What Do I Like to Do…

Soul-searching, or finding the purpose of life – undoubtedly the most important but ignored aspect of a human being.

Does a banker serve her workspace being satisfied with her work? Or is that all about money? How can signing a checkbook and posting data be one’s dream job – I don’t know, don’t want to judge either.

I don’t want to live a life that is all about the paycheck.

I asked myself several times what’s my favorite thing to do?

What job I have been meant to do for the rest of my life?

Well, first of all; I am already 27+ and still unemployed. I don’t have any steady revenue source. So asking myself the same question for years after years isn’t really helping me anyways. Rather, I should have asked myself – what is the least annoying job that I could have done to survive?

That’s probably academia, but I left that opportunity as well.

From my childhood, I always love to take initiative. Whatever from planning a tour itinerary to making a business plan – my core competency has been ‘starting something new.’

If I convert that affinity into the professional world, starting something new translates into being an entrepreneur.

I have believed so far this is my calling, my soul-searching result of choosing a profession. I like to invent new ideas, new activities, new plans, and schemes. But the hardest part of inventing a new idea is ‘clinging to it for a long time.‘

It’s not about taking a travel initiative – where your stakes are converting money into pleasure. Rather, I am reversing the entropy – I want to convert pleasure into money.

And according to the second law of thermodynamics, that will require work – a hell lot of work.

I would say I shall stick to my soul calling, cause I love to do it.

But how long? I don’t know, maybe a lifetime…

A Trader with an Investment Mindset

Invest in good stock... Being a finance student, I have always been told that investors make much more profit compared to traders in the long run.  In a sense, that statement is apparently true. If you take the historical gain reference of traders vs. investors, the latter will come triumphant without any confusion. But remember, few traders make much more profit compared to investors.  For the traders, the profit curve is seemingly positively skewed, only a few can truly make a profit, but most of them lose money and cancel out the average profit. For the investors, the profit curve follows a normal distribution and returns an average profit to the clients in the long haul. And most importantly, it is always the small ticket-sized shares that give you the best return. For instance, a stock priced at BDT 10 has the potential to go up to 20 or 30 TK, giving you a return from 100% to 200%. But imagine a good stock that is already priced at BDT 600, how much can it go up? I always calcula

I Know How Fake Everything Is

We had an AC installation project today at Manikgonj. Our technician team went to the site, saw a 30'' thick wall that has to be pierced for copper piping. And they backed off. I was communicating over the phone with my PSL, with a heavy voice, pretending everything is under control.  Those are miniature life hick-ups that an entrepreneur has to face, regularly, and for me - intentionally. Only a few have the guts to continue after all these. I want to be one of them of course. January 2022 Update: Another year has gone by without any fruitful progress. Still, we don't see any tangible source of revenue. We are kinda parasite of Muspana. This burns me like hell, I wanted to live an independent life. That's why I chose to be an entrepreneur Now is the real challenge. What value am I providing to my users? What is the one big vision that can change the lives of billions? Can I acquire a big investment ever? Why am I so self-centered? Am I all after money? Today a kid 10 y

Network = Net Worth

Need to boost up my networking skill So far I have been a socially awkward person. I don't like public gatherings, I avoid phone calls, even I don't have any active social media account. For me, deciding to do business was an internal soul call, which I hardly could relate to my shortcomings. Almost three years back when I was an employee of LankaBangla Finance, my SME head told me, ''Why don't you laugh man? There is a Chinese Proverb you know - if you can't laugh, don't open a shop.'' I thought a smiling face is a mere redundant verbal expression. Unnecessary, showy, sycophantic.  At this moment, after almost a year in the business world, I am to words changing my mind. In fact, a smiling face can win million hearts, and those million hearts are money in business. Am I sounding too commercial? Probably am, but smiling is also prophylactic. If you love yourself, you should smile. Another reason behind smiling is - human nature is precoded to accept
