A Special Lady -- Angela De Silva



.
It was a great day for many Amway distributors -- the official opening of Amway Malaysia Grand New Headquarters in Petaling Jaya. Distributors of various achievement level, from every parts of Malaysia, were anxiously waiting for this great moment. A milestone for Amway Malaysia and a Monument of Success of all distributors' efforts.

I was there to witness the efforts of all parties, happily meeting up with old friends, chatting on latest developments. There in the crowd, I saw this familiar face -- Angela, my mentor and my up up upline Triple Diamonds. I have not met her for some time, as she spend quite a bit of time in Canada. I will not forget how Angela and late Dr. Gerry's enthusiasm on Amway business. I should have addressed them Dato & Datin as they have received the award from Yang di Pertuan Agong, but by calling their names, bring back the sweet memories we shared through the years of sharing thoughts & building the business under their guidance.

I can still recall how resisted I was, when my husband's childhood friend trying to invite both of us to listen to the presentation. The mental block was so great that I managed to find various excuses not to be there, but our sponsors never give up on us. To cut the story short, we met Foo Howe Kean and then later, late Dr. Gerry & Angela. We become great friends, the rest are history.

I love the business, not because it is a great opportunity to have financial gains; it is the complete offer of life styles : Freedom, Family, Hope, Reward. Besides listening to the founders of Amway : Jay Van Andel & Rich De Vos, we have been listening to Dr. Gerry & Angela talking on intergrity, attitudes, responsibility, values, mission, vision etc. These are the things that we do not learn in schools or universities. Values & Believes that I practise and uphold until today, it has become a part of my life. My children inherited the positive mental attitudes, values of intergrity while listening to us when we are talking on these fundamentals to our friends and downlines.

I am glad that in every different stage of my life, I am given the opportunity to meet some one great. Angela, you have shared with me and taught me many things in life, Thank you.

  1. What the MCA party doesn't has today is what you emphasized: integrity, attitudes, credibility, responsibility, values, mission, vision etc. Unfortunately, most of the people there is looking great opportunity to have financial gains from it! How pity!

  3. We can't force people to believe what we believe; we just have to go on with what we believe because the person we have to answer to is ourselves. Right?
