What's The Best Advice You've Received From Your Parent Or An Elderly Person? by SyrusdeHansome(m): 8:11am On Mar 27, 2020
One day my dad sat me nd my siblings down 4 morning prayer. B4 prayer we normally had a short sermon. So this morning my dad was advising us on how to choose a career.
He gave us one advice that I don't think I'll ever forget 4 de rest of my life. He said, my children never aspire to bcom a civil servant because if u do you'll never be wealthy. Mind u my dad was a secondary school teacher so he knew why he said that. Till today that piece of advice is still influencing my behavior. I can never become a civil servant.

Pls note that I'm not in any way trying to look down on pple that are civil servants. My dad was a secondary school principal and my mom is a primary school teacher, so I know why I can never toe that path.

As much as I agree, working in a better economy has tremendous benefits for a civil servant
For me, the best advice I was given was for covid 19(2 Tim 2:13) saying God will remain faithful weda I believe it or not and covid19 will be rooted out of this nation
