Exhausting
Juggling life with the work that you had to do and the work that you wanted to become successful is very hard. I’ve been trying and thinking so hard to come out with ideas to make my own small business to become successful. But, so far, for this whole year, I only made very little. Not sure is because my products are pricey, or people just not into what I’m making. I felt like sometimes my prediction on how people might spend is the total opposite of what people had been giving me the feedback. I know positive feedback is good because it is showing you the good side of what you did, and also a good motivation. However, sometime the critical or the negative feed back is crucial in making decision.
Other than that, just these few days, the work that I had to do, kind of making me think a lot. For example, I felt like teenagers are very hard to please. I really want them to improve in a certain way that they might have some deeper thoughts instead of superficial ones. I have this question which I thought was a brilliant one for debate. “Is it more important to be kind or to be fair?” Am I overthinking that the age of 10-13 can make a debate out of this question? All I get the answer from both side is, if you are kind/fair, people will like you more. I really thought that they can come out a better answer than that. However, this make me think that, age between 10-13 years old, their most important criterial is to be liked. I guessed, during my age, it is pretty much the same for me, but to answer the debate of the question, I was really disappointed. If you want my answer, just a short one would be, if my team is on the fair side, I will argue that kindness can lead to bias opinion. If my team is for the kind argument, I would say that kindness show our humanity side, our emphatic side, cause sometime fair is not as fair as what we might thought it is in the eye of law.
Anyway, I just want to rant a little here. Perhaps I’m exhausted. My son recently was sick and I’ve been taking care of him since the weekend. I know my husband helped a little, like cooking and cleaning, but sometimes the attention that my son craved, and the works that I need to do, is kind of hard to cope. Luckily, this Thursday, I have a break, since it is a school holidays and public holiday on Friday. Happy Halloween and happy holidays everyone. *We made our first jack-o'-lantern this year.
