WHY DO PEOPLE BEHAVE THE WAY THEY DO

I have not been posting on my blog for the past 3 weeks. I had been really busy getting ready to take over a company and preparing for the World-famous Little Angels Charity Concert in Kuala Lumpur this coming Sunday. To say that I have been busy is an understatement. I have been burning the candle both ends.



Still, it has not been a reluctant involvement. I see the end result of the funds going to deserving charities involving the poor and the needy and I know that all the hard work will be worth it. The problems related to the concert are numerous and what is worse is that the people who have committed to make the ticket sales have not done what they were supposed to do - sell!



All these people have 'great' excuses but the truth of the matter as I see it is that they did not even try to sell the tickets that were allocated to them. Then as a response, they had to think of all the most innovative excuses to eaplain away their lack of results. What a shame - people who hold responsibiities who don't even quite bother to try.



The selfishness of people is nowhere better seen than when the pressure is on. They blame others, they blame their wives, they blame the dog, they blame the weather but they avoid looking at themselves. The fact of the matter is that such people are abject failures who cannot do and achieve things and who are too embarassed by what others will think of them if they went around asking for assistance. Sad - so sad!



Then, there are those who think that someone soliciting for a response for them to attend a concert is such a big crime. I simply sent a simple email to her husband asking him to consider buying tickets to come for the concert and said that if he did not respond, I will understand. The wife came up to my wife's office and threw a huge tantrum asking that I stop approaching her husband for any more such requests.



I felt so happy when I heard about this tantrum. I knew that I had gone beyond the ordinary in working for the success of this concert which will see all the proceeds going to the poor and the needy. As for this silly petty woman, I feel sorry for her. Such a woman will go through the rest of her life trying to dominate and subjugate everyone around them thinking that money can buy everything. Funny she didn't make any noise when her husband called me to help him open the Philippines market and I took the trouble of making a trip all on my own expense to Manila to help his Manager see people I knew.
