"Becoming The Best Pen Collector You Can Be!"‎

Dear China Pen Lovers,

"First think as a Lover, then as a collector"

Any one can learn and collect pens, but to take a pen and turn it into a life long hobby is one of the keys to getting great satisfaction. May I suggest that most people DO NOT like to feel as though they have been "tricked" or "fooled" when buying a pen, instead they like to know that they have taken part in good hobby in constantly renewing their spirit. Have you asked yourself why you want to do with all the pens you have collected? Is it for the fame and fortune or because you have a passion to write with the pens you collected?

"First think as an lover, then as a collector"

I always state "Collectors worry about 'How do I do it?' Instead of 'Why' do I do it? There in lies one of the biggest problems -- there has to be a reason. Collecting pens intrinsically is an illogical thing, but you can do it at least in a logical way. You ask, what's more important to me – a satisfaction to my inner heart or my logical brain? I would rather hold a cheap pen pleasing my heart than an expensive pen fearing it will be stolen. It's essential to create uniqueness about yourself - separate yourself from the masses" choose a pen you like and use it to bring out your character.

This weekend, let China Pen King brings our passion for chinese culture with a promotional White Lotus Fountain Pen – 3 pieces only.

The lotus is the most admired of China aquatic flowers, possibly by virtue of its Buddhist associations. There is undoubtedly an unearthly quality about this plant, whose stem grows from the darkest watery depths towards the sun, culminating in a beautifully delicate blossom that floats serenely on the water surface. The lotuses seen in Chinese parks are first germinated in specialized water tanks before being transplanted into ponds. There are specific geomantic rules for the planting of aquatic flowers; lotuses are planted farther from a bank or bridge than the water-lily which, with its small leaves and delicate flowers, is regarded as more aesthetically pleasing from a short distance than its more exotic cousin.

Relax and follow your heart instead of hurrying things. If you try and follow fame and fortune more than likely you will be as Client Eastwood so calmly said in one of his movies "You are a legend in your own mind." Don't pursue fame and fortune, let it find you. Keep on practicing, reading and listening to those in pen collectors; learn from their mistakes and their victories in find pens, good and bad. Did David Copperfield "just appear" on the scene? No, he was practicing over and over again. Practice does not make perfect, as one individual told me some time ago, "perfect practice, makes perfect."

Hope you enjoy our newsletter for this month and take good care!
