The Call Of Duty Game

Last night I was intrigued of the game started by brother Rex because of the introduction video I'd seen. It's about the world war scene that made me more curious of the game. The game is entitled "Call Of Duty.

In terms of game , I'm so selective on it. I make it sure that I learned some important skills that would be helpful to my life goals. Just like the game "The Caesar". It's about building and managing the development of a certain city from financial, resources , and economic aspects. It's a worthwhile learning experience I'd learned from it.

And now I've been introduced to a kind of objective game of which I begun last night playing the game.

I felt very good from all the obstacles and failures from the said game. I kept on trying and trying of which I observed I had the capability to easily learned the skills and move forward to the next level at a fast rate even from the pressures around the game.

I know this would be beneficial to me , the skills of being objective and result-oriented could be somehow applied to my real life. Thank you!

My Appointment in Cebu Daitoh Corporation

In the morning I made a call to Mr. Mark Manuel, admin of Cebu Daitoh Corp., regarding the appointment we'd set last week. Thanks, he confirmed with a great word "Yes".

I decided to bring with our marketing officer Ms. Hyacinth to take down the notes of our meeting.

It's a long walk from the gate 2 of Mepz1, almost half an hour searching the said company. But a minutes after we got the inside the door of Cebu Daitoh, being warmly entertained by the guard on duty.

We kept silent waiting at the lobby while the guard had made a call to Mr. Mark. A minutes later, we invited by the guard to get in his office. And a glance nearby we had been introduced to him.

I found Mr. Mark, a humble and silent person but easy to provoke a conversation. I offered my hand for a firmed handshake. And the rest is happy history.

The important thing is that I successfully identified their need of an inventory system.

Management Meeting

It had been brainstormed in our management meeting on how we could concentrate effectively our effort of closing the sales. The figure of the number of prospects is quite good. And it brought to our attention that its the right time to make the right move to close the sale.

We congratulated ourselves for maintaining the momentum of our massive marketing effort. In fact, we made an average of finding 5 qualifed prospects per week.

And now its a change gear of our solid effort in closing the sales and gaining good profits for everybody.

Stages of Developing An Unsconscious Competency

I remembered the stages of developing a core competency or success rate being discussed in the PowerSpeak Seminar. Here are the following stages I'm referring to:

Stage 1: Unconscious Incompetent - You are not aware for being incompetent in some aspect of your life. You keep doing things over and over and over again and expecting a different results. I guess that the definition of insanity.

Stage 2: Conscious Incompetent - You are now become aware of your incompetency and make a way for some development or enhancement of your skill. Just like starting to learn on how to ride a bike.

Stage 3: Conscious Competent - Thru constant practice , you now keep on doing what you've learned in your experience that is right to do.

Stage 4: Unconscious Competent - Everything fall behind at your favor without an effort of the process. Just like for in case in brushing our teeth regularly.
