Do you make money or do you spend money

Are you still making money? Or are you rather spending money like there is no tomorrow? Which is which? It is so much easier to spend money than earning it as we all have a tendency to buy that extra something that we love. When we make a purchase, there is a feel good feeling that we can finally afford it and be one of the Joneses. Well, stop it. If you cannot afford it, then don't buy to impress the people that we don't like. Don't kid yourself. In the end, you have to pay for all this unnecessary stuffs that clutter up your home.

Sold 5 T-Shirts on eBay

I am quite happy doing this drop shipping where I get orders and inform my drop shipper to send and deliver the t-shirts on my behalf. This is known as drop shipping where all the packing of ordered items to handling and shipping are handled by my drop shipper in another country. I can only sell to the US market. With the given template, all that is needed is just copy and paste the information in my eBay seller's web site and bingo, it is all set up for online purchase life via my Paypal. For each sale of the genuine La Coste t-shirt, either in black or white, I will get USD 6 for my efforts to email my drop shipper. This translates to RM 18 in my local currency. On average, I sell 1 t-shirt per day and in the last 5 days, made 5 sales.

Translated an Article

This morning, I researched, wrote and translated a medical article into Malay for a medical specialist requiring virtual assistance for her fertility treatment service. I promptly emailed her a quotation for a blog setup and monthly maintenance with charges for images and translation into Bahasa. Apparently she wants to target Malay customers who make up the majority of the citizens here in Malaysia. Knowing, this might be long term work, my charges are reasonable and affordable. Just cross my fingers for the best outcome. I think she is still new to acquiring virtual assistance service and not very familiar with internet banking for payment.

Be Significant

Mother Theresa and people like her are all significant. They made a difference to the lives of those around them. It is great to earn a lot of money, but it is more significant to made a difference to the people around you and make their lives better with your presence here on this earth. Steve Jobs make a difference to our lives by creating the iPhone, iPod, etc. and made our lives better with technology and smart phones. Bill Gates created Windows operating system and Microsoft Office applications that make businesses run seamlessly. We need to be grateful for such contributions from these people who made a significant difference to our lives. Let's hope Hillary Clinton become successful in becoming Madam President of the United States in the next presidential election and make a significant difference to the lives of women.
