Have you ever wondered how the malays get on about in their business?
In proper business etiquette,it is considered polite that u give ur name card to a person when that person gives his/hers to u handing it out with both hands.
And then say 'This is my name card' or something and then continue with the conversation.
You don't say 'Taknak shortcut2 to you lah,nanti apa2 I go thru S,taknak jump to you lah.'
Is that considered as rude?Cos the reason we actually handed out the card is because it is of proper social/business etiquette to exchange business cards.We weren't looking for any extra business or something.This is all to build repo amongst the circle of contacts we have. Not that we want more business from them.
Anarkia experienced that earlier on when he went to cover a videoshoot for fren S.
Ntah lah...thsi fren S has been on Anarkia's nerves for the last few months. He tried to persuade Anarkia's buddy who is Anarkia's cameraman to join him despite knowing the fact that he is together with Anarkia. Maybe his intentions were good. But he should have known better than to do what he did. Anarkia's company has only one main cameraman which is the guy R. So he should know that if he had asked R to join him, Anarkia wud be shorthanded.
Maybe he wants to bring the person along together with him in his quest for success. But he oredi has a cameraman and has an entire contacts of cameraman. So why does he have to pursue R? Well it is lucky that R wasn't influenced by him. Which both me and Anarkia are glad.
The thing is..in the malay business world, why does there be backstabbings? Even with the person who has helped you a lot? Agaknya orang melayu tamak ke? Ntah lah... I dun have the answer to that. To me,having a business means you have to be realistic,honest and straightforward. Never be too trusting cos sometimes trust can more than often, let you down.
You have to be honest in doing what you're doing. No matter if your business is small or big,the thing is with honesty everything will be smooth flowing.
Ok lah enough of me rambling.
I think I found the perfect thing to update my blog with.lol.
Have a nice weekend ppl!!
