Tough environment is good
I grew up in Middle East
It's Insanely tough culture and environment
When I came to Australia as an immigrant it was like a heaven for me.
I couldn't believe that I was getting paid $20 per hour just for cleaning the toilets
That salary in Australia was double what I used to get paid in my original country for a nice office job.
But that was the tip of iceberg
I was so naive and idiot because actually people in Australia get paid 5x than this money but as I came from a poor country and poor family, I saw this $20 as too much.
Eventually I realized that I was sitting at the bottom of the barrel
And that was like a wake up call for me to start thinking what should I do to climb the ladder from the bottom
You see, tough environment can create a monster or it can beat you.

Please don't copy
Don't copy someone else
Copying is stupid dump shit
Believe me it's not worth it long-term
You might make money now but the market will punish you for it because you took the easiest path that 99% took
Instead do something new and stupid, now that's sucks because it's unproven and only few people did it or tried to do it and failed
It's going to be horrible at first and you will barely make money because you will waste your time trying to figure out how to sell it and unfuck yourself from this crazy new shit you invented.
But what if you win?

騎虎難下
I regret starting my software
It's something that i never thought about
It's a complete accident that I never thought about it after I've been kicked out from the first e-commerce business
I always wondered what if I sold courses teaching people how to do proper e-commerce using my experience during the past 7 years,
as a matter of fact, I gained crazy insights by being in China and dealing with the logistics industry and Taobao sellers
I might make millions of dollars by just selling a course for $997 for 1000 person
That's one million dollars in cash instead of charging stupid $29 a month and writing code at 1 am
Perhaps maybe I'm an introverted guy and don't like attention
I rarely talk
Heck I regret having a YouTube channel and exposing myself
I'm stuck now and there is no way back
But I will continue because I have no choice
As the Chinese saying goes:
騎虎難下
if you ride a tiger, it's hard to get off
