What Is Your Choice?

No one will ever know how long it will take for a person to switch from the mindset of an employee to the mindset of a business owner. For some, it will be a short one, because they have either been previously in a conventional business with a certain degree of success, or because they already are in a conventional business, and thus will be better equipped with the mindset of a business owner to run another business.

Those who take longer (me in particular) will find that they might feel frustrated at times, but still I believe there is nothing in it that says we should give up at a time when such a transformation is going on. Instead, we should persist on in tough times because "tough times do not last, tough people do". In such times, learning should still go on. Those who give up, are because in tough times they do not see the finishing point or fail to recall their own dreams and goals in life. In business, "momentum" is the keyword, and not to forget "patience" & "peseverance".

So, with a lot of distractions & challenges ahead as you and me build our own businesses for our own individual dreams & goals, what will you choose? If you are thinking of giving up, think of what made you build your own business! Do not give up, let us all work hard together to fulfill our dreams & goals in life!

Last but not least, what triggered me to write this post (right now @ 2.45am Singapore time), actually came from a game (Dynasty Warriors 5: Xtreme Legends) in which a character (Guan Ping) quoted after I completed a game using him: "It is so easy to give in to despair when the future seems closed. All you have to do is believe that you are powerless and lay down your weapon."

To me, my business and my dream, I will have to rephrase it as "It is so easy to give in to despair when the future seems closed. All you have to do is believe that you are powerless and give up on your dreams & goals in life, as well as the opportunity to fulfill them." To me, if I give up such a good chance to fulfill my dreams & goals in life, I will look back in agony, regret, and all the unhappy things that come from the inability to grab hold of a golden opportunity. What about you? I do not know about your dreams, but definitely if you give up a golden opportunity I do believe that you will feel something for it.

So, what is your choice? Patience & Peseverance, or Despair & Dispose? It is your choice, my friend (:
