Meeting with people 9/10/2016

Today I went to the event for Home & Business Expo. This event was organized by Chamber of Commerce. I reconnected some people there. There was somebody whom I met back in 2012, and the other people were the fellow classmate of small business class. The other person was the one whom I met at the drumming session long time ago. Everybody remembered me and my name. I was so happy to be able to reconnect with them. And at the last moment, I run into the magazine editor whom I recently met for an interview at the grocery store. I believe everything happens for reasons. I appreciate for today’s synchronicities; they seem to happen naturally but I feel that these people will take an important role for my small business from now on.

My thoughts went back to my younger days. When I was working as a sales manager at the piping company, I often attended the events that were organized by the Chamber of Commerce. The main purpose was to meet many people. One time, I was lucky enough to be chosen as a speaker in front of public.

Those days, one of my customers were working on her presentation for her company. The presentation was about how to preserve the high quality water. She officially asked me for support and advice as I was working as a professional water provider. We did some research on how we can serve people the high quality water. Her company dealt with architecture and my company dealt with water piping lines. After 2-3 months research, she did her presentation at her company, and I did mine at the local Chamber of Commerce.

On the presentation day, I had the audience of 50 people. I was extremely nervous. For the first few minutes of my speech, my voice was really shaky as well as my body. But eventually, I regained being myself and started enjoying sharing my research. All in all, I enjoyed offering my speech in front of people.
