Andrewic Idea 0001

Days aren't treating Andrew very well, it has been bad news daily for the past week, but things are finally getting better.

Too good that it is a bit scary in fact.

During a recent trip home from KL, he encountered five traffic lights - ALL of them were green. Andrew is afraid of being lucky, 'cause every time it does, it means something bad is coming his way.

Anyway, he is very looking for his next paycheck because he is going on a major shopping spree.

Speaking of which, he believes that marketing is EVERYTHING, so much so that you need to know how to sell yourself to be able to be successful. And there are so many jobs out there that requires you to sell yourself very well, and a lot of people working such jobs never notices this. One such industry would be the begging industry.

Andrew would like to propose a revolution in the begging industry to be more creative in their begging strategies apart from that usual begging in the torn clothes and broken mug (they got creative by getting grandmothers to act as if their child dump them in the supermarket selling pens and stuff). It is getting boring and people are not buying these strategies anymore. You guys need to sell yourselves better! Be the top of the industry!

To struggling beggars, Andrew had the best idea that would most probably help you, at least for the month of December - when everyone is getting their bonuses.

Since Christmas is coming, you could always beg in one of these:


a Christmas stocking

And err, get a bigger one with a bigger opening (so its easier for people to put money in). These would work better if you are begging outside a church, with all the Christmas spirit going about. You could always apply this on other celebrations like angpows for Chinese New Year and green packets for Hari Raya. Make sure it is a oversized packet though (so you can store more coins and get more attention).

Better still, get a t-shirt saying "Would love some spare change for Christmas".

And this time, try to invest your earnings - you might get rich begging. Comment me if it works, ya.
