Hello beautiful hivers in hiveghana community. I am back again for another wonderful topic. I see this particular topic as an opportunity to say what I have in mind concerning the mistakes I have made in the past. So, this is me talking to my younger self. A sincere advice from experience.
This is a very gentle and friendly advice to my younger self. If I had someone who gave me this piece of advice the way that I would understand it back then, I don't think that I will be here today.
At a time I blamed everyone around me, some other time I will blame God and sometimes too I will blame my mother for bringing me forth. But today I know better than before. Life is not all about where you are from, who your parents are, who is ready to help you and who is not. Life is all about what you can make out of every opportunity given to you. I kept saying that coming out from a poor background is why I am still where I was then, but no. I never saw life the way and I ma seeing it today. If I had known, I would have hustle the more. I would have gone extra miles to change my story. Hmmm! I don't want to be too angry at myself. I would just say that this is what I have become because of lack of true knowledge.
MY CANDIT ADVICE.
Be courageous: I lack courage when I was growing up. I just taught that most people are better than me and so I will always keep quiet even when I know what to say. Sometimes when I force myself to speak, I will begin to stammer. All of these because I lack courage to face people. Not that I have phobia for crowd, but because I lack courage in myself. I would have believed more in myself. Maybe that would have helped me to do things better. Because of that I fail even before I start doing anything.
- Take risk when is needed: I never loved taken risk because I thought that it is risky to take risk. But today I discovered that it is more risky not to take risk in life. Life is all about risk. Every thing we do is risky. That is why one need to take risk.
- Don't b afraid to fail: Fear of failure made me not to adventure into so many things. I now know that it is better to fail and learn from your mistake. Failure sometimes is a great teacher. I learnt this late and by God's grace I am who I am today. I am no more afraid of falling because I know that when I fall I will stand up and continued the journey of life.
