Theres no day on nairaland without bad news and imo state

Oluwapresley:
In the last one week, I've read two very strong posts condemning salary earners and encouraging entrepreneurs/investors. In this one week also, I've also seen the amount of praises given to such write ups.
I also want to praise entrepreneurship! Yes, but constructively!

Its funny how everyone nowadays gives numbers and statistics on how entrepreneurs make millions monthly but won't say everything that entails those numbers.
My mother used to say; "at the end of every year, people see you sell Christmas chickens and they help you count all the money you are making from afar based on every customer that comes... But that's all they would ever know.. What comes in from afar"

That's the kind of picture people paint with almost everything. They paint from a far!

Of course, this call for entrepreneurship/investors is a very good call; however, they are called investors/entrepreneurs for a reason! You can't give what you don't have.
Or should I say you can't invest what you don't have!
But these posts have Sooooo condemned salary earners and painted sooo ugly a picture about salary earners that no one wants to be a salary earner. Which is a good thing actually but the resultant effect is a negative drive! Yes, a negative drive! People see the numbers you come up with..... I saw a post about a "danfo driver" who makes 1 million naira monthly..lol but the danfo driver never came out to say he makes 1 million naira monthly; our so-called clamourers for independence calculated his income for him..

This creates a negative drive.. That even those who don't have anything to offer start to say I want to be an entrepreneur.
Oh, or you think investing entails only money?
Investment entails a lot of things, man! From money to time, to knowledge, experience, the right people, luck etc. You can't give what you don't have. You can't invest what you don't have, if not, the result effect is failure!

Starting up something on your own requires sincerity! Are you ready for this?
They calculate how much u can make if u were alone..
But I also know a lot of business owners that have lost sooo much and committed suicide!
I know of guys that wasted all their money and time pursuing something for the wrong reason.

Investopedia says there is a difference between business owners and entrepreneurs. Not every business owner is an entrepreneur. There are differences and 1 of the difference is "innovativeness''.

If I happened to go back to my 100L days, I probably would Ace all my papers. If I go back to my primary school days, I probably wouldn't go to school at all and I will sit for exams and take the first position!
Why do u think this is so?
Its called growth!!

There are some guys that would go back to their primary school days and wouldn't still be able to pass their exams..

And there were some other guys that aced everything right from the start..

We need to understand that we are different.. You can't all go at the same pace. Some people need to grow. Grow in knowledge, wisdom, skills, abilities before they can actually do something.. If not, you are only Gonna fail and end up aving a negative mindset about starting up.

We need to realise that salary earners in that sense are also starting up something.. Its not always only about the salary. There are other ingredients you get even as a salary earner to be able to start up something..


I think these posts should be clearer. Sometimes, you have to be a salary earner before you become the almighty investor..
It doesn't mean I've forgotten my dreams.

My mentality might be messed up.. But this is exactly how I feel..

I had to quote everything so that those that skipped this will actually go back to it... God bless you.

Andyblaze: what of short tail? Like rat own

Sometimes nairaland is just fun to be @ op get her a pullover ac so that she can always put it on even in the bathroom, toilet, kitchen, indeed you are RICHES

Indeed no matter how hard you try you can never hide your attitude... Be careful what you wish for cos you just might get it. It's not about the replies it all about YOU

Bro you ve done the best thing by forgiving them but don't take her back even if she insisted on suicide let their conscience judge them both move on Bro there are still decent girls out there.
My own experience was different wish I could let u guys knw abt it without being banned still searching for suitable title HW I CAUGHT A NAIRALANDER ALBINO WITH MY GIRLFRIEND how abt that... or probably GO N DIE AFIN

Lol it was a crazy experience I was praying for forgiveness while i waited for the result when I went for the 1 test but ever since then it's just as normal as going for malaria test.

Lol arranging marriage just to make it cute hmmmmm (singing Enya's song only time will tell.....)

If you did restored the line and the airtime then why does he have to sue you for such huge amount I think Etisalat is hiding something

Am not in support of the FG nor ASUU but can we stop politicising everything that has to do with pdp/acn it's making nairaland loose it's value

Dude for 16k? You are joking right Pls I have touch2 for 14k it's perfectly working incase you help me get buyer

U don fffffkup u should have knelt down also to tell her Pls am no more interested... Super story who directed the script
