I joined a running event a couple of weeks ago. The distance was 21 kilometers. Running is one of my few interests. For me, running gives me peace of mind. It keeps my sanity. I run every other day in preparation for a running event that I will be joining. In that running event, I had a different kind of experience. In every race, I aim at breaking my personal record. That’s my motivation whenever I run. I don’t compete with anyone. I just compete with myself. In the 8th kilometer of the race, I ran side-by-side with a guy who was just running his own pace. Perhaps his goal was to finish the race. Suddenly, he talked to me. He introduced himself. We talked about how we got into running. He was sharing with me his running experiences and how he badly finished a 21K distance a year ago. As we talked and discussed some personal things, I started to like him. When I saw the 16th kilometer marker, I checked my watch and noticed that I was way off my target time. With just five kilometers left, I was thinking if I will leave the guy behind who was already panting. I decided to run alongside with him. He was already breathing heavily in the last three kilometers. We finished the race and he expressed his happiness for meeting a guy like me. I gave him my mobile number and my email address. A few days later, I received an email from him telling me to check a website. to run alongside with him. He was already breathing heavily in the last three kilometers. We finished the race and he expressed his happiness for meeting a guy like me. I gave him my mobile number and my email address. A few days later, I received an email from him telling me to check a website. When I checked the website, I learned that he works as website builder
for a leading computer company in the world. He was thankful to me for pacing him. If not for me, he would have finished the race badly. Remembering his appearance, you wouldn’t notice that he’s a computer freak and an executive. He is a normal guy who is running just to be relieved of the stress that his work gives him.

Goodwill sometimes takes such a pain. It already is a giving spirit in play yet it is still difficult to pull it off. At some point, we must have experienced trying our best to be the great Santa Claus who just knows what is on anyone’s wish list. It is indeed difficult to find the perfect gifting idea, and it takes a professional to know what’s what for whom.

Because I used to own a gift shop in the late 80s which I gave up for another business opportunity, a lot of my friends still send me messages asking me for gift ideas. I would be at my best giving them details and where to get them. I still have the knowledge of how to contact the suppliers anyway. They do get their gifts at the best value too.

I have decided to revive the gift shop after almost three decades. My wife has been the best motivation and it is a great idea especially that the internet technology and Wix.com just gave me the best solution to put this business concept forward without the huge capital requirements and the complicated business plan. All I needed was a website through Wix.com – an effort that does not have to take a lot of resources anyway. There are no cost and time elements to be worried about. By simply knowing how to make a website , there is just the best option to begin a business without the complicacy.
