My old schoolmate, Livian, returned to her parents' home this Chinese New Year and we had the opportunity to catch up on old times. I understand that she was into t-shirt design and printing as soon as we left high school. In fact, her designs were so creative that she was even feature din a youth magazine. She as a very entrepreneurial mind and I felt that she would become "big" one day.
That was a long time ago, though. Livian told me that she was busy working that she didn't have time to run her side business, unfortunately. Now, with the economic downturn, Livian opted for the Voluntary Separation Scheme (VSS) that her company offered and decided that it is better to use the benefits on her t-shirt design and printing business. Yes, she is planning to revive the business!
That's good news, of course. Like I said, she is very creative, which is surprising since she was not trained at all. Anyway, she is planning to go big this time since she is going to work full time on the business. She said that she will be looking for a Naming Company to come up with catchy names that would fit her niche. She said since she is full time in this, she has no room for mistakes and must start off the business on the right footing.
I think that it is awesome that people could still realize their dreams even though they may have encountered a downturn in life, like losing a job. When a door closes, a window opens.
