Business is A Game
As you all know, mom has a small business of her own in which she started last year. So far, everything is doing well with her Small Tamales Business. Tamales is a Mexican dish made from grained rice and peanut and a little bit spicy in taste. This is actually my mom's specialty that she inherited from my grandma's own recipe. The business turned out pretty well until now and she keep on receiving orders here and abroad. She was actually planning to take this more seriously though she's not really sure whether she will lend a big amount of money for her capital or she will just stay as simple as it is now. Just like we know, business is like a game and the luck is not always on your hand.
It is more of taking risk and it is up to you on how brave you are to face it. If it works out, then good for you. All you have to do is to maintain it and apply good marketing strategy to keep your business on tract. But if you failed, then there is a tendency to face the business most critical point which is the Bankruptcy. I'm sure this is the biggest fear of all business owners and they will do all their best just to prevent it from happening. Yes, you can have another chance but if you failed again , then you have to accept the fact that the business that you established is not as attractive as the others. What makes it more devastating is the fact that you are going to pay all your debts, obligations and responsibilities. This is the reason why you have to file Bankruptcy report to save you from paying these debts.
Well this is exactly what my mom is fearing about but then again, business is a game and you have to be prepared whether it will turn out as a success or failure.

TRY IT ON MY OWN ~ WHITNEY HOUSTON
"Try It on My Own" (also known as "On My Own") is a 2003 single released by American R&B/pop singer Whitney Houston. The song is about overcoming doubts or fears so a person can reach the point in their life where they can "try it on their own". It was the third single released off Houston's platinum album Just Whitney and, like "Whatchulookinat" and "One of Those Days" before it, was a modest hit on the Hot 100. It became a hit on the U.S. adult contemporary singles chart reaching number ten, and the remixed version became a number-one U.S. dance hit. Houston performed "Try It on My Own" on an episode of the television series Boston Public ("Chapter Sixty-Six"), which first aired in May 2003. On May 20, 2003 Arista released a DVD single featuring the videos for "Try It on My Own" and "One of Those Days", both which were certified gold by the RIAA. "Try it On My Own" was remixed by Thunderpuss, Mike Rizzo, Maurice Joshua, Pound Boys and Mauve. The single sold 800.000 copies worldwide.ONE OF THOSE DAYS ~ WHITNEY HOUSTON
"One of Those Days" is a 2002 song by American R&B singer Whitney Houston, and was the second single from her album Just Whitney.. It reached number seventy-two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and became a modest R&B hit, peaking at number twenty-nine on Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart. In the review of Houston's album Just Whitney, Keysha Davis of BBC said, "One Of Those Days also has a slight retro feel to it, cleverly sampling the Isley Brothers' Between the Sheets. Modern day women will be able to relate to this one, as Whitney croons about the need to withdraw from the pressures of day-to-day living for a spot of girlie pampering". Knight Ridder/Tribune News Service in their review said, "One of Those Days kicks off the CD with the rumor-plagued diva admitting she needs to take better care of herself". The official music video was directed by Kevin Bray who also directed Houston's other videos including Heartbreak Hotel, My Love Is Your Love and Fine. The video showed Houston enjoying a day out and hanging out with her friends at the club, and having a massage at sauna.
