Reflecting back to 5 years ago, I would say that it has been God all the way. I can't say that it has been bad or too perfect. I know each year comes with its own ups and downs and that alone makes life more interesting. Because in the past five years , I have made mistakes, corrected myself and still move on.
The truth is every stage you pass through in life and every mistake that you make should serve as a lesson to you, if and only if you really wish to grow. And for me I have learnt from my past mistakes and it has shaped the present.
Let's talk about one forex investment that I did about five years ago and it was about 100 thousand naira investment. It was given to a trader to use and trade for me and then be paying me ROI , but he paid for few months and after that the story changed. He was giving excuse upon excuse. I didn't see ROI and I didn't see the capital I invested till date. It was so painful, but that was one of my financial mistakes some years ago.
Aside that, I keep saying that , had it been I knew what I know today some years ago , I would have really invested in skills, I would have devoted more time to learn about two important and serious skill. But now that there is no quality time, I find it difficult to devote time for that. But I know nothing is impossible that's why I am still working and planning towards it, because I know it's not too late, I can still learn it. It's just the matter of devoting some time and working on my schedule.
In the other hand, I can not say that I have regretted my past years, because looking at myself today, I am not where I use to be, at least I have achieve other things in other area of life. Especially career wise. If there's a chance to reverse, I am sure I would have fixed some of those mistake and I the gaps , then would still achieve more.
