I watched a movie where it was said that we can never change what has happened no matter how much we cry, and we can never turn the hands of time no matter how hard we try. That was something I had to ponder about and then live my life based on the fact that what's mine will surely be mine and what's not mine will never come my way.
Our days are numbered
All we do is to count and look forward to the days ahead of us, most times we forget to look back at the days we had in the past and then count down to the ones we have left.
Life is a bed of roses and thorns. We can’t expect everything to come so easily. There will be moments when we get to cry, times of joy, times of celebration, and times of happiness. At times we always wish to have all of these scenes on repeat, and some we never wish to have happened. That's life for us.
Just a month and a few weeks into the new year, a lot has happened, good and bad, but most times we tend to forget about the bad side as much as we get a little bit of ease.
If I could remember one of the hard times I had this year and I never wish to experience such again was the loss I encountered with my business. As a business individual, there are some things that you just can’t escape and one of these is encountering profit and loss. You can’t expect to keep making a profit all the time without loss.
But where it comes so heavy on business owners is when they have their loss overweight than their profit. At this juncture it becomes unbearable. All business individuals would want to make more profit over loss.
My encounter.
Image is mine
Some time last year I stocked some amount of fish and then they grew so fine and when it was time to harvest, I made good sales and profit from it. It was time I stocked another set, they were doing fine when I stocked them around December end. Then it was the early week of January, I decided to move from where I stocked them to somewhere else.
This movement became a nightmare to me. All of the fish I moved started bloating and they didn’t feed that much like they were in the former pond. I thought they got diseased, so I tried all medications on them but to no avail.
The fish I stocked this time were triple the amount of the production I had the last time. The funniest part was that the fish stopped growing and time went by, so it was time I started selling them but the fish never grew. I was so tired of their growth then and was forced to discard all of them.
They should have their weight in kg but when I weighed them they weighed in grams. I knew I already encountered a big loss. And there is no buyer to buy those small sizes.
I was pained from the loss but I had to move on. I learned the hard way. And this time around I decided to improve and work on my mistakes and not blame anyone for that. The present ones I stocked are doing fine. I love their growth.
