Sometimes, I asked myself, why am I doing things that I dislike (or hate)? It could be anything, it could be your studies, your work or perhaps your life? Do we follow the path that everyone is destined to do so, or due to other people's expectation or your parent's wishes? Such as working in a prestige company (working more than 12 hours), getting married, having kids and etc. Okay, maybe getting married and having kids is totally way out of the topic...but seriously, was I happy following this path?
When some asked what do I do for a living and when I told them what I do, they will look at me and think "What?!?! You wasted so many years to study and end up working at home and selling things online???" when you can actually do all these after high school, without going to college and etc.
Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful that I was given the opportunity to attend College/University while going this path. I'm forever grateful to have a wonderful parent who supported me with the decision I make, despite having all my college/ university qualification being put away. Somehow, gaining a certificate or a qualification is not a total loss, after all, I may need it in the future in the event that I need to return back to the working sector.
Interestingly, I have people asking me, how did I start selling things online? I guess it all started when I was studying in college. I find myself having loads of junks laying around and I find it's kinder wasteful to throw it away, and defiantly not recommended to give to people which it's used. So on my spare time, I took some of the things that I do not need and posted online to sell (via Ebay). That was way back in 2003 when I was in Australia when I first began my online selling...which started out innocently as an interest.
