Today I made a very little business. Less than half I had made yesterday. Though today was Sunday, I opened my shop, because I had nothing to do and I was feeling bore.
A friend of mine, who is a successful businessman, said to me it happens in business. Sometimes you make very little. She told me to be prepared for it.
I am prepared to face it. Maybe, it was Sunday which was one reason why not many customers came to my shop.

Thank you. Yes, I knew. But I was feeling bore. I opened the shop. A few people came, and then I had nothing to do. Business has its ups and downs.

Thank you. Restaurants are really an exception. Their owners make a good business seven days a week. So do the street food vendors. I was feeling bore. That's why I opened the shop, but only S few customers came.

Thank you. I know he was right. I had not hoped to make a good business. But to remove my boredom I had opened the shop.

@Shivram59 AS long as you're not losing money then it's ok.

@toniganzon No, I'm gaining money. In business you make much gain as compared to job.

Even if you only had half of what you had had the day before it is still better than nothing
Maybe if you open on every Sunday more people will visit and buy more stuff

Thank you. I knew I was not going to have a large number of customers, but only to kill my boredom I decided to open the shop. When I saw very few customers are coming, I again shut it. However the tea vendor at a corner of my shop earned much.
Sunday is a day for rest. I won't let the opportunity go.

@Ineeddentures Thanks. People who passed from in front of my house have a cup of tea at the vendor's shop.

In my opinion now that I am retired
Every day is possibly a day of rest my friend
Well done to the tea vendor
