over gals is that we could go on trying to woo someone after a million rejections and no one will say "perigi cari timba". But then is it fair that the timba can cari all the perigi it wanted but not the other way around? Actually, not that it is wrong to do so. If the perigi has got good strong legs and wants to hunt a timba or two, more power to the perigis....
In the late 80's when I was working in Brunei, there was this one guy who wrote his name and phone number neatly and repeatedly over a whole page of A4 size paper, made maybe ten copies and then cut them out and presto, he had maybe 800 pieces of paper that has his name and phone number on it. And believe it or not, he then proceeded to give those out at every opportunity he has, even cutting in front of cars to stop drivers, lady drivers of course and dish out his "business paper". Not business card lorrr, those things didn't qualify as cards. I kid you not. That's when I decided to stay away from him because I rather think that his way is a bit too extreme for me. But thinking about it, he might have something going on there. I mean, at a success rate of 1%, he's got 8 leads. At a success rate of 2%, it is 16!!!!! You don't need better odds than that if you have 800 chances. But then some of us guys might need that number of chances, ha ha ha!!!
But one thing for sure, that guy is a good example of an excellent timba..... So, keep on mengurating.... rejections is part of life and being dumped is just another form of rejection, albeit later. Ouchh.......!!!
