Let's get it started

Waiting to start, and the confidence that was missing.

Until then I had been waiting for a reason to start this blog, and I could not find one. I was stuck on how to begin, and when. I had started with the hope of making a name, and that hope tied a knot in my mind. My grammar was poor. I ask you to forgive it. With that kind of intention I kept waiting for the right opening.

At first I was adding up the gains and losses of whatever I did. Then, like lightning, Ravi and Vijaykanth got me to listen to Purushotham's eBiz presentation. I already knew of it. What moved me was the confidence I had in Vijaykanth. I joined. I had a downline of 23. I did not receive any money. I learned more than the money would have been worth.

I learned how people think and how they behave, and, in return, how to handle the things that go against you.

I could finally name my problem. It was a lack of confidence. I had not been able to point at it, because of ego. As age and mind grow, maturity comes in, and the ego steps down, slowly and on purpose. I can accept my faults now. Earlier I could not.

Life taught me the things, and in the ordinary course of it I could see myself.
