Tears shed

In my almost 10years of biz, I have cried in front of a client on 3 occasions..

1) When I was in my initial years of biz, 1st year if I'm not wrong, a client asked me out for a movie. 

We watched Switch (an amazing Adam sander movie). In tt movie, the main character had this remote control which allowed him to fast forward time, rewind etc.. Basically all the stuff a normal remote shld be able to do.. Even mute..

So over time, it became a habit for him to fast forward boring stuff and duties..

Till a point this remote had a mechanism where it stalls the 'favourites' of the user..

Which means things he used to fast forward eventually fast forwarded itself..

Oh, this dude was busy earning money n trying to climb up the ranks.. In exchange he missed out time with his family n wife..

So anyway at tt point of my life, I really felt imbalanced.. In terms of time management and all.. Was rushing sales most of the time.. N was still under Peter's micro managing.

Some point of the movie, I cried.. Cos I 'felt' sooo much of what the main character was going thrgh...

Was a little embarrassing to have cried in front of a client.. Hahah... Thgh it was in the darkness of the cinema. But he knew la.. (He was trying to 'chase' me.. So I was trying to remain emotionally unavailable)

But he saw my weak point! Haha.. 

Yup, so tt was the 1st time!

2) The 2nd time had lesser of a story to it.. My client's dad passed away..

This happened last year..

I have personally seen and spoken to the dad before.. This client's mum had stroke  n passed away a few years back too.. He's the only child..

So when the dad passed on, I felt sooo sad for him.. Being on his own at such a young age!

Having to deal with everything and all.. An orphan..

I broke down at the funeral when he was telling me about his dad's last days... :(

3) Today is the 3rd time! It's this couple clients who is going thrgh a divorce..

I knew the wife first and the husband eventually took up a plan frm me.. But was never tt close to him..

Today he shared with me the story that lead to their divorce... And I've learnt so much.

I'll write about it proper soon.. Cos I wanna remember this forever.. N let it be a lesson that wp n I won't have to go thrgh..

Anyway when he talked abt the sadness of not seeing his children n how much he wants to see them, I broke down..

It just felt so wrong...

Yup, so these are the 3 times so far.. Will write more abt the 3rd one asap...

Meanwhile this pumping session only allows me to write this much! Hahah...

Till nxt time!
