Direct selling .. join me or be my enemy!

My life in the past few months has been filled with so many talk on direct selling on health products. I have nothing againts them, don't get me wrong. I do feel if you believe in the product and you think others will benefited from them sure go ahead and preach.

Naturally, I have been approached by few of them to consume or use their products. And of course, ultimately to become an active member and sell it to other consumers. That's how direct selling makes money anyway. What really bothers me was these direct seller sometimes were overly aggresive. There is one time I told my friend I wasn't interested in it because I don't need it now. He will twist and turn the questions back to you saying "could you share with me why the product is not good for you?". They love to corner you left and right, so you are totally defenseless and give in to them. Or "the supplement is good for you, and you should take you now if you like prevention to help you to ease your pain as you grow older". In another word, there is no reason you don't eat my products!

Come on! Give me a break. Yes, everyone needs prevention, but I believe in moderation. In the past, why are people living longer? Its really down to the question of your lifestyle. I believe in eating moderately, watching your diet, excercise and avoid harmful products. I know it's hard these days, but that's the fact for healthy living. By wobbling 12 pills a day and you were hoping these "magic pills" will save your precious life. Even if the product is good, still I don't think I will stock up hundreds or thousand of dollars of products to consume and sell it to others. The pressure of making more money as I will put it.

Just last night, when I was complaining I was sneezing, my family told me to take the supplement. Then later when I complaint my shoulder was pain, then again, the magic supplement again. I am totally exhausted listening to all these preaching. If it works for you good, as for now, I don't need it. By the way, it's not cheap because so many level of people waiting for you to invest so they can pocketed your money!

Someone told me of this Singapore lady who was so convinced in supplement that she only eats supplement during her pregnancy.. she didn't eat normal food.. and guess what, she had a miscarriage. So I agree with you that all things must be consumed in moderation.

When people preached to me about health food - I always say no to them by saying that I don't have money. The next time someone asked you to share the reason you think their supplement is not good, just say, NO MONEY.
