Selling like brownies.

I was 14 years old when I brought about 10 slices of brownies at school and gave them to my friends. The next day, I was already bringing 40 slices of assorted fudge and butterscotch brownies for selling! And selling them wasn't hard at all because I got orders the day before while the extra pieces were sold very quickly! and it went on for the whole year! Good business! I wish it's that easy nowadays, but no. Everyday is a struggle to survive and achieve our goals. This is life. This is our lot. What about you, friends? Did you have your share of easy stuff when you were younger?

Oh my I miss brownies. I miss home. I miss brownies. I miss home. I have to make brownies this week. Indeed it was a good business. When I was young too, I used to sell food and other things. Just like you, life was good but as you've said now it's a struggle. We've got to work so hard to get what we want. Maybe we rae trying to hard. Maybe we are dreaming to high. Maybe we don't see the opportunities in front of us because we are looking so far for the opportunities that others have achieve. We usually see future from others and try to copy them. What we don't see and realize is that we have our own life, fate and destiny. We cannot want what others have. We have to want what we can have. Just be humble and simple. If it's meant for us, it will come.

Wow! That was great, wasn't it? You really had a knack for selling then, but I guess it was easier to sell when we were still in school (though most students are shy about it) because students just buy things, mostly food. As for me, I am not really the "selling type". But based on your story and query, I think it was easier back then to just do nothing when there are no assignments. It was easier then because all you had to budget was your allowance and time. You don't really need to look for money. Life was simple when we were students (but we thought otherwise). I often wonder, I think with my maturity now, if I were to go to school, I'd truly appreciate it. No need to worry about money. Neither should you really care about what's happening. I guess those who have parents who really provide are the luckiest. These days, now that I'm older. Everything I do has a consequence. If I decide to be lazy for the day, I would really regret it when I can't make my ends meet. Whew! It's tougher to look for money now. Whew! Have a great mylot experience ahead!
