Lesson Learnt
Hi everyone, I am back…
I didn’t’ said much about the vacation thing before, but I’ll explain more in this post.
This is not a Wow-Trade related post or even a trade related post however, so for those who want to read about that, can skip the rest of the article.
I had to take a vacation on the blog since my software project in work (two years long one) was concluded at the beginning of Dec. I didn’t mention much about my RL business here, but I would share this little project with you.
The project was a disaster, not saying the code base is not good nor the work is hard. However it takes very long time to work and iron out every detail of it. When a half year long project spring into two, that’s wouldn’t be good. Consider the opportunity cost for the project. The loss is significant. While I talk a lot about trading in Wow, I am not that bright in my (first) RL business.
Do I feel regretted? Kind of, I should have a more detail contract and charged more…. However while I pay much cost of being a contract freelancer, I learnt a lot. One can’t learn swimming without getting into the water. At least I am not drowning by this learning. Something you just can’t learn from book and classroom…
Getting into grind is easy, and they paid well in the beginning. But as risk is everyone avoiding, there are full of opportunity there.
We pay much for grinding jobs (Job specialization, universities); maybe we should put some cost on non-grinding skill as well?
I am happy it’s over
As my Corp CEO (@eve) saying “The most important thing is that lesson had been learnt”
