Life as a donkey

Life as an employee is exactly like a donkey. A little donkey got kicked up by the farmer early in the morning. Before the little donkey get to enjoy a cup of coffee, the farmer tied a carrot right infront of the donkey's face. Little donkey thought he's going to get a sweet carrot, so he started to chase the carrot. Poor little donkey doesn't know he actually pulling a heavy plow at the farm. After a whole day chasing carrots, finally farmer untie the carrot from donkey's head. The half dried carrot after a whole day exposed underneath the sun, doesn't really satisfied little donkey. Donkey was upset and swear he will not fall for that again! The next day, little donkey wake up, saw the carrot right in front of his eye, little donkey forgot the tiredness he suffered the day before and start chasing again.

Isn't that similar to what you and I doing everyday? Wake up and go to work early in the morning before we get to enjoy our nicely brewed coffee? Or may be you want to tell me you had your Caramel Macchiato in your car while you're on the way to office. If you think that is "ENJOY", good for you. Your boss promise you an acceptable salary, you've been working hard enough for the week. TGI Friday, you get your paycheck for the week. You looked at it, after deduction of tax, employee retirement fund, house hold expanses etcetera, it does taste like the half dried carrot. You swear to your colleague, you swear to GOD you will not work hard like a donkey anymore. You need to get out of this crap and start your own farm(sorry, I mean business). And, as usual. Monday morning you wake up late, get in the car and your Caramel Macchiato spill all over the place. As usual, you caught in a bad traffic jam. Once you reach office you got scold by your boss because you're late and some follow up that is not settle over the weekend. As usual you had a bad start of the week and ended up with a half dried carrot on Friday. What a life!

So, I've been working hard enough for a living. I need to stop working like a donkey, therefore I started doing online trading. I trade stocks, I trade foreign currencies(FOREX - Foreign Exchange), I also trade guitars. Sometimes I do sell my FOREX ROBOTS(a software that will trade online automatically).

Here is the problem. I'm not a discipline trader in any financial market. I make a thousand dollars a day by trading stocks, the next day I gave back almost every penny I earned to FOREX.

I have some guitars stuck at my house. Playing guitar is a hobby, unless you're a professional musician. Some client bought my product for the 1st time, they feel happy with it. The 2nd time, they demand for a discount. After that discounted deal, I never heard from them anymore because they went straight to my supplier. People who deal with musical instrument knows it is not a NEED for them. They can take their sweet time to search for a better deal.

I do sold my FOREX robots(not online) previously. So far my clients are happy with what they get. I still got a few in good working condition. I uploaded it on EBAY for sale, and people are demanding for a demo,trial pack. So I emailed a compiled version with expiry date. Guess what, the next day I saw some similar robot for sale at 1/2 of my listing price. They function the same, and even copy my trading statement as their own advertisement. The people who got the trial pack break the code and resell it.

Now, I had to hold all those back. I need to find a way to make money with minimum risk. I don't care how much they yield, as long as not negative, as long as I do not need to pay in advance. May be begin with $10 ~ $50 a month at the beginning stage. I believe I will be able to achieve more as I get to recruit more members from this blog. That is all for now. I had to go back to work... like a donkey!
