Life they say " doesn't have a manual" but at the same time we learn from our mistakes as well as other people's. I really do understand that we all have different fate and destinies but then let's have a piece to live with. I may not be the richest, smartest and even oldest but the little I have lived, I have seen a lot and have experienced much.
I will be touching some key aspects of our lives and I am so hoping you unlearn and learn as much as I have done that while going through some people's posts here.
At Work, maximize every opportunity to develop your skill, this will be what will distinguish you from the rest. Developing your skill and evolving with the trend associated with your field of expertise is what will give you and edge over others. Do not limit yourself to what your current job demands from you, be sure you get ready for bigger opportunities.
Nowadays, employers look beyond ones physical strength, yes! No body wants to see how healthy you are but how good you can execute your assigned tasks. The beauty of developing yourself while working is; you will be worth more than just a salary and stipends, you will create a legacy that will be in the brain of your employers that to some extent, they might think the company will not survive if you are being replaced.
In Marriage/Relationship, do not let others detect for you how you treat your partner, it is just the both of you, always find ways to figure out how to solve an issue or the other, that's the beauty of taking responsibility of ones action. Everyone has a flaw, do not let what you hear about your partner destroy the beautiful memories and union you are sharing with him or her.
Shun social media relationships, some are deceptive to a fault, do what works for you, some people are not worth emulating. Don't start what you can't handle to the very ending. Be intentional about growing with eachother not growing apart. Do not hesitate to take your sanity as top priority, don't die in a toxic relationship.
Life In General, try as much as possible to learn from people's mistakes, do not live your life on the detect of other people's opinion. Do not put yourself under any pressure to achieve anything or look like anyone. Everyone has their path to live, create yours and strop living on people's dream.
Everyday is an opportunity to right your wrongs, wakeup everyday with the desire to do it right, don't garnish your ill-attitude with some excuses thereby refusing to change, nobody will love you for living waywardly. For your peace of mind, do not harbor hatred, let love lead always.
Enjoy every step of the way, do not let the fear of failure outweigh the excitement of success. Own up to responsibilities and dust yourself anytime you fail, you people no one an explanation. You can only be called a failure just when you don't want to succeed any longer, count your failed steps as Mini success, atleast you tried and succeeded differently from how you expected it, don't ever write yourself off. Life will only give you what you put in.
