Multi-Leveled Meanings

so what is MLM? (multi-leveled marketing)

personally i dont really know..i heard or read about how the system works sometime ago, maybe i didnt fully grasp the idea or i didnt get it at all, but the financial returns are too little in comparison with the effort needed.. thats what i think anyway.

besides, i kinda feel MLM is very much like the Feudal System back in Medieval Europe, where people under that system are forever encased in their "fate". MLM is the modern form of fatalism. correct me if im wrong.

but hey, i know i am the odd one out here because the sheer number of people doing MLM stands as a testimony to how "effective" this form of distribution is. but if we juxtapose that notion with the number of fans jay chou has, it then becomes highly debatable.

the reason why i brought up this topic is because an old friend of mine asked me

-Dave- says:

KilllRoy says:

-Dave- says:

-Dave- says:

-Dave- says:

-Dave- says:

at this point, im really ticked off.. he continued to justify himself saying that he only studied to secondary 3 and hes working very hard now to get money back. he then goes on the offensive again asking me how much money my parents send me a month as fees for my tertiary education.

the calculation is a delicate one. but i didnt bother to explain it to him.

but seriously, unless you have studied a couple of textbooks about the history of my familiy written by academics or scholars backed by evidences and references, DONT talk to me, like you know me.

and if you worship mlm, hey thats your god. its dominion does not transcend my realm.

hahaha, did i tell u how much i LOATHE MLMs? i once met up with a fren n he took me to his office, where his superior talked to me while RECORDING our conversation. yes, u read it right, record! it was scary, like u're being interrogated about how much u know ur family n stuff, but i'm glad i'm not in it. it's a crazy business, i trust dat u earn big bucks given the determination n hard work (LOTS of 'em), IF you have them. otherwise, stick to a 9-5 job, they'll treat u better, give u benefits, n u don't have to worry about hittin sales, unless u're doin sales.

is it Lampe? or Lamp? coz i heard about this too. sounds like a Lamp to me, n it's like.. a few thousand for a lamp if i'm not mistaken. i hear they make good business out of it, but haven't seen one myself. maybe i should google it. hehe

oh, speakin of loathin.. have u tried Kingdom of Loathing?
