    Some Singaporeans can be incredibly ageist. Hawker stalls aren't just for old people to run. In fact, the younger generations ought to be encouraged to continue the culinary traditions of Singapore. As it stands, plenty of traditional dishes are already disappearing. All power to Charlene.

    ekichandra you can always save enough to quit and start your business or even start the side business on the side. Apparently, I’m going to the county in the employment and social service since my company is moving out of town. I will continue to run my side business and hopefully make if I just build up confident I can began to hire people to do the work for me. I would large a portion of my business profit to pay worker, but who knows. Trying is better than not

    Being a slave wage depends on the person. Some people don’t have that business drive like I am, but I still end up starting a business under the persuasion of my parents. Now it became my business because they back off entirely and I keep at it because it help pays family bills and would help me save up for other things I wanna try.

    She had a great education, from her father, from her overseas exposure, and she is still learning from her neighbouring hawkers. She speaks well, has a good even temperament and rationalizes well and remains respectful to her customers and elders. Keep it up young lady, I am telling you, the 9-5 working world isn't the bed of roses people think it is. All the best!

    Action > Reading I would not Sugar coat and say this lady is going to be successful... but she is going through a lot failures very quickly... through her dads recipe.. and there can only be so many failures.. before she would hit that nice sweet spot.. and find her niche in the market.... and the road to success begins from there. Never give up... and failures are finite... make as much mistakes as possible... and continue to take action... working 100-120 hour weeks And to the people looking at her like deers in the headlights... questioning and criticising... it’s going to be harder for you to succeed because she has already found her passion... and where’s yours? xD
