Down with Flu

I have finished my medication and a course of anti-biotics but my cough still remains unchanged. And it is not getting any better but added with a running nose. Looks like my system is resistent to the medication and each time when I cough, it takes weeks to cure. So I have finished my medication, now what. I have also been sneezing too often repeatedly. I have stopped taking Vitamin C as I have read that when you are down with a flu, never take Vitamin C which could aggravate the flu.

I have Worked in a Law Firm Before

I have worked in a law firm for a short stint for my aunt who is an advocate and a solicitor in Shenton Way, Singapore many years back. Well, the law firm is no longer operating now as my aunt is in her seventies now, time to retire gracefully. She handles all cases to deal with property transactions or also known as conveyancing which is more lucrative compared to litigation or fighting it out in court. There are different types of lawsuits that can be brought about by clients like Trasylol Lawsuit or Accutane Lawsuit in the States. It was an eye-opener for me to work for her albeit for a short while. At least I was exposed to the workings of a legal firm with hundreds of clients' files with a good filing system to keep track of so many records.

Doing Business is the Best Way to Make Money

When you work for others, the income is ok. When you do business, the income is better. Hence, it is good to identify a flourishing business and stick to it. It may be blogging business, online business, writing business, web design business, etc. When you do online business, the reach is global and borderless. The set up cost is minimal too - just a laptop with internet connectivity is sufficient to get started. With millions being jobless in USA now, it makes good financial sense to start an online business offering virtual assistance, doing paid surveys, etc.

Counting my Blessings

I guess I am blessed to have a dream job to work from home and being able to moonlight writing articles - all in the comforts of home office. Last night, I took an opportunity and earned myself USD10 within a short span of time. I also earn by commissions and a basic pay. Hence, I have been working in my pajamas since 6+ years ago - no need to commute to work elsewhere, no need to get caught in snarling traffic jams, and more importantly no office politics. Just me working alone at home.

Made USD10 today

Today is a bonus. Made USD10 today within 10 minutes. This converts to about RM30 at 3.09 conversion rate. As Malaysian ringgit is getting stronger against US greenback, the conversion rate is dropping steadily. Hope it does not breach the psychogical 3.0 benchmark. But offers like this come once in a while and not every day. Otherwise, I can save up more for my retirement years in many years time. I can still work for the next 20 to 30 years and hopefully it does not stop there. Look at Lee Kuan Yew; he is still working even at age 87!

My ability to earn an income

God has blessed me with a sound education to make money from home, while moonlighting writing articles and to blog part time. I also get to earn from Google Adsense and other programs that make money. I guess I am a fast worker, able to think on my feet while typing away coherently to make sense to a keyword given. Every day, there are opportunities such as these that keep me usefully occupied even on a public holiday like Hari Raya today. And I am happy, today, I have made RM110.00 - all within a few hours of work by the computer. Since I am paid in US dollars, the conversion does justice for me to work harder. There is progressive payments to my Paypal where I will accumulate until USD140.00 before I withdraw to avoid paying transaction charges.

Making Money is Hard Work

Who says making money is easy is lying to you. It requires your blood, sweat and tears. Making money is certainly hard work and takes up plenty of your precious time. Instead of watching tv, or slumbering away in an air con room, you are working downstairs typing away and doing work with the computer with broadband connectivity. Therefore, the company hires you to work for them by paying you for your time to do the necessary work for them and not to twitter away or facebooking with the internet. Millions of dollars are lost because employees are using the computer chatting away and wasting time.
