Terry Fox Run - T-shirts Sales

Day 172 - 828 days to go

I always believe things happen for a reason. As a result of cancelling my trip to KK climbathon, I got two free tickets to watch the David Foster and Friends Asia Tour 2011. The ticket price is RM389 each. It was a fantastic concert and I have never watched a concert with so many good singers and good songs.

In addition, I have another weekend to sell Terry Fox Run T-shirts at Bukit Aman car park. Within 2 hours, we managed to sell close to 60 pieces. It was selling like hot cakes. My experience about 70% of the people or runners who we met will buy. Of course, part of the reason was that my friend, PK Chan helped me to promote on the spot. He has been running for the past 25 years and hence know a lots of runners. Therefore, friendship and networking is very important even for charity events. Really appreciate his help. Without his help, I think 40 to 50% of the runners we promote will buy. Many of them took part in the charity run before and other heard about it. It was also a good chance to meet up with some runners who are in my facebook and the yahoo group for the first time. I even learned how to promote a running, swimming and cycling event online through a newly met runner.

At night, I had a good family dinner with mum and my family members. It was great to bring mum out as she hardly step out of the house after she got a stroke. Of course, I had a good afternoon nap too after so many weeks without a break from weekend activities.

Therefore, I gained more from wasting the 3 air tickets to KK. The only thing I missed was the opportunity to meet up with other runners in KK.

Happy Events:

1. Achieved quite a bit of things after letting go the trip to KK.
2. Had a good afternoon nap on weekend after so many weeks without break from busy weekend schedule.
3. Had more time with family and my mum from missing the trip.

Creativity: Blessing in disguise or luck is a very important factor in creativity.

Sometimes by chance we meet with certain people at certain event and hence sparks our creative ideas in certain way. Therefore, God's will is very important in creativity and hence we should always follow the flow in life.
