Simple life

I never thought this job would make my life simpler, God's leading keep letting me see the way i used to think is wrong, bias towards many things.

I thought i was already so complicated, why do i have to go into a field require more complication? In the end i found out this field require people to be simple minded.

Cold call? You don't care whether he is the president of the united states or a drug addicts, you do and say exactly the same thing.

When i go out to meet up with friends, you just take normal stuffs, ask them whether they need insurance, if yes, good, if no, never mind.

I wake up at 8 everyday, arrive at the office at 9, meeting till 10, lunch around 12:30, left around 5-6, dinner appointment if possible. Football on Saturday morning, weekend fellowship, couple drinks at night, sunday morning service, sports and dinner meeting randomly with my peer groups, volleyball, badminton, hiking, football, i guess if it is summer swimming would be in the list too!

Colleagues seldom have interaction, Manulife is such a traditional company can drive active people crazy sitting in the office all day, sometimes i can't bear it i had to go downstairs to play couple games in the game station.

The manager concern about my outlook, the way i talk, whether the right words should be used, no bad feeling, whether the color of the ties fits my shirt, or my hair are too long...

It is like back to boarding school.

I always thought i need a simple life, not that my life weren't simple, my thoughts weren't, so i was convinced if i live a place with a lot of pure people my trouble would go away.

There were time i wanted to hide in Europe, and there was another time i was working in China, maybe i can marry a local girls can settle down for some small business.

Later on i found out if my mind is complicated or i think too much, no matter how quiet and simple the place is, my life will always be complicated.

The wisdom of God is always above human's understanding, my boss say this field is a place for mind game, i disagree, i could not imagine i could find such a simple life in one of the busiest city in the world. Whether what other people think? It doesn't matter.
