i have a situation for you. i need you to ponder on this one and give me an answer, hopefully...for instance, you have a good job that pays you well. the one that anybody would kill to have. you could see that there really is a good future for you here. a sure life and a guaranteed handsome retirement...yet, you have another craving. there's that thing lurking in your mind. you have another passion. let's say, you have wanted for so long to open your own restaurant. that is your long time dream. because you have a well-paying job, you have saved more than enough to open your dream business. would you do it? doing it would mean leaving your job and all the security it's offering you. we know that nothing is permanent in business. you could lose everything in a blink of an eye. what would you do?

Hi, I think I have great idea to share with that situation. Previously I am employed and my job is really paying me well and because of that I was able to save money out of it and was able to reach the amount I need to put up my small business. My business actually is my dream business and that is mini grocery, I need to be hands on with it so I resigned from my good paying job. But it's not that easy, I have considered every situation that might happen, like lossing everything from business, what would I do if that will happen. Here's the challenge: since mini grocery is my long time dream I convince myself that I have enough courage to face whenever it fails and I have more time to devote to it when it is establish. Courage and determination is all I have when I quit my job and started my own business and from it was put up I always pray to GOD to guide me and if ever the business is not for me to have I ask GOD to give me strenght to accept things I cannot change and also I ask him to give me enough courage to stand up and start all over again. So, aside from my perseverance, hardwork, patience, courage and strenght the most important thing I have done was I am able to entrusted everything to GOD. It's true, I am sharing this with you for encouragement and faith. Do not be afraid to try what you Love to do, ask guidnace from HIM and he will never fail you.
You know what, my business is now running smoothly for 6 months period only from the date it was establish.
Good luck

Hi this is a good question .But after thinking for a while ,I have got an answer.
If i was in your situation then the best thing which i would have done is to do the job in which I earn a good living.Because in morden day the cost of living is becoming higher and higher day by day and also we need to think of our kids so to live a happy and prosperous life it is required to earn good and for that I think I would have done the job which is more beneficial for me.
But After earning well after some years I would also have opened a good restaurant with my own money.In this way my long cherished dream would also have come true.
So this is what i think if I take myself in your situation .This is my idea but it may differ from person to person.
Best of luck with whatever you choose.
