subject: Regrettable moments……lessons learned [print this page] The last 2 years (beginning of autumn 2008) were devastating for me and my family. Lost 93,3 Million Euros (my dad), a 32 years old build from scratch business, a face and so-called friends'. These friends were leased anyway, so no regrets here. The lease had expired and traded them in for better and real ones. But several issues still haunt me till this very day of my life. I'll list them right here (in a random order).
I regret that; people deceive, I didn't do enough when the sh*t hit the fan, my mother was born in a dismantled' family and got the blame for it, I didn't want to perform well at school(s) because other things were more interesting, I didn't kiss a girl named Chelsea on a cruise-liner, we had to sell our breathtaking penthouse in Paris (near Musee D'Orsay), it's sad to see how friends' go for the money and status instead of refinement, I stayed too long at a business university college school that eventually took me 4 years to realize it was a very bad one (no positive outlook by looking at it's theoretical and promised' side), when I was in Canada and went back for 4 weeks to save' my education, family members (other than my own family) weren't there to support us during business take away', I had to be silent for 1,5 years due to circumstances, I drank too much during my studies (loads of fun but now I'm stuck with liver issues), none of my businesses really took off (except for a restaurantguide and obviously this blog), I never worked at a low income job to gain awareness of various employers and employees (maybe then I studied harder), I didn't comply with the school's curriculum, I wasn't fully present (my thoughts wandered) during our Summer 2009 holiday on Skopelos, I punched someone in the face related to the troubles during the recession, I had to witness the destruction of my dad caused by highly placed corporate suckers wankers, I had to watch my dad loose himself during the recession and I just sat there, I did way too much for others instead of helping myself first, I never mentioned to Vera how much I loved here during our relationship, I have to make the decision to leave The Netherlands for Canada.
All of the above are meant for better sake. They're now used for good. Business-wise it's getting better and better. Feasible business opportunities are now more concrete and concise than the years before. At this moment I've got 32 feasible business ideas, it's up to the field and desk research what to do with them. You haven't seen the last of me. Now it's my time.
