Seriously, sometime I think back, what is stopping me?



I used to have entrepreneur mind, as young as I was in standard six. Yes, you hear me right. I did my 1st business in standard six.



I remember clearly that day was some first day cover release date and I ordered one myself from my friend.There were two of them who were our supplier, they went to post office and bought around 5 or 6 of same first day cover and sell in the classroom.



That time, I got an idea. I went to my friends and I told them I’ll buy all of his first day cover. And of course I couldn’t pay them right away, so I told them I’ll pay at the end of the day. By doing this, suddenly I became the only supplier in the classroom. Which means I monopolized the market that time.



Soon, when people come to my friends, they said all the first day cover had been bought by me. So people start to look for me. And a sole supplier of first day cover, I sold them RM1.5 more than the normal price. They have no choice but to buy. Boy, I can say that time, many were not happy but they couldn’t do anything as they couldn’t find other supplier.



So at the end of the day, I managed to sell off all the first day cover and was walking to canteen during recess that day will a happy as I had extra money to buy extra fried chicken to eat with my normal fried meehun.



Honestly, I never considered a lot of factors and the risk. I remember all I knew was eliminate the possible supplier and monopolized the market.



Sometime, when I think back, I still can’t believe that I managed to do that at the age of 12.



So after reading this story, where would you think I am now? Must be owning some business right?



Let me tell you, I am now working as an engineer in MNC, and trap in the rat race like most of the people out there.



FML, again, what is stopping me?
