Found this interesting
A week ago...
Recently I had a brother who does life insurance for a living call me to see if I was interested in a offering, Since I was keen on taking up a insurance policy for my 1 year old daughter for her education purpose 20 years down the line I told him that he can come over,
Fast forward today
He comes over with his Manager (not a jdub) and we have a long chat about the various long term insurance plans... I found it very strange that a guy who believes that the world end is imminent would be so keen on selling me a policy with a tenure of 20 to 25 years .. in my mind , I'm thinking " Is he serious ?? "
Well after I agree to buy a policy for my child and specifically stating that its for her future education to pursue whatever higher education she likes, The Manager encourages me saying " that's amazing , cos of education will increase in the future so on etc "... BTW I live in a developing country when education is NOT free...
So I'm done with all the paper works and the manager leaves, So its just me and the brother ( who is a MS by the way )
I asked him, doe she really think I made a good choice paying for a expensive insurance plan for 20 years with good returns considering the end was so near..he was DUMBSTRUCK I aksed the question, he took a moment and hesitated and said this !!!!
he was like "I don't ever think the world will end anytime soon "
Do I sense another dissenter .... perhaps a fellow man.... I'm excited :)
