Business orientation and my kid
I just love my kid, and I think it comes through in this blog.
Lately, he has this thing of becoming a "Businessman" when he is big. He also asks me if I am a businessman. Last week, he had this idea of selling Playstations to China - don't ask me where he got this from.
Yesterday, he seriously discussed price issues with my wife. It is his idea to sell lollipops in school.
Apparently, there are more kids in his school starting ventures. One kid sold paperguns recently, until the principal stepped in.
I think it is great. It is my task to nurture the mindset. To prevent that "traditional" school education and the constant exam orientation is destroying his adventurous ideas. I need to take care that I am providing him with the background to start something, anything (well not everything is up for grabs, so). In the end, at least, he might be able to pay me some pocketmoney.

When I was in boarding school, I sold hand-drawn greeting cards (esp. during Valentine's Day) and scrunchies (hair bands). Didn't make much but made lots of people happy :)

I sold comics that I drew in exercise books way back during primary school. I didn't make much profit but it sure was a lot of fun.
