It's a long hard road

You know, starting your own business is a long hard road out of hell. You are constantly worrying about bills, about whether or not your business will succeed or fail, about revenue that is not coming in as fast as you like... all kinds of stuff.

I always heard about the cliche that "95% of new business failed in the first 2 years". To tell the truth, I don't think they really failed. I think what REALLY happened was the business owner gave up on their dreams and start working 9 to 5 for Bob.

Why did they give up? Like I said above, they worried about stuff. Imagine 2 years of slogging through in your business and still having trouble breaking past the "Success" barrier. Can you really do that? I know that 95% of the people who started their business can't.

Which leads me to wonder... how will I turn out? 95... or 5?

Unprepared Speakers Speaking in Public

Whats with the current trend of speakers going on stage and start with "i'm sorry with the quality of my slides, I didn't have time to prepare them" or "I didn't prepare for this so I will just wing it".

God dang it! I spent MY valuable time to go there and listen to you speak, the least you can do to respect me as your audience is prepare something in advance! That revelation you just made may be an inside joke for you or a way for you to release some stress or tension, but to me that is the ultimate sign of disrespect you can ever show to an audience!

So what now? Now, whenever someone starts off by saying that, I WILL heckle them by saying "You suck!"

See how they feel hah hah hah

Cliches and Sayings

How many old cliches have you heard?

Have you heard of these?
Pound foolish but penny wise
For this one I guess it is about being a foolish miser. I know somebody who acts like that in real life too ha ha ha (it's not me ok!). This guy that I know keeps saying that people in Africa has no food and other basic necessities so we shouldn't waste our money. One day he tried to be sarcastic when I want to buy some chewing gum and drinks by saying "buy, buy, buy, buy... Sheesh". What the hell? And this is after he bought a new thousand ringgit plasma tv while the old tv is still working in perfect condition! HUH??!


How about this one?
Book fat but knowledge thin
A guy keeps preaching about Robert Kiyosaki and other self help guru and how these people can help me become a millionaire with their skills. Well then Mr Guy, if they are so smart how come you failed your 2 years business and racked up 20 thousand ringgit in debt? Is that what they teach you to do? Fail spectacularly??!

More to come.
