What's the stupidest thing you've ever done?

The stupidest thing I have ever done was losing everything in my first business venture.

After I went to college, I always wanted to start my own business. At that time, there were many tutoring classes in our local area, and they thought this was a good opportunity to make money. So I took out a loan and invested a sum of money, and planned to run a tutoring class to make a fortune. At that time, I knew a person who had just graduated from college and was working as an English teacher in an elementary school. I contacted her then and she agreed. I found another classmate who was a top student and planned to teach English to children. My heart felt inexplicably swollen, and I even fantasized about how I would spend it after making money. Before enrollment even started, we started looking for classrooms. I rented a house from someone else and they offered me 1,500 a month, which I accepted. During the enrollment stage, I used a lot of ideas for promotional slogans, which would capture the hearts and minds of parents. For example, the promotional page says a lot about cultivating children's interest in learning and enabling them to develop good study habits that will benefit them throughout their lives. I also hired many temporary workers from 58.com to distribute leaflets to me.

While handing out flyers, a street sweeper got into a fight with us. At that time, I felt that I was very capable and scolded him. However, the response has been good, and many parents have come to me for consultation. At the beginning of the semester, I still recruited more than 10 students, which made my heart expand even more. At our place at that time, students were all tutored by their own class teachers, which made me feel accomplished in my heart. But I underestimated it. The English teacher I found gave an open class and she took all my students away. I still haven't found that person, which ended up causing my tutoring class plan to go to waste.

Failure is not terrible, but I was really a stupid failure. When it comes to running tutoring classes, my blind arrogance is downright stupid.
