Birthdays, Milestones and Passion

How often do we meet someone who shares the exact birth date as us? Well, I just did.

In my training batch, there are about 30 of us, but only 3 of us are born in the same year. So today, I asked this guy when his birthday is, and I got a shock when he said '1st July.'

I was stunned and asked him if he was for real. Then we even took out our ICs to compare. We were so ecstatic. What a coincidence. What are the odds of something like that happening?

It's Week 2 of my 6-week training prog, and my boss dropped by today and informed me about my posting. I'm kinda excited, it's something for me to look forward to. My boss is an extremely charismatic man, and I'm sure he was a brilliant salesman. Then again, all the honchos we met during orientation and training were all oozing charisma. Perhaps that's sales for you.

I went back to conduct my BC class at Chevron this evening. Man, I miss being in action! I was so high today, not because of the 50 plus people packed in the small room which made it stuffy, but because I was simply glad to be back.

Nobody has any idea how lost I felt last week when I wasn't conducting classes. It really felt like a part of my life was taken away from me.

Today is my 388th BC class. An auspicious number for some with all the 8s. I still count all my classes and I still record the tracks for each class. It's unnecessary but I just love doing all that.

For my past few classes, I've been giving it my all and conducting it like it's my last class. I still feel very enthusiastic for each class, as though I'm fresh out and it's my first chance.

Opportunities don't come by easily, and I know that in this line, where time isn't on my side, the opportunity could always be my last and I will treasure every moment of it.

Only a person who has lost something close to their hearts will treasure every moment of what they have.
