There is no free service in this world

I am thinking of people like to take advantage on me as I always help people to do some maintenance job on their personal PC and home matter in IT. I think it’s time to tell them that there is no free service in this world.

I just got called up last weekend for the Laptop problem from my Ex-colleague, as she just buy a laptop and encounter some Software problem and need me to take a look on it in order to fix it. I was like “what??!!! Do I get any return from that?” My colleague who bought a new laptop for his own use and come back with the problem with the software and ask me to find pirated software for him and he can install in his laptop for use. I refuse to do so as I don’t really support people use pirated software.

I am thinking of if I charge them like RM20 when they come to me every time, I would be richer than now and making lots of side income from that. But kind people only suffering as they don’t really like to charge friend on the service provided. And in return they got nothing from the service provided.

I got one bad experience in my life, friend who always called me for the PC fixing at his Mobile store, end up selling a lousy and broken mobile to me as return and now I am no more as his service provider for the PC problem.

Maybe you also face this kind of friends before. So, just tell them that there is no free service in this world, please pay some money as I am providing some advice and service. Kekekeke…
