on Trade Value

I got some $ in my savings, which means i dont have to work for someone else to stay alive, i am thinking about how to use the $, especially in business. but what kind of business, i have been thinking here and there for few months, nothing concrete comes up, there's two project that i dip myself into, the first one is being abandoned half way, the second one seems shaky. I think i didnt address any problems or provide any solutions in the business, just an offering.

Which leads me to think, what is business? so far, i get its a form of trading, offering something that the perceive value to the customers is more than the cash they are paying. But what to be trade? what are others willing to pay for, what kind of business is to be venture into? with the commitment to work on it.... should i do something to get some income to keep my book looks better and more secure?

I remembered a story(real life) where a gentleman open a factory, that helps some africans housewifes to make cookies, creating a livehood for these housewifes, and sell cookies to the euro and US markets, pretty meaningful cookies.

Just watched a documentary on child prostitution in thailand, where kids from neighbouring country are being smuggered into thailand to work as prostitute or beggar, some were even being export to china, malaysia, and etc.... will i do something about it?
