All I want is to have something going on in my life but I won't even get that.
I am a father who work at home because I run a small business, courier agency, which its office is in my house. And sometime I got income from internet too, although still very small. But it's because I am not serious in make money from internet. I am sure, if I was serious, I could have enough income from internet.
I am sure about it because has been proven that there are people who can gain enough, or even big income from internet. One of them is Habibie Afsyah from Indonesia, the author of "Kelemahanku Adalah Kekuatanku" (My weakness is my strength), a book that motivate people to not give up to their fate.

Young bro, I am sure your condition is far better than Habibie. So, why do you give up?. Why don't you try to do something for those who love you and make them happy?. You can make your interest to computer become something productive. Maybe build a business in internet can be your way out.
