Ok, let me talk abit about what I have been up to these few days.
Actually, I'm undergoing training with Prudential for the financial advisor I yet to be. To the people around who know that I'm doing this, their first reaction was, "I don't want to buy hor", "Don't find me ah", or something along that line. At first I was pretty disappointed, even if they are not interested, the least they could do is show some support.
When I think back about my reaction then, I realise I was the one in the wrong. Putting myself in their shoes, most probably I would say the same to a would-be financial advisor. Frankly, only 1 friend did express interest in it. And when I asked his reason for it, this was it, "Hmmm, I think insurance is a must no matter what because we never know what will happen.." And that's true.
I truely salute him, for even I, before this training didn't even give two hoots about insurance. But now I know the magic of it, the miracle of it and the blessing to have it. Maybe at my current age, people still don't realise what's the value of human life. If I die now, how am I ever to repay my parents, what they have put into nurturing me all these 20 years? And it took me 20 years and so many teachings to realise this.
I'm proud to say that I have a good agency backing and a very supportive manager who's willing to groom me, and not forgetting my parents who will always be behind me.
Of course, I know how awkward it feels for me to approach friends in this business. Too many people around have lost countless friends on this basis. Don't worry, I won't even mention anything about it. But those that are interested in wealth accumulation and risk management, can always feel free to call me, but I must say, I'm not even 21 yet therefore I am not an advisor! I can always share what I know.
