I have always believed that we must first sow the seeds of hard work, determination and endurance before we could reap the rewards of achievement, success and self fulfillment.
That is why I work hard on submitting the contest forms at the petrol stations.
Some of my friends think that this is a waste of effort so they do not bother to fill up the forms and drop them into the lucky draw boxes. I, on the other hand, think otherwise simply because 1 form = 1 chance! Yep, i am a person who likes taking chances :P
I am glad of my persistence because a couple of years ago, I was rewarded of my hard work!! I REALLY won a prize from Shell! It was a wonderful feeling! So naturally, I continued to do so ~
The other day i received an SMS, congratulating me for winning $25,000 from Shell. I was very skeptical (Hmmm... when will i learn to trust? hahahaha). It looked like a scam but I should confirm it. What if it's real? :P
So i asked my friend who works for Shell.
Wow, i am a winner!
Guess what?
She confirmed that it's fake.
Damn! What a shame!
