Standout in life

Most bloggers have done the Standout in life for some beer company sponsored party in town. I am not going to promote the party nor attending one. This topic is kind of interesting to share here.

Is it good to standout in life? Most of us want to be outstanding in something good. However, life may not treat every outstanding person fairly. Do you not agree? This explains the failures we face in life. Maybe I shouldn’t use the word “failures”, “shortcomings” is more appropriate.

Anyway, if I have to say something that makes me different from most people, here they are:

  • I worked with Lee-hom for a couple of years. I met his mother on several occassions. Both our moms met before and this started while I was in university and during the first few years I started working.
  • I co-written a song in one of Lee-hom’s album before.
  • I can play the piano, I draw and paint.
  • I have 9 years of experience with excellent credentials and I am still an exec in my current job.
  • I work 7 days a week; a full-time job, a weekend job and freelancing. Yet I am merely surviving.
  • I am outstanding employee known as the one who got thumbs up from the director and I am getting peanuts from the company. I am the only person doing all the web designing. My employer owns a dozen or more subsidiaries which includes hotels and shopping malls.
  • I have old and sick at home to take care of and I am single with no one to support me.
  • I had breast lump removed 3 years ago.

Do I sound like I want to party? Absolutely not.

Boring stuff

Are you a regular blog follower? I am and I am getting sick of reading about the same stuff and seeing the same people appearing on most of the blogs I follow.

Why so? Blame it on advertising.

This is no longer exciting or fun when the same people got invited to attend launches or were flew somewhere for free holidays over and over again.

As a reader, I don’t really bother to read entries like this anymore.

As a blogger, I feel that this is unfair. There are many more people out there who can give  better reviews because they are into the things they do.

Just because they do not take part in certain blogvertising or they don’t know anyone in the PR company so they don’t get to enjoy free stuff for bloggers eh?

If I am a marketeer looking into blog advertising, I want to be able to select the bloggers I want my products/services to be highlighted on their blogs.

Unless image is not a concern at all. Then you can have a diva taking your next flight to some remote places, complaint about her sufferings while you’re trying to sell you flight destination.

Please find people with more calibre. Being mentioned on blogs don’t mean successful marketing.
