letter to my younger self

Dear David,

I stopped reading today to take a few minutes back to reflect on how you’ve been living your life. I know life could be very stressful, you’re very lucky you at least have someone to guide you and give you some good advice, I wish I had someone myself.

Now you’re about to enter college, please choose wisely. You will make new friends, there will be no daddy and mummy, there will be nobody to ask you I you have done your laundry or read your books or read your bible. There are friends and there are friends, remember to be wise as a serpent and be gentle as a dove.

1.   Read your books very hard, for the successes of today will greatly influence your tomorrow. When you look up do you see stars or do you see your dreams? The way up is the way down, be serious with your school work. Copy your notes conscientiously and ensure you have your assignments turned in at the right time. Don’t let procrastination take a grip of you; you will only end up regretting everything you left undone.
2.   I know you love writing; it had always been your hobby. Always remember that what thy hands findeth to do, do it well and the God of wisdom bless your endeavors.
3.   Steer clear from women and wine, though sweet they are the road to a man’s eventual downfall. They will take your heart away from God and steal your mind away from your textbooks. They steal your innocence and take away any pride you still have left.
4.   Never be arrogant. You might be the best in class yet you’ve got tons to learn from others who are not as intellectually endowed as you are. Always learn to give the credit to He who gave you the ability, be willing to learn, be willing to impart knowledge.
5.   Give. Give. Give. I can’t tell you enough that those who give are those who are blessed the most.
6.   Never say I can’t, those who are successful have one head just like you. The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is just a little extra effort. If others can, you more.
7.   Don’t look down on yourself, for that girl you thought you could never approach was waiting in vain for you to approach her. Take your chances, opportunity comes but once. Remember time and chance happeneth to every one equally.
8.   Take your choir practices seriously, never shrink back when you are asked to lead worship sessions or take solos. It is the road to improving your voice.
9.   I know you are also a very sensitive person, you are young and you still have years ahead of you. Take things easy; do not be in a hurry. What is yours will always be yours. Never misuse opportunity; you will never get some chances again.
I love you and I wish I could go back and live your life again but I can’t. Time never rolls back for anyone, you have seen my pitfalls and mistakes, and it is up to you to learn. The wise man learns from his mistakes, a wiser man learns from the mistakes of others.

Good luck as you live your life, enjoy it and learn to make a balance. There is time to be serious and a time to loosen up. Have fun and remember you only have one chance in a lifetime to be young. Use it to the maximum ability that you can.

God bless you…

Your older you!
David

@afeni,

do you blog? No! So you won't know it was just a game that had been passing around nigerian blog cycles for a while now.

Two, and what was "NOT" smart about the post? Thinking of which i can't remember reading any "smart" post from you either. your first post on this topic is probably an example of your kind of posts, done without thinking!

  of course that's the idea. It was started as JUST A GAME! Get a life!
