My husband often says I’m a “passive” person, not proactive, or in other words, an “aloof” person!
Perhaps it’s because I highly value intuition and prefer silent observation. If I take initiative, I lose the opportunity to observe. Maybe that’s the explanation! Emotionally, since childhood when I witnessed neighbor couples fighting – in my room at midnight, I could hear the young wife’s heart-wrenching screams from domestic violence. Ordinarily, the man treated the woman well. The man was handsome, the woman beautiful – this was what outsiders saw. I saw that too, but those screams truly left psychological scars. They eventually divorced. That experience probably taught me: I must choose carefully – not necessarily someone handsome or eloquent, but someone genuinely good to me. Absolutely no violence, mutual trust must exist. When reaching marriageable age, among my suitors, I detested playboys who squandered money, let alone those with bad tempers and impatience. Persistent pursuers terrified me! Later I met my current husband. I could sense his sincerity, without pretense or disguise, and respect. So I’m grateful I chose right – at least he’s never laid a finger on me (though this seems like a low bar).
This lengthy relationship talk aims to explain why I still appear passive, or “aloof,” in business now. It’s probably habitual thinking patterns!
I believe my emotional intelligence isn’t low, so I never worried about being unmarriageable. I patiently waited for the right person. Similarly, my persistence in moxibustion, dedication to my products, understanding of market trends, and excellent personal experience using them give me full confidence in my product’s market positioning. Especially after a year of sales, customer feedback and gratitude have strengthened my conviction. For consulting clients: if they truly trust me and sense my sincerity, I’ll open my heart completely; if they doubt product quality or my professionalism, I remain reserved and aloof. I follow my heart. If others can’t sense my authenticity, more words are useless. Just passing strangers without fate. If you don’t approve, I won’t push sales. Good things are rare. I can’t monopolize the moxibustion stick market anyway. Just sell to destined people!
Recently met several people actively seeking cooperation. One progresses slowly, another is ongoing. They’re highly optimistic about prospects, so am I, but I know it’s a process. What satisfies me most at this stage is: maintaining my style, attracting like-minded people, no need to please anyone, just focus on my responsibilities.
Sales numbers don’t move me. What moves me is: people trusting me and my products!
Honesty, dedication, diligence, persistence, contentment – this is the simplest yet most rewarding way to live and work!
Attended a parent-teacher meeting today, reunited with long-unseen parent friends, dined together happily! Friends say my complexion improved, dark eye circles faded, moxibustion marks on neck lightened, figure better! Even happier! Consistent health focus always pays off. This work brings me much joy! Even the building cleaner became my client. She used to buy moxa sticks from pharmacies. Someone who bought from me met her in the hallway. She inquired, found my home, bought a pack to try. Today in the hallway she told me she gave two sticks to her neighbor who found them comfortable and effective, asked her to repurchase. Recently when I was out, she listened for activity at my door and later bought from my husband. So grateful! Actually I always thought this auntie was healthy – glowing complexion, rosy cheeks. Turns out she constantly suffered cold lower abdomen and menstrual cramps despite having grown children. Moxibustion brought relief. She’ll recover with persistent use! Many things are like this – repeating simple effective actions. Persistence is precious! Dogged persistence is enough!
