I almost DID NOT become an Estate Agent

 

28 years ago I quit my corporate job

.... to become a full-time estate agent


But I wasn't sure which agency to join !!


Back then there were only a handful of firms.

Among the notable ones was Resource Realty

( helmed by the legendary Warrick Singh

a.k.a Warrior Singh ... who is the king of Bangsar,

Damansara Heights & Ampang )



So I went to his office in Taman Tun Dr Ismail.


BUT when I reached the Ground Floor,

I hesitated to go up the staircase.


Questions were circling in my mind

--  What if I cannot perform ?

--  What if I can't close any deal ?

--  What if I am just a lousy estate agent ?


After walking up 5 steps,

FEAR gripped me ... i panicked ...

So i chickened out and went home ...

But that was almost 28 years ago.



Today I had lunch with this Warrior

but i did not tell him about my dark secret

.... of having jittery feet back then ....


IF i had the courage to go up the stairs,

and joined him and be mentored by him,

do you think I will also become a LEGEND

.... just like the legendary Warrick Singh

instead of just being a small-time agent ... 

Ejen anai-anai ....???

Buy VIRTUAL Land ?

 

Who in the right frame of mind

would spend their REAL MONEY 

to buy land in the imaginary Virtual World ?


When i saw this advertisement, 

it appears that this thing called METAVERSE

is now making the REAL WORLD much worse !!





This is what the advertisement said :


Earth 2® is a futuristic concept for 

a second earth; a metaverse, between virtual 

and physical reality in which real-world
 
geolocations on a sectioned map correspond 

to user generated digital virtual environments. 

These environments can be owned, bought, 

sold, and in the near future deeply customized.



A virtual 1:1 scale version of Earth 

is inevitable and Earth 2® is the beginning of this 

exciting future. Phase 1 is now live and represents
 
the central global body that aims to determine

 ownership of digital assets and property inside 

this futuristic virtual metaverse of Earth. 



And you already can see the first humble beginnings 

of what will unfold into an economic simulation
 
destined to provide Earth 2® with all the materials
 
it needs to build our dream.











Built on top of MapBox technology, 

we have created a geographically linked 

digital grid layer that spans across the entire planet 

allowing people to claim ownership of Virtual Land 

in the form of tiles. It is our vision that Virtual Land 

will increase in value over time based on demand,
 
location and earning potential, much the same way
 
that physical land does, so be sure to claim your 

own land in key locations around the world early on!



The Earth 2® trading platform, 

Phase 1, is now live. This trading platform allows

 people to search, claim, purchase or bid on any
 
piece of Virtual Land around the world! 

You can also name the land you purchase 

and the land you own will be saved for you 

permanently as future phases of Earth 2® roll out.

==================================

My question is very simple ---

In the REAL WORLD there is only

ONE Earth ..... so what happens if other promoters

start to sell More earths .... Earth 3, Earth 4, Earth 5,

and so on .... creating MANY Earths ?
