Phew!
I've finally finished my job - distributing flyers:)
This is my second time I've been distributing flyers, both times for Kopitiam. I'm personally glad that it was discount coupons that I was supposed to distribute as it's relatively easier to distribute compared to brochures.
I feel that distributing flyers is a physically tiring job but still worth a try. While distributing flyers, I learn more about the different kinds of people there are out there. One might be puzzled as to why I say this is so. Well, I get to know more about them by the different ways they accept or reject the flyers. Some accept or refuse the flyers with a polite smile, nod or shake of the head. Sadly, there are others who ignore you totally, giving an aloof look should they happen to make eye contact with you. This act usually upsets me, even more so when others follow suite.
Someone once asked me how many pedestrians would accept the flyers after taking one from me. Being in a hurry to continue with my work, I replied that the majority would accept the flyers. I gave much thought to that question later on in my free time and my estimate was that about 50% of the people offered would accept the flyers, though the percentage would most probably differ in different places and situations. For example, giving flyers at the entrance of an escalator would usually have more people accepting as they can read it while on the escalator and conveniently throw it into the dustbin located at the other end.
Lastly, I feel that we should all be "gracious and civillised people"[quoted from ms chan XD] Though we are paid to give out flyers, I hope that everyone can be polite when refusing or accepting flyers and the same goes for those distributing the flyers.

I've just found this in the web and feel it's really meaningful, a smile is a symbol of joy and happiness, so who wouldn't want one? :)
I've got to catch some sleep now, remember to tag! It really is quite a bother to get a new code every time my account expires because it's been inactive for too long :)
CYA!
