Losing $200 000 is, as we know, a very big sum. Nobody likes losing their hard-earned money and not everyone would have the courage to start a new business again after failed venture. But, Miss Loretta Chen did and I admire here for that. It is not easy to be dealing with a failed venture and disappointment from her business partners. With every business, comes a risk and it is unfortunate that her trust was put into the wrong hands of her finance officer.
This goes to show that trust should be earned and as much as there should be trust between one another, it is always good to have a limit to trust. Yes, the failed venture was indeed an expensive lesson but it is also THE lesson that has got her to where she is now. Despite being successful, she is not money-minded and her efforts on setting aside money for charity is commendable.
