Advising your brother and made him cry as a result of the advise is good for him.
You have succeeded in making him realized his failure which is good.

Your brother is strong but he is just mentality lazy, he doesn't think of growing materially.

Most of us grew up like this, but took the challenge at a certain time to do something to make us become somebody in life.

Immediately I finished my secondary school I was chased out of my father's house because my mother doesn't like me (the reason was best know to her) and finally was able to convince my dad to push me out of his house.

Immediately I left my family house I started cutting hair in a barber's shop despite the fact that I was very good with hair cut and people were queuing for me to cut their hair, I was able to know that the pay won't take me anywhere. I left and started hustling with bike from there started driving taxi. After taxi I started driving trucks and trailers.

With time, I went bank to school and got my first and second degree in information technology.

Today I work in one of the Federal Government Agencies in Nigeria here.

My mom later apologized after my father's death and we settled our differences and I forgave her.

What led to the settlement was that, she didn't set eyes on me for a very long time because I left my state to another state to pursue a better life.

But just before my father's death, my father sent for me and stylish apologies for not supporting me in my life but encourage me to pursue my life with vigor that he has retired and won't be able to do anything for me in life anymore. But my mom wasn't aware of the settlement between me and my dad.

So, some months before my dad's death I was sending him money for hospital bill from the state I resides. And the day before he died he called me on phone and prayed for me seriously and encourage me to face life with courage.

When I got to my state for my father's burial my mom and my siblings were expecting me to come like a barber but they saw a different person.

During the burial there were so much argument because of money but immediately it come to my notice I will just bring out money to sort out the issues. My family became dumbfounded.
So, some few days after the burial my mum summon me from the hotel I put up and gathered my siblings and they all apologized for the bad things they did to me, but I stopped them from going to details and I forgave them and we drank together.

I forgave them because, as a result of my problem I became a serious Christian and I knew that I need to forgive to attract the remaining blessings

My brother, your brother has to push himself to become somebody. Those year he spent do conductor is enough for him to become the driver of a bus or even learn a trade.

You are doing well. Keep on advising him
