Did I mention that my mother owns a business?
This year celebrates its 20th year.
I had always been adamant about joining the company. Not that I dislike the nature of business, but the nature being family oriented has always been a put off to me. It has been a norm for family gathering filled with business discussions among my aunties, uncles, cousins and of course, my younger brother. Occasionally, I was approached for business decisions and directions.
To say I am completely not involved in the business - I'm not exactly.
To say I am completely involved - I'm not too.
I had been sitting on safe ground.
Recently, a sense had been growing stronger and stronger within me. My mother set up the business after my father's and sister's deaths, from money compensated for their deaths. The thought of continuing the league keeps popping into my mind. The business had clocked so many milestones - post 97, SARS. Now, its on a crossroad.
The business is like the blood in my mother's body. It flourished, expanded and grew when my mother was working day and night, getting fatter and happy. Now that my mother is sick, the business spiralled south. Its like the ringing in the business cashbox follows my mother's heartbeat.
My entry today is so unstructured. My thoughts are in a mess.
Doing business......is it my cup of tea?
