    pag nagnegosyo kayo bantayan nyo lang wag nyong iaasa kahit kanino, kasi kukupitan lang kayo at at the end of the day lugi ka pa. kahit anong negosyo maganda, subukan mo munang magtinda sa daan, maliit na lamesa para wala kang masyadong puhunan at kung di mo kaya ang init ng araw, alikabok,etc. ay madali kang umatras na walang masyadong puhunan.
