If you are about to get into the university please put in for computer science. While in the university, be the best programmer you can possibly be. Take your core courses like data structures and algorithms and systems design very seriously as they are the Hulk of programming interviews. You would be spoilt for jobs when you graduate. Don't go for any engineering course. Medicine is good if you can leave Nigeria sha.

Why not engineering??

Learn a skill and keep at it, improve on it and expand in it, use the "we die here" mindset on it and success will come from it.

First, I know ur sexual homones are raging right now but u need to understand women are the number thing that can keep you unsuccessful, if you can get rid of them then 80% of ur problems are solved, now save money, always try as much as possible to make an income everyday,. Read books, eat right, go to the gym and workout. Keep a good body shape. As man you should at least strive to be a millionaire by 30.

Lol let me drop a secret for you.

Cos I've been in your shoes and I had to study and find the real spine of your question.


1. Find something you can buy at a cheaper price and sell at a higher or slightly higher price. I can't explain more but there is either a time difference between the time of purchase and sale or the location.
Sort this out by yourself. So basically you need money to make money.

2. You must be smart and constantly evolving with the factors around you.

In making money, you must not stick to let's say shoe sales, you can always jump to food or gadgets. The only thing you need is for the stars to align and only smart people will notice this.

Listen to advice but strategize and find your place. Nobody will give you nothing. I've read so many books and found out that luck is something you need. Get it by all means.

What is luck?
When the stars align for you at a time you are prepared. So stay prepared. If possible save capital from today for a business you have no idea about. One day the idea will come and you will be lucky.

So technically luck only exists when you are prepared.
You comment wisely,i
Applaud your reasoning capacity.

Re: At 20, What Are Things One Needs To Learn Or Do To Be Successful In The Future? by Nobody: 10:53am On Sep 07, 2020
When I was 19 in 2009 I thought I was too young for somethings like handling a business, having investment( like buying assets), I thought I was too young to sit down with elders, hear their struggles and strenght, I thought when I get to 25 I will have more knowledge and strength than I had in 19. I belittled all my knowledge both ones I read, learnt, observed or came to me. I wanted to belong, belong to what others are doing, be like everybody. I was too afraid to take giant step because I thought when am older I will know more and everything would be perfect. All I wanted to be was, be in a relationship(have sex and romantic partners), go to high institutions(and do nothing else than just school), use my youth innocence to depend on family and relatives for what I want..


The result.

At 25 I was still in 200 level, at 25 I only tried one business idea from thousands that came to me easily, the money I thought I would have had more, I had nothing and was still dependent(this time I have to frame lies to get enough money, I have had a couple of sex partners yet am not happy or satisfied( I needed more and more), I was not the genius kid I thought I was because at this moment reality was hitting me front and back( no more, I want to be a computer guru, or quick fix for this or that), I still have business Ideas but no one is ready to give thier money easily unlike when I was 19-20. I know somethings I could do with my life, things I should and can do when I was younger.


I am 30 today, I no more think anything is easy( everything worth achieving takes time and energy, some take up to ten years but the joy is at the last minute of the achievement you will forget all the years of those toil).


Everybody is not your friend, any friend that try to compare or compete with you is not your friend( run from them if you sense any attitude of comparison or competition, it doesn't always end well) then on your own side, never compare your self with people or try to devalue or value your self because of others( you either end up with false image or end up in self destruct). Value your self because you have knowledge of what you are doing. Only compare yourself with what you have achieved or what you want to achieve or your mentor accomplishments.

Understand that same way your thumb print or thought are unique to you is same way your destiny is unique to you, everyone will have a different story to say at the end, many things you think you know or many people you know now won't make any sense to you with time therefore don't hold on to anything.


There is nothing like divine destiny, no one is born to be great, you are not born to be a doctor or engineer or business man, time, chance and practice happen to anything good or bad or career you have ever known. If you don't make use of your time, or make use of opportunities or practice what you love or want, my friend everything you ever wanted to be will end up as wishful thinking..

Put it at the back of your mind that everything we love or fear was learnt, they are all memory, they can be unlearnt, modified or you can accept them. Fear is bigger in imagination than in reality. Most obstacles are mental and Emotion cannot hurt, they are just feelings.

Learn to save, exercise, observe behaviors, be rational in thought, read and read and read, learn all your can learn and use all your time to face all your fears and limitations. Start practicing being independent as early as you can.

If you want to advance easily, look for mentors,
I don't mean start following pastors or politicians. There are so many mentors dead and alive, reason you should read and learn far and wide. When you get that mentor either directly or indirectly, read all you can about them, make sure you emulate every aspect of them and never stop thinking you can exceed them in any capacity.

Remember whether you do this or not you would be 25 soon, you shall reach 30 and 35, never be intimidated by time ( Time is a universal law of life, everything happens with processes, through different stages and seasons).

Most importantly, never stop loving yourself, you will never escape that body and thought you carry, you can either modify them or take them as your own burden or strength. No one can love you more than you love yourself.

Shalom, grow wiser.
