Ten years of hustling to make money online, but a major setback is now ruining it || Diez años de esfuerzo para ganar dinero en Internet, pero un gran contratiempo lo está arruinando
Life is like this,
we try to keep on track,
then a sudden events would happen,
which causes a lot of setback.
We really do not know,
the morrow will be certain,
because derailment of our plans,
could lead our plans in failing.
La vida es así,
tratamos de mantenernos en el camino,
pero de repente ocurren acontecimientos que provocan muchos contratiempos.
Realmente no sabemos,
el día de mañana será cierto,
porque el descarrilamiento de nuestros planes,
podría llevar a nuestros objetivos en el fracaso.
Our world has gotten sick and crazy despite of high technology.
Nuestro mundo se ha vuelto enfermo y loco a pesar de la alta tecnología.
My journey about earning online had started from joining "paid-to-click" which I never made a significant money from, and into a crucial website that catapulted my personal financial success and had lead me into achieving a level of financial freedom which had given me happiness and also a sense of security and it is indeed like a miracle for me because of the fact that I am "undergraduate" from College, no skill whatsoever, no experience to make a living from a vocation, plus I am physically sick, and yet I am able to reach something that many people are just dreaming of. My thankfulness to God cannot be contained, because it feels like God is supporting my efforts to make me survive this awful fate in life that affected my happiness in many ways. Actually I or we may have achieved our financial dreams already if not from the major problem that Putin had caused the world, the factor of the Pandemic which also had caused a major economic issues, and now, may God forbid it from happening, the supposed possible conflict of China and America because of China's push to claim the Taiwan territory.
Mi viaje sobre la ganancia en línea había comenzado de unirse a "paid-to-click" que nunca hice un dinero significativo de, y en un sitio web crucial que catapultó mi éxito financiero personal y me había llevado a alcanzar un nivel de libertad financiera que me había dado de la felicidad y también una sensación de seguridad. Es de hecho como un milagro para mí debido al hecho de que soy "estudiante" de la universidad, sin habilidad alguna, sin experiencia para ganarse la vida de una vocación, además de que estoy físicamente enfermo, y sin embargo soy capaz de llegar a algo que muchas personas sólo están soñando. Mi agradecimiento a Dios no puede contenerse, porque se siente como si Dios estuviera apoyando mis esfuerzos para hacerme sobrevivir a este horrible destino en la vida que afectó mi felicidad de muchas maneras. En realidad, yo o nosotros ya habríamos alcanzado nuestros sueños financieros si no fuera por el gran problema que Putin ha causado al mundo, el factor de la pandemia que también ha causado un gran problema económico, y ahora, que Dios no lo permita, el posible conflicto entre China y Estados Unidos debido a la presión de China para reclamar el territorio de Taiwán.
Suddenly we have hit a brick wall that is now difficult to overcome and all our plans and dreams have gone at a snail's pace, if not stopped altogether.
De repente, nos hemos topado con un muro difícil de superar y todos nuestros planes y sueños han ido a paso de tortuga, cuando no se han detenido del todo.
It actually makes sense to me why these totalitarian/autocratic/ communist countries like Russia and China tries to conquer other countries because it even happens in big businesses, they would try to absorb or buy other businesses that they know will help their business to grow more and earn more money. There are many examples of this like Facebook buying Instagram or Disney buying Pixar animation. It is one of the good side of Capitalism but in the other hand, the system of capitalism also includes killing other businesses that are smaller than them so they can dominate the market. In the case of Russia and China, they want to conquer other countries so that they can continue on conquering until they could control the smallest unit of society which are the individual citizens, why? because of the evil and personal gains of those that hold power on top, sometimes by a few individual but more often as I would see it, by only one person.
En realidad tiene sentido para mí por qué estos países totalitarios/autocráticos/comunistas como Rusia y China tratan de conquistar otros países porque incluso sucede en las grandes empresas, tratarían de absorber o comprar otras empresas que saben que ayudarán a su negocio a crecer más y ganar más dinero. Hay muchos ejemplos de esto como Facebook comprando Instagram o Disney comprando la animación Pixar. Es uno de los lados buenos del capitalismo, pero por otro lado, el sistema del capitalismo también incluye matar a otros negocios que son más pequeños que ellos para poder dominar el mercado. En el caso de Rusia y China, quieren conquistar otros países para poder seguir conquistando hasta que puedan controlar la unidad más pequeña de la sociedad que son los ciudadanos individuales, ¿por qué? por la maldad y las ganancias personales de los que tienen el poder en la cima, a veces por unos pocos individuos pero más a menudo como yo lo vería, por una sola persona.
Hunger for power which is fueled by greed is what makes a country a monster which makes its leaders a type of gangster.
El hambre de poder alimentada por la codicia es lo que convierte a un país en un monstruo que hace de sus dirigentes una especie de gánsteres.
It is really a scary thought about hundreds of millions or even billions of people being controlled by one person or a small groups of individuals, to force their greedy, brutal, and selfish agendas that causes hardships, loss of life, and loss of freedom among other losses to people who are helpless to do something about getting freed from such grip of these evil leaders of big countries. So all of us tend to suffer as a result, the spill-over of the dirty deeds from these evil leaders now is felt by other countries and not only within their own territories that they enslave. That is why that the world seems to be a smaller place than before because we are all inter-connected, one event is felt by other people or countries all over the world. There are no more sanctuaries for all of us to be left alone because whether we like it or not, we are all in this together and that factor makes me angry. It is like one of our neighbor is fighting and then we have no choice but to involve ourselves in that fight, it is crazy but it is happening right now.
Es realmente aterrador pensar que cientos de millones o incluso miles de millones de personas están siendo controladas por una persona o un pequeño grupo de individuos, para forzar sus agendas codiciosas, brutales y egoístas que causan dificultades, pérdida de vidas y pérdida de la libertad, entre otras pérdidas, a las personas que están indefensas para hacer algo para liberarse de tales garras de estos líderes malvados de los grandes países. Así que todos nosotros tendemos a sufrir como resultado, el derrame de las acciones sucias de estos líderes malvados ahora se siente por otros países y no sólo dentro de sus propios territorios que esclavizan. Es por eso que el mundo parece ser un lugar más pequeño que antes porque todos estamos interconectados, un evento es sentido por otras personas o países en todo el mundo. Ya no hay santuarios para que todos nos quedemos solos porque nos guste o no, estamos todos juntos en esto y ese factor me enfada. Es como si uno de nuestros vecinos se peleara y entonces no tenemos más remedio que involucrarnos en esa pelea, es una locura pero está ocurriendo ahora mismo.
Our world today is so intertwined that any disruptions from one part can be felt by another part regardless of the distance.
Nuestro mundo actual está tan entrelazado que cualquier perturbación de una parte puede ser percibida por otra, independientemente de la distancia.
I just briefly tackled these aforementioned issues because of their impact on my personal financial goals. I could have achieved them if not from the negative news that followed the Pandemic, the Ukraine invasion of Putin's power, and now the new conflict between China and USA or Taiwan, it makes me feel frustrated because we all deserved to live in peace and harmony in order to let ourselves reach happiness, but some evil people have other agendas and ruins it for all of us, sadly it is happening now in our lifetime, it is affecting me greatly and it is hard to endure it all psychologically. All that I can do is to pray to God that nothing more bad will happen and for the conflicts to come to terms so that once again we can enjoy peace for us to get on the road again to happiness and prosperity. But some entities out there seems to be living in an alternate reality where a bad thing is good and a good things is non-existent which they push unto others because they have power to do so. That is why this world had gone crazy even though we are living in a modern society but in reality we also got the modern problems that could possibly end our existence.
Sólo he abordado brevemente estos temas mencionados por su impacto en mis objetivos financieros personales. Podría haberlos alcanzado si no fuera por las noticias negativas que siguieron a la Pandemia, la invasión de Ucrania por el poder de Putin, y ahora el nuevo conflicto entre China y EEUU o Taiwán, me hace sentir frustrado porque todos merecemos vivir en paz y armonía para permitirnos alcanzar la felicidad, pero algunas personas malvadas tienen otras agendas y nos lo arruinan a todos, tristemente está sucediendo ahora en nuestra vida, me está afectando mucho y es difícil soportarlo todo psicológicamente. Todo lo que puedo hacer es rezar a Dios para que no ocurra nada más malo y para que los conflictos lleguen a un acuerdo para que de nuevo podamos disfrutar de la paz para que volvamos a estar en el camino de la felicidad y la prosperidad. Pero algunas entidades de ahí fuera parecen vivir en una realidad alternativa en la que lo malo es bueno y lo bueno no existe, y lo imponen a los demás porque tienen poder para hacerlo. Es por eso que este mundo se ha vuelto loco a pesar de que estamos viviendo en una sociedad moderna, pero en realidad también tenemos los problemas modernos que posiblemente podrían acabar con nuestra existencia.
I could have been doing much better now if not from the psychological effects of what was happening right now to our world but everything seems to be on a downward trend.
Podría haber estado mucho mejor ahora si no fuera por los efectos psicológicos de lo que estaba sucediendo en este momento a nuestro mundo, pero todo parece estar en una tendencia a la baja.
Going back to what I wanted to convey regarding my long journey in trying to hustle my way up to achieving financial success, I still regard myself as a winner. I mean it is better than not achieving something. My hard work did pay-off so well which is why I am still surviving because of the nature of situation that I am currently managing. You just can't survive if your life involves expenses that could have been be put into other things in life like food. But I have to pay, pay, and pay for my medical needs which are crucial for the continuation of my life. I am able to sustain it now but if things get worse from here, well I just have to accept it because not everything is within my control. I had gotten this far in life, every light of another day that I was able witness is just a bonus for me. Still I wanted to live as long as possible and also improve my life more, that is the reason why I am still hustling my way into achieving my goals and it has been around ten years and also had been doing it all online.
Volviendo a lo que quería transmitir con respecto a mi largo viaje para intentar abrirme camino hasta alcanzar el éxito financiero, todavía me considero un ganador. Quiero decir que es mejor que no conseguir nada. Mi duro trabajo dio sus frutos y por eso sigo sobreviviendo por la naturaleza de la situación que estoy manejando actualmente. No puedes sobrevivir si tu vida implica gastos que podrían haberse invertido en otras cosas de la vida, como la comida. Pero tengo que pagar, pagar y pagar mis necesidades médicas que son cruciales para la continuación de mi vida. Ahora puedo mantenerla, pero si las cosas empeoran a partir de ahora, pues tengo que aceptarlo porque no todo está bajo mi control. He llegado hasta aquí en la vida, cada luz de otro día que he podido presenciar es sólo un bono para mí. Aún así, quería vivir el mayor tiempo posible y también mejorar mi vida, por eso sigo luchando por alcanzar mis objetivos y ya han pasado unos diez años y también lo he estado haciendo todo en línea.
I had already achieved some great milestones in my life which is awesome. However it is a fact that some forces out there can prevent me for doing more for myself.
Ya había logrado algunos grandes hitos en mi vida, lo cual es impresionante. Sin embargo, es un hecho que algunas fuerzas ahí fuera pueden impedirme hacer más por mí mismo.
Sometimes when we try to search for something in our lives, we can find it. A long time ago I searched ways to earn money using the Internet, it was hard at first because of the cost of Internet connection and the type of Internet connection. I started from free Internet using free VPN, then having the paid connection, using wireless and expensive "broadband", until my sister gave me a free WiFi which is also fast. The Internet allowed me to find sites that had helped me to survive my health condition. I came from involving myself trying to earn a few fractions of a cent ad up to few dollars considering that I do not have much to offer but only the story of my life and the thoughts that I wanted to convey which sometimes infuriates others while to some takes it as an inspiration. But I can only give what I can offer, you take me as I am, a person that only wants normality in his life, trying to reach for the stars, and praying for more miracles to happen in his life, may God wills it for me.
A veces, cuando intentamos buscar algo en nuestra vida, podemos encontrarlo. Hace mucho tiempo busqué formas de ganar dinero usando Internet, al principio fue difícil por el coste de la conexión a Internet y el tipo de conexión a Internet. Empecé desde el Internet gratuito usando VPN gratis, luego teniendo la conexión de pago, usando "banda ancha" inalámbrica y cara, hasta que mi hermana me dio un WiFi gratuito que también es rápido. Internet me permitió encontrar sitios que me habían ayudado a sobrevivir a mi estado de salud. Pasé de involucrarme tratando de ganar unas fracciones de centavo de publicidad hasta unos pocos dólares considerando que no tengo mucho que ofrecer sino sólo la historia de mi vida y los pensamientos que quería transmitir lo que a veces enfurece a otros mientras que para algunos lo toma como una inspiración. Pero yo solo puedo dar lo que puedo ofrecer, ustedes tómenme como soy, una persona que solo quiere normalidad en su vida, tratando de alcanzar las estrellas, y rezando para que más milagros sucedan en su vida, que Dios lo quiera para mí.
Sometimes in this life if we try to find some things we have a great chance of finding it. We just have to do some hard work, determination, persistence among others so that we can reach our goals. All it takes is to make the first step and followed by another.
A veces en esta vida si tratamos de encontrar algunas cosas tenemos una gran posibilidad de encontrarla. Sólo tenemos que hacer un poco de trabajo duro, la determinación, la persistencia entre otros para que podamos alcanzar nuestras metas. Todo lo que se necesita es hacer el primer paso y seguido por otro.
Putin raging now and also Mr. Ping...
...The world is not well now because of their painful sting.
Translated in Filipino [Taglish]
Ang aking paglalakbay tungkol sa pagkakakitaan online ay nagsimula sa pagsali sa "paid-to-click" na hindi ko kailanman pinagkitaan ng malaking pera, at sa isang mahalagang website na naghatid sa aking personal na tagumpay sa pananalapi at umakay sa akin sa pagkamit ng isang antas ng kalayaan sa pananalapi na nagbigay ng sa akin ng kaligayahan at din ng isang pakiramdam ng seguridad. Parang himala talaga para sa akin dahil "undergraduate" ako sa College, walang skill kahit ano, walang experience na maghanapbuhay sa bokasyon, plus may sakit ako sa katawan, pero naabot ko ang isang bagay na pinapangarap lang ng maraming tao. Hindi mapipigil ang aking pasasalamat sa Diyos, dahil parang sinusuportahan ng Diyos ang aking mga pagsisikap na mailigtas ako sa kakila-kilabot na kapalaran sa buhay na nakaapekto sa aking kaligayahan sa maraming paraan. Sa totoo lang ako o tayo ay maaaring nakamit na ang ating mga pangarap sa pananalapi kung hindi dahil sa malaking problema na idinulot ni Putin sa mundo, ang salik ng Pandemic na nagdulot din ng malaking isyu sa ekonomiya, at ngayon, nawa'y ipagbawal ng Diyos na mangyari ito, ang dapat posibleng alitan ng China at America dahil sa pagtulak ng China na angkinin ang teritoryo ng Taiwan.
It actually makes sense to me why these totalitarian/autocratic/ communist countries like Russia and China try to conquer other countries kasi kahit sa malalaking negosyo, they would try to absorb or buy other business na alam nilang makakatulong sa business nila para mas lumago pa. at kumita ng mas maraming pera. Maraming mga halimbawa nito tulad ng pagbili ng Facebook sa Instagram o pagbili ng Disney ng Pixar animation. Isa ito sa magandang panig ng Kapitalismo ngunit sa kabilang banda, kasama rin sa sistema ng kapitalismo ang pagpatay sa iba pang negosyong mas maliit sa kanila para madomina nila ang merkado. Sa kaso ng Russia at China, nais nilang sakupin ang ibang mga bansa upang magpatuloy sila sa pananakop hanggang sa makontrol nila ang pinakamaliit na yunit ng lipunan na ang mga indibidwal na mamamayan, bakit? dahil sa kasamaan at personal na mga pakinabang ng mga may hawak ng kapangyarihan sa itaas, minsan sa pamamagitan ng ilang indibidwal ngunit mas madalas gaya ng nakikita ko, ng isang tao lamang.
Talagang isang nakakatakot na pag-iisip tungkol sa daan-daang milyon o kahit bilyon-bilyong tao na kinokontrol ng isang tao o isang maliit na grupo ng mga indibidwal, upang pilitin ang kanilang sakim, brutal, at makasariling mga agenda na nagdudulot ng mga paghihirap, pagkawala ng buhay, at pagkawala ng kalayaan sa iba pang mga pagkalugi sa mga taong walang magawa upang makalaya sa gayong mahigpit na pagkakahawak ng mga masasamang pinunong ito ng malalaking bansa. Kaya lahat tayo ay may posibilidad na magdusa bilang isang resulta, ang spill-over ng mga maruruming gawain mula sa mga masasamang pinuno ngayon ay nararamdaman ng ibang mga bansa at hindi lamang sa loob ng kanilang sariling mga teritoryo na kanilang inaalipin. Kaya nga parang mas maliit na lugar ang mundo kaysa dati dahil lahat tayo ay magkakaugnay, isang pangyayari ang nararamdaman ng ibang tao o bansa sa buong mundo. Wala nang mga santuwaryo para tayong lahat ay maiwang mag-isa dahil sa gusto man natin o hindi, lahat tayo ay magkasama at ang kadahilanang iyon ay nagagalit sa akin. Parang nag-aaway yung isa naming kapitbahay tapos wala kaming choice kundi isali yung sarili namin sa away na yun, nakakabaliw pero nangyayari na ngayon.
Sa madaling sabi ko lang tinalakay ang mga nabanggit na isyung ito dahil sa epekto nito sa aking mga personal na layunin sa pananalapi. Maaabot ko sana ang mga ito kung hindi sa mga negatibong balita na sumunod sa Pandemic, ang pagsalakay ng Ukraine sa kapangyarihan ni Putin, at ngayon ang bagong salungatan sa pagitan ng China at USA o Taiwan, nakakaramdam ako ng pagkabigo dahil lahat tayo ay karapat-dapat na mamuhay sa kapayapaan at pagkakaisa upang hayaan ang ating sarili na maabot ang kaligayahan, ngunit ang ilang masasamang tao ay may iba pang mga agenda at sinisira ito para sa ating lahat, nakalulungkot na nangyayari ito ngayon sa ating buhay, ito ay nakakaapekto sa akin nang malaki at mahirap na tiisin ang lahat ng ito sa sikolohikal. Ang tanging magagawa ko lang ay magdasal sa Diyos na wala nang masamang mangyari at magkaayos na ang mga sigalot upang muli nating matamasa ang kapayapaan para muli tayong tumahak sa daan patungo sa kaligayahan at kasaganaan. Ngunit ang ilang mga entity sa labas ay tila nabubuhay sa isang kahaliling katotohanan kung saan ang isang masamang bagay ay mabuti at isang magandang bagay ay hindi umiiral na itinutulak nila sa iba dahil mayroon silang kapangyarihan na gawin ito. Kaya naman nagwala ang mundong ito kahit na tayo ay nabubuhay sa modernong lipunan ngunit sa katotohanan ay nakuha rin natin ang mga modernong problema na posibleng magwakas sa ating pag-iral.
Kung babalikan ang nais kong ipahiwatig tungkol sa aking mahabang paglalakbay sa pagsisikap na magmadali sa aking paraan upang makamit ang tagumpay sa pananalapi, itinuturing ko pa rin ang aking sarili bilang isang nagwagi. I mean ito ay mas mabuti kaysa sa hindi pagkamit ng isang bagay. Ang aking pagsusumikap ay nagbunga nang husto kung kaya't ako ay nabubuhay pa rin dahil sa likas na katangian ng sitwasyon na kasalukuyang pinangangasiwaan ko. Hindi ka lang makakaligtas kung ang iyong buhay ay may kasamang mga gastos na maaaring ilagay sa iba pang mga bagay sa buhay tulad ng pagkain. Ngunit kailangan kong magbayad, magbayad, at magbayad para sa aking mga medikal na pangangailangan na mahalaga para sa pagpapatuloy ng aking buhay. I am able to sustain it now but if things get worse from here, well I just have to accept it because not everything is within my control. Hanggang dito na ang narating ko sa buhay, bonus na lang sa akin ang bawat liwanag ng panibagong araw na nasaksihan ko. Nais ko pa ring mabuhay hangga't maaari at pagbutihin pa ang aking buhay, iyon ang dahilan kung bakit patuloy pa rin akong nagsusumikap para makamit ang aking mga layunin at ito ay nasa sampung taon na at ginagawa na rin ang lahat online.
Minsan kapag sinubukan nating maghanap ng isang bagay sa ating buhay, mahahanap natin ito. Matagal na akong naghanap ng mga paraan para kumita gamit ang Internet, mahirap sa una dahil sa gastos ng Internet connection at sa uri ng Internet connection. Nagsimula ako sa libreng Internet gamit ang libreng VPN, tapos may bayad na koneksyon, gamit ang wireless at mamahaling "broadband", hanggang sa binigyan ako ni ate ng libreng WiFi na mabilis din. Pinahintulutan ako ng Internet na makahanap ng mga site na nakatulong sa akin upang mabuhay ang aking kalagayan sa kalusugan. I came from involving myself trying to earn few fractions of a cent ad up to few dollars considering that I don't have much to offer but only the story of my life and the thoughts that I wanted to convey which sometimes infuriates others while to some tinatanggap ito bilang inspirasyon. Pero ang kaya ko lang ibigay, kunin mo ako bilang ako, isang taong gusto lang ng normalidad sa buhay niya, sinusubukang abutin ang mga bituin, at nagdadasal na marami pang milagro ang mangyari sa buhay niya, nawa'y loobin na ibigay ng Diyos ang mga bagay na ito sa akin.
We must continue with our hustle, because that is the best thing to do, but if you give-up and start complaining, then nothing will happen to you.
Tenemos que seguir con nuestro empeño, porque es lo mejor que podemos hacer, pero si te rindes y empiezas a quejarte, no te pasará nada.
Kailangan nating magmadali sa paggawa, sapagkat iyon and pinakamahusay na dapat gawin, ngunit kung tayo a susuko ngayon, walang magyayari sa atin.
Making a living online is a perfect fit for you and I continue to enjoy following you and reading your posts.
Hi @azfix, yes without this gifted chance for me to earn money I would not had been alive until now because it allowed me to help myself without bothering someone for support.
I had experienced people would not answer the phone or changed their SIM cards so that I will not be able to contact them. So at that point I told myself I would be given a chance to help myself, I will refuse any help from others so that they will not be uncomfortable being with me and being nervous that I might ask help from them.
That is what I am doing and now I am more than happy because not all people are like me in that regard. So this modern way of earning something is truly God-sent for me.
Thank you for your kind words and support. 😊👍
Dios te proteja.
