Life must goes on, people always talking about that. Yes this year I got out of one community and I think everything gonna work fine. But I realize I’m too naive thinking like that, people can say I’m too easy to trust people. Each time people said careful with your judgement, I just said that person can be trusted…. and here I am facing consequences of my decision.

I partnered as investor with my fellow guy in the community, I respected this person as leader and my discipler, the stories started when he was in financial trouble, I lent him and said its okay you can return it to me later slowly. After that event, he resigned from his work, all I know he got resignation benefit from Jamsostek and paid all he owed (I’m not included). Not long from that time, he partnered with other guy but with bad percentage of profit sharing of 50:50. He came to me and offered 30:70 while showing me report of income, I simply trusted and think okay I can make the deal better.

You take 70% and also calculate your transportation cost, all the cost needed to do this business.

The deal soon started out of trust, I can withdraw profit after reach Rp. 10,000,000 (I started with Rp. 6.000.000), near end of last year I added Rp. 3.000.000 also with phone and tab to sell valued around Rp. 1.000.000. November is the first profit withdrawal Rp. 590.000 and December is the second Rp. 1.280.000. After that he ask me to wait he’ll transfer next month with all of the last month profit.

I waited, waited, waited until start of March I ask when will he transfer, he only ask for my bank account number and ask me when he can meet me, I said I’m available at Cikarang, when I return to Jakarta it’ll be tentative because currently its been busy time. We hadn’t met, last reply from him was 18 March. No reply, only avoidance, I shot msg at his Facebook, but no reply.

What I feel only disappointment, No perfect friend, no perfect communities, especially when I heard rumor around that I break the contract and not in partnership again. I can only said, “Never sacrifice friendship because of money, money can be found, but true friend hard to find”.

I can only said, thank you, you can take everything but remember to repent when there is time, thank you for teaching me so I can be careful around whoever I called friend.

Let’s back to trading.
