It doesn’t matter what you have gone through or what people have done to you, it boils down to what you make of your experiences.
One Christmas, I walked several kilometres to attend church service because I had no bus fare and was too proud (smiles) to ask my uncle whom I lived with then.
I resigned from the job he helped me secure without informing him (so silly and thoughtless of me).
I wanted to be a motivational speaker, so I started approaching secondary schools for speaking engagement, but I guess the sight of a struggling young and zealous man wasn’t that appealing.
So, I returned to my father’s house to start a computer school with the help of a friend and another uncle who gave me a computer system. With that computer system I started teaching the use of Ms Word and Excel Suites.
I had five students at some point (which was a great feat for me then), of which three graduated. Alas, when my class was about increasing, the computer system crashed. It was as if my world crashed also.
The little income from that venture wasn’t just supporting me, but my siblings also, cushioning the burden on my mum who became a widow early, with 6 children.
Let me pause here for today. I will share my journey from that point in a subsequent post.
Until then, keep learning from both your good and not so good experiences.
Cheers and have a great day.
