Negosyo defined

"Sa kasaysayan, ang negosyo o kalakal ay tumutukoy sa mga gawain o interes. Sa pinahabang kahulugan (simula noong ika-18 siglo), naging kasingkahulugan ng salitang ito ang pagkakaroon ng pansariling pangasiwaang komersyal. Sa mas pangkalahatang kahulugan, ito ang pagkadugtong-dugtong ng mga gawaing komersyal."

This is how the term "negosyo" is defined at http://tl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negosyo. The way I understand it, the term used to mean "trade" or "craft". But, in the 18th century, it started to mean a personal commercial undertaking or business. This is how Filipinos use the term today. It is something that we constantly hope we'd be able to do and do successfully. I am no exception.
