A boy looked around him. He saw every other person as beyond him. He started thinking what should he do to catch up and possibly outrun others. His parents were the dedicated type, he was blessed with respectful siblings, he has an uncle who cares although sometimes inconveniences him with errands at odd times, he got very few relatives who gives the little they can. But in the midst of all these blessings were also some big negatives: his father scolds at any slightest provocation, his mother has a motto"Work Work Work", his sister hmm..nagging is an understatement, Cleanliness was the incurable disease of day. Financially,he was just moderate but yet he needed cash at least to be able to afford the little luxuries his mates could. He then thought to himself, "What can I do to assist my parents in the workload they bear?" They were more than 10 in the family including some external helps and some extended family members. An idea occurred to him,'To save some of the money being given to him for upkeep and invest it in any profitable venture'. In three months time, he had saved enough that he decided to invest it. His first attempt at investment yielded no fruit. He lost all the money he has been saving for a while. He started saving again and within 3 months he had realized a reasonable sum. The big question came to mind,"Where can I invest this money so that it will yield a considerable sum at least in few months time?" As a technology savvy person, he decided to try doing it online. This was because he had looked around him; how many make their money and he decided that he wanted his own to be unique. He decided to make money through the internet. He started scouting the internet for any trustworthy venture he could invest in. This search took him four months before he was able to discover one. There it was, hidden in the open. He went in but there were some problems facing him. Those problems included not money but certain processes. He was asked to open an online account which he did with his debit card(MasterCard). Then the problems came:
1. Next was to fund that account, he started the process but along the way, his account was suspended due to security reasons. The Big problem now was to re-open the account since the funding process is already started and if it encounters any hindrance, there is probability of him loosing the money. He was asked to provide some four documents for the account to be re-opened. He tried all his possible best but it seemed that Lady-luck was against him. The first process was obtaining an I.D card.
2. Due to the unfavorable nature of situation in his country, that process took a very long time, almost a year. By then he had lost the money which was in funding process. One of the regulations was "One is not allowed to use the same credit or debit card for two or more accounts". He decided to get another debit card although credit card was more preferable because he could use it to receive money directly into his account. But credit card involved a much more difficult process especially for someone in his position(a student). So it was out of the option.
3. The following month he was able to obtain a new debit card(Visa debit) from his bank. Having learnt from his previous bitter experiences, he carefully opened a new online account. This time he was smiled upon by Lady Luck. With the money he funded, he started the online business. But will he succeed? if yes, to what extent? Only time will tell.
