Being a door-to-door surveyor is never easy from the start. I guess in Singapore, most of the residents have bad experience with sales personnels knocking on their doors to sell their products. Some even have been cheated by con-man who tried to trick them in giving them money. After today, I have came to a conclusion. And that is, "Indians are nice people." Why?
1)They open their doors and treat whoever appear in front of them like their guests.
2)They are patient in listening to what you have to say before judging you.
3)They do not stereotype.
4)They are really helpful people who answer your questions to their best knowledge.
5)Though they might look unapproachable on their outlook, when they smile at you after you thank them for their time, it just warms your heart.
the list goes on and on..
I'm not saying that other races are lousy people but perhaps, they are not that helpful. Maybe, they have this natural instinct in them to "defend" when someone actually "attack" their houses. Well.. It's just Day 3 and I still have 2 more weeks to go. I hope that I will meet more kind-hearted souls who are willing to help in my surveys. These surveys are actually quite meaningful anyway(I don't say this because I get to earn $ out of the surveys).
Also, I must really thank my baby for helping me with the administrative work.
