I have just finished reading 'The monk who sold his Ferrari' by Robin sharma, an Indian writer of U.S origin and a highly sought after speaker on Motivation. The book is a easy-to-read and pinpoints exactly what the problem lies as far as most of our lifestyle goes. We immerse ourselves in our work completely oblivious to our suroundings, our family etc intent only in the pursuit of money hoping that that will pave the way for a happy retirement. This book is a wake-up call to all those people who like Julian Mantle, the person this book talks about, spend every moment of their waking hour chasing the elusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow which in the author's opinion turns out empty in the end.
The author has opted to get his point across in the form of a fable which helps to keep the reader glued to the book. The fable isn't a fable in the real sense but a series of metaphors that the protagonist has created to help him remember the seven steps to attain enlightenment. The points raised by the author are thought-provoking and highly relevant in today's fast paced world where you find so many broken marriages, burn-out and a high percentage of stress related ailments even amongst young people. Many of the advices, we have already heard. Things like "Take time to spend time with family", "Take the time to enjoy your surroundings etc" are not new to many of us and we have heard people say these things already. However, this book puts these points acrosss in a way that makes even the non-believers pause and listen so as correct themselves in case they haven't done so already. Of course there's some new stuff as well including noble ones like "Live a life of purpose" rather than asking what the world has done for you. The author asserts that there is joy in "giving to others" and dedicate oneself to the service of manking. The author also assures us periodically that this needn't necessarily mean that we let go of our present lives and become an ascetic though the protagonist has become one more out of necessity borne by his physical condition than by choice. Another aspect that the author would like to consider is to stop living for others and do what appeals to one's inner self. For example, somebody with artistic talents would be miserable if he were made to do clerical duty. This ofcourse means that risks have to be taken as someone with a family to feed would hardly let go of his lucrative career for personal satisfaction.
The book however much the author tried to disguise it, does at some point begin to look like taking a pill. Also the metaphors chosen by the author are debatable in some cases. The author has done the right thing by choosing the foothills of the himalayas as the backdrop for his narration. However the presence of a sumo wrestler and the mentioning of 'kaizen', a concept of japanese origin, makes one wonder if the author is himself convinced in the first place. The book overall is a good read and a must for anyone who places work above everything else.

2020.05.14酒店舞廳可不可復業?酒店小姐的基本介紹跟工作內容台北市長柯文哲今天在議會表示,他還是等陳時中,「他(陳時中)不宣布,我(柯文哲)就來宣布」。柯又提到,市府正在評估5月25日第二波要解封的部分。對於我在酒店上班的日子有媒體解讀,北市府25日將解封酒店小姐一定有S?酒店舞廳?梁小尊表示 八大行業是哪八種行業呢?,柯文哲今天上午至議會專案報告職場須知 【酒店PT 】答詢時,從未提及5月25日將解封酒店、舞廳等地點。梁曉尊強調,5月25日起將啟動酒店打工第二波解封場館名單,至於八大行業解封日期仍在討論中,對於如何落實防疫新生活運動四原則,本府已正式行文衛福部,盼中央能給予執行方式與裁罰規定。

2020.05.23酒店小姐的基本介紹跟工作內容八大世界的融資邏輯在性交易不合法、陪侍業遊走於法律邊緣的情況下,酒店公關與我在酒店上班的日子性工作者常被屏除在社會安全網與信用制度外,幾乎不可能和銀行等金融機構借貸,辦房貸、車貸時需要人頭,這時就會向恩客或經紀人求援。經紀人除了確保酒店打工小姐們工作時的安全、陪上下班跑店接送、情緒低落時灌心靈雞湯外,也經常是她們的債主甚至信用保證人,要放貸酒店上班-酒店兼職-兼差如何達成人生的第一桶金必須自己口袋夠深,也有不少經紀人酒店兼差不是一個複雜的工作環境?被借錢借到倒。「我會借出去的款項,基本上都是我覺得沒有還也還好的數目,當然也要評估妹仔有沒有這個產值,正妹優先。」一名酒店經紀這樣談自己的借錢哲學職場須知 【酒店PT 】:「一個相貌普通的妹仔開口就要借個十幾萬,是不會有正常人想理她的,何況有的妹仔連上一任經紀人的錢都沒還完呢!」在顏值與人頭都能變現的世界,經紀人除了用各種管道開發有意進八大淘金的新血,有的也會從同行手中「洗妹」,像洗牌一樣把屬意的小姐洗到自己旗下,或是用妹海戰術賺錢。一個酒店小姐的經紀約平均交易價格是三萬元,有債務的則另議前後任經紀的償還比例,越弱勢的就會面臨越嚴苛的勞動條件。在肺炎疫情餘波未平、政府宣布八大全面歇業之際,手上銀彈多的經紀能「危機入市」,然而,洗妹要不犯江湖忌諱是一門大學問,擋人財路如殺人父母,事小的道歉包個紅包做結,大者是會動拳腳刀槍來拼命的。酒店、養生館為了店內秩序,禁止小姐們交流薪資與經紀人抽成比例,也難防耳語傳聞「唉呦你的公司怎麼這麼苛?我一節就拿多少多少說!」「你這麼正,怎麼在這邊上不好?你經紀人都不想辦法的噢?」「我可以幫你介紹某某,某某會幫你如此這般……」知道水深的老鳥不是幾句甜言蜜語過個水就洗得動,但在無限期停業的政策推一把後,頓失生計的八大基層會衍生多少糾紛、呆帳與治安問題?這些問題又會如何反饋到「光明社會」的這一面,恐怕不是此一時能夠斷言的。八大因疫情停業並不會讓情慾需求消失,一名應召站幹部說,「如果大家能滿足在家裡打手槍,那一開始就不會來了。」除了多與嫖客喇賽疫情的五四三,他依舊周休一日每天值班十二小時,整理新的花名冊,戮力為客人仲介各式各樣的溫柔。站在道德的相對高點,質疑他人的職業選擇、想像做八大一定日進斗金、要求紓困補助都是貪婪很容易,深入了解不同族群的苦衷、共同承擔困境永遠是最艱難的,希望在這波尚無配套的八大歇業命令後,大家可以思考:膝反射式的傲慢是否和瘟疫一樣致命?

2020.08.24不敢來酒店上班-酒店打工的原因雖然我不知道這篇貼文是否有人願意看但我們有義務表達我們在八大行業-酒店工作的想法與立場酒店小姐的基本介紹跟工作內容許多人對八大行業-酒店都有所誤解,認為是偏門社會中不正派的人在做的工作但是你們有沒有想過?我們我在酒店上班的日子依然是服務業的一環,也是憑著自己的努力在賺錢,這當中一定也有些毒瘤在破壞我們的名聲,酒店兼差不是一個複雜的工作環境?在這行我們看了太多人在這花花世界沈淪,許多剛入行很乖巧的妹妹,入行後整個人變調了。開始吃藥、吸毒、每天開趴..活在EDM的世界裡當初的初心?忘了吧?
酒店小姐去酒店上班都一定要出場接s嗎?最後整個人走針...只是為了買毒而賺錢!在此我們必須鄭重表示!!!
有吃藥吸毒習慣的人我們不收!!!酒店小姐上班通常會取什麼名字?入行後若發現有吃藥吸毒也一律下檔永不錄用!!我們雖然也要賺錢,但這種缺德錢,我們寧願不賺,因為我們並不想妳為了吃藥吸毒,毀了妳下半輩子。
每個人心中都有一個美好的夢想,只是有的人在這個殘酷的社會中...他們會把夢想放在內心最深處的地方,不再被提起...直至遺忘..當然有的人就會全力以赴去追求自己想要的夢想,畢竟只要自己行的正,何必在意外界的眼光,所有的成功人士都只會專注在自己的目標而有目標的人,才沒空理會那些甘願活在平凡的人許多年輕妹妹會來問我們八大好不好賺?我很老實回答好賺!非常好賺!
可以短期賺到妳希望的財富但是我會反問妳為什麼需要快速賺到這些錢呢?如果妳是因為家裡很需要錢
如果妳是為了實現自己想創業的夢,只要是正當理由,我們都非常願意幫妳協助妳,我們也會要妳設立一個期限。妳打算在八大圈待多久?因為我們有義務必須告訴妳正確的金錢觀念,畢竟我們這裡只是妳人生的一塊跳板,我們也會不時提醒妳!千萬不要覺得錢好賺,所以開始忘了開源節流,甚至當初努力奮鬥存錢的決心也忘了,我們只幫家裡真的有困難的年輕女孩或是有創業資金需求,有人生目標的女生,並且幫助她一段時間內賺到得她需要的錢!。
