FEW LESSONS I LEARNT IN 2017

1. DON'T TRUST PEOPLE:
   Nowadays, people say what they don't mean. Actions speaks louder than words. Honesty is a very expensive gift don't expect it from cheap people. Real situation exposes fake friends.

2. Your HAPPINESS IS IMPORTANT:
   Do away with friends, job or relationship that threatens your happiness.
   Have lost friends and gained very important ones. It's called growth. If you ain't motivating me or encouraging me to be a better person. Then it means we are no longer on the same page. Life is too short to deal with dramas.

3. LEARN A SKILL: You ain't too old to acquire a skill. You job isn't permanent. Well except, your parent is the CEO.
   Skills learnt remain stock in your brain for life. It is for your personal use.
   You can make money from it in the future. Turn your hobby into a money making venture. Don't be idle

4. BE SELF EMPLOYED : It's not a must you resign from your place of work. But please ensure you have a second source of income. Invest wisely in a profitable business. Eccl 11vs 2 says Invest in seven ventures, Yes, in eight, you do not know what disaster may come upon the land

5. DONT BACK OUT WHEN FACED WITH CHALLENGES:
   Life isnt all rosy. Being self employed ain't no joke. Have cried, shouted, got pissed off and smiled. Yet I'm still gonna push forward. 2018 is my year. So help me God.

6. TAKE A BREAK FROM SOCIAL MEDIA :
   If I had invested the number of hours I spent on social media in learning a skill or acquiring an online degree my life would have been better.

7. EVERYBODY IS HAPPY WITH YOU UNTIL IT'S OBVIOUS YOU'VE STARTED DOING WELL WITH YOUR LIFE:

Your parents are the only people who truly wish to see you prosper. Don't feel bad when friends envy you.
To all my friends who didn't support me. I forgive you.

WORSHIP GOD IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH: And life will be easy for you. No one runs to God and comes back empty handed.

1. SAVE: I say Save. And then again Save your money. Start a DIY Money Box Savings (Kolo. It's just 200 in the market) from Jan 1. .
   You will be suprised how much you gonna get at the end of 2018.
   Be consistent with the saving program. I backed out along the way and here I am wishing I had money .

2. MAKE FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE WHO INSPIRE AND MOTIVATE YOU TO DO BETTER:

It's better you have just one friend than 10 friends who only encourage you to spend unwisely . Flee from friends who only encourage you to slay and pepper dem gang.

1. EXPECTATION IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL: It ain't any family member duty to help you. Don't expect favours from anybody. It's not your Right. Work and earn your own money. Most importantly, pray to God to send your personal helper to you.

2. DON'T DATE ANY DICK AND HARRY THAT PROFESS LOVE TO YOU : Be watchful and always trust your instinct.
   Its better to be single than be in a hopeless relationship.

3. Keep your secrets secret. No lecture on that.

4. CALL YOUR PARENTS OFTEN:
   Don't be far from them. Don't get carried away with youthful exuberance. They are your only true friends.

5. FORGIVE THOSE WHO HURT YOU: Even if they didn't ask for forgiveness. It's a self cleansing attitude. Also, be open minded that people will definitely offend you. Forgive anyway.
