When you become very weak economically, it becomes challenging to get out of this crisis. I am also suffering from the same economic crisis today because last month I made a deal and I took this provision so that I might become financially strong. I gave some of my land, which is agricultural land, on rent and I made a mistake in that when we made the deal, I did not receive the money in advance for it because the principle is that if you make any deal, the money taken in Advance is non-refundable. But we mostly trust each other, so the relationship of trust and confidence always remains. I thought that if we talked, both parties would try to fulfill it, but yesterday,y I came to know that the other party is reneging on its word and is going back on what we had agreed on and is saying again that we will make a new deal. Taking this risk has proven to be my mistake because I should have paid some advance. He would not have taken the money and our deal would have been completely successful.
The prices of agricultural commodities in Pakistan are at their lowest level because the government is not providing good rates to farmers. On the contrary, the prices of agricultural chemicals and seeds are not being increased despite their rates being at their highest ever, due to which the farmers are continuously suffering losses. I am going to take another risk in the coming days because this risk will be such for me that I do not know whether I will be able to succeed in it or not, but if a person continues his efforts, success is possible.
I have been thinking of growing sweet potatoes for the past few days. This is a big risk for me that I am going to take. For this, first of all, I will need good seeds so that my crop can grow well and its roots are firmly rooted in the ground. After that, I will need fertilizer and water. To grow it, I will need experienced labor who already has experience in planting this crop. This crop is about six months old and if it is nurtured well, it can give profit. For the past month, I have been collecting information about it so that I can benefit from it in the coming days. When a person does not know his coming days, he is blind and can only think and guess, but I hope that through this I will grow my own culture. I also request you people to pray for me.
First of all, I will need a suitable amount for the cultivation of the crop, which I am trying to arrange, but I have not been able to arrange yet. To grow this crop, about 150,000 Pakistani rupees Or 550 HBD are required, which will include seeds, land preparation, spraying, and other expenses. Then I can think of growing this crop because it is a great source of income. It may also happen that the amount you spend on the crop is less than the profit. This is not the case. Taking risks is very important to do anything.

Taking risk is so important because no one knows what will bring success. Though some risk teach us lessons, but we still keep on taking risks especially when we have the instinct that things might go well. My prayer goes to your new farm produce and I hope this risk you would be taking will be worth it.
