Clicking on anything you post. It shows poor judgement on my part thinking there would ever be something substantial in anything you write.

Viki87:

You are right, I have poor judgement sometimes. And I have problem: I can not refuse some request for feeling embarrassed to refuse, it reflects both on my business investment and dating life. 

I really need to improve it.

I am pretty smart when comes to business negotation with clients, but sometimes make poor judgement on investment and in many other circumstance.I think that part of me is pretty stupid.

I just got 4000rmb scammed these days, someone called me and pretent to be a guy working in my client's company and said he needed my help with money to gift to his client as bribery gift during the meeting as his client wouldn't sign without receiving bribery money during the meeting(logially, that is easy to see it is a trick, but I didn't realize it at that moment )and I assumed he is the Hong kong guy, the one I met and we had done project for his company.

After his several request, I felt embarraseed to refuse to help him and so I sent him 4000rmb.

 

Damn stupid, how come I even sent money before I see if they are the same guy? Even if the same guy, why should I loan my money to a buyer from client's company?

 

I truly have some stupid issue sometimes.

Yes I myself have big stupid issue sometimes, if I do not learn to be smart and improve my judgement, I would not able to become rich even if I can make profits from my business.

 

A successful entrepreneur should have the ability of judging circumstance better.

 

You guys are right about me this time.

The good decision I made is stay on this shitty job till I stablize my business.

My goodness, I feel truly happy that at least I made this right decision. I faced the reality that I am not fiancially rich enough to go self-employed now and I need a stable job which I already good at doing it.

It is a good decision. I am not looking for shifting to another job. I just want monry to support my business and save as much money as I can as my safe fund. It is better to stay on a job I already mastered and good at doing than changing to a job that have to start learning all over again. Better spend those energy on developing my uwn business. And this shitty job pays well and my boss doesn't manage me much, it leaves me a lot of time for my own business.

foolishly spending 25k isnt one of them

Viki87:

@DirkBourne, I feel bad about that. Truly foolish. 

I was being lucky to earn some money on this start business, I could have used my money better. If I took care of my money, I could have created a nice site by myself, brought more new product samples for developing customers, gift myself some nice clothes, gitf some to my Mom and Dad. My life will be so much better now.

 

I already paid 10000rmb deposit and signed the contract, I could hardly get my deposit back if I call this site project off now. Probally the wenbsite is overcharged, but it is me agreed to do it, I feel bad to call it stop while the designer has started. I guess I have to keep going and let him finish the site and logo right?

 

All I can do is work hard on my business and try to make more deals and be careful with the future spendings.

I once thought that I could handle a Mexican burrito after a week of stomach issues. I was horribly wrong.

Coming back here the second time. Leaving the Navy too young. Screwing up a couple of extremely good career opportunities. Not getting my driving license at 17. The list goes on and on. However, I have made a few good decisions. The latest being going to get my Masters later this year.

Whew,,,, where to start......

 

throwing that gasoline in a bbq pit,  nailing the accelerator pedal to the floor when I didn't really know how to drive, not wearing a seatbelt back in the day, trying to pet a dog I didn't know, walking out to the edge of that water-tower (lived through it by some miracle), smoking pot, doing drugs, smuggling pot in from Mexico, flipping that guy off in Tacoma that nite (nearly got my brains blown out), and a hundred others.....

BHGAL:

trying to buy a bag of pot, New Orleans    back alley  and the gun came out    wallet please  .....   no and ran     white like a ghost for days

Jean.P:

Don't take this personally, or as a knock against New Orleans, but "a confederacy of dunces" is the group of people that enjoyed reading that book. The book's delusional pseudo-hero is a disgusting bloated slob unlikeable and loathsome in every circumstance. . . . Be that as it may, I'll just have to chalk this one up to different strokes for different folks.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
