If you could go back in time to give advice to your younger self, what could it be?
"Wait, are you serious...you know what I will do? I will advise myself about getting married, bro, you know how much I spend for the family, honey I want to fix my hair, honey money for upkeep, the general overseer of them all is the children's school fee", said the caller on a radio program. As soon as he finished, he could not stop laughing as everyone was enjoying what he said. It seems other people had the same issues too.
Now the phone rang again, and the caller shared his thoughts about what he would do. "I will tell myself: oga this sporty bet you dey play, e no go carry you go anywhere, you better find better investment wey go give you better money.....make I tell you, no let anybody whine you say tomorrow go better because Na shege full tomorrow"* said the caller. Deep in my mind, I know this one has been playing sporty bets for a long time. Only God knows how much he wasted on it.
The program was fun as people shared different thoughts they would advise themselves, like education, money, investment, life and social media. They are not wrong about what they said because the way of living this day is different from what we use to think. Then I ask myself what could it be if I could go back in time to advise my younger self? Anyway, I wish I knew it, I would know how to adapt by now.
The advice I would give myself would be to do partial work. Why? Back then, in our time as a student, you only focused on school; school holidays were for travel and visit. We use that time to visit our uncle and aunties, Grandma and Grandpa in the village, playing and doing all sort of things. But today even a primary school student is partially engaged in handwork. After school hours, they would be going to the training center to learn handwork. For girls, they will learn how to plant hair, do make-up, fix eyelashes and so on. For boys, they would learn barbing, designing, mechanic and tailor.
For what reason? It is easy. Even before they finished school they could have been free and master with the various hand work. So even after school they would not be stranded on what to do as they have handwork to start making a living for themselves. So my main advice to my younger self would be: "bro....hustle oo. Grab any available opportunity you see, offline & online..Learn and Invest in cryptocurrency (most important)."
I will also advise myself about education, being intelligent as that is the key factor of making money online today. I have a lot to say......will it be too long? What about you, @wakeupkitty, @cicisaja, @goodybest. I know there is a lot to say about this. I'm waiting for this. No, I will not forget to mention @ogechukwu-martha, @mesola, @emisheal60, @saintkelvin17 and @emmaboy23.
