This thread is a Sequel to this 2020 thread https://www.nairaland.com/6335485/what-lessons-learnt-2020

As the year runs out, I thought it wise to once again reflect on lessons we have leart so far this year. I believe that we live to learn and in learning we live.

Here are 5 penned down leasons I became acquitted with this year.

1. Expect the best but prepare for the worst. Planning Is good but only up to a certain point because, more time than not, life does not go according to plan.
Do make your plans, but keep in mind things will most likely develop differently than what you planned.

As Mike Tyson once said " Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face."

You can't always get what you want no matter how you try. There are many things I tried to accomplish but no matter how I tried there are many challenges I kept facing.

2. Many people are too proud of whatever they think they have , belief or possess and tend to use this criteria to look down on others or fight them . We are proud of our ignorance, proud of our religion or denomination, proud of our tribe, proud of our socioeconomic status .

These are things we did nothing to get. We were fortunate to have found ourself in such tribe, religion, socioeconomic status (poor, rich or middle class) etc.


3. The 80/20 rule:
This is a principle that states that roughly 80% of results are generated from 20% of efforts.

To explain this law further:
• 20% of employees account for 80% of the companies success.

• You wear 20% of your clothes 80% of the time .

• You walk on 20% of your carpet 80% of the time.

• You spend 80% of your time with only 20% of your friends.

• 20% of Nairalanders deliver 80% of nairaland content.

4. People tend to remember more of your bad side that the good .
You may do many good things but once you do bad, that is where you get heavy criticism irrespective of your past good deeds. You might have been helping someone consistently but the day you refuse, you are seen as lacking compassion or wicked.

I think the human brain has a tendency to remember more bad things than good. I also think that's why bad news tend to get our attention more than good ones.

5. People always judge a book by it's cover. Within seconds of seeing you people have already judge you based on how you appear and project their thoughts on what you are like ,even before getting to know you.

What lessons have you learnt?

Do u have prior knowledge about programming or you're a newbie?

Lalami3232:
I'm a bad teacher but a good mentor. I would so push you to the wall until na you go vex block me for Whatsapp .
I don't mind waking you up by 1AM for you to get up and start writing codes. So my guy, people dey see me dey run because of my insatiable appetite for learning. Now u see why I can't accept your offer. No vex!!!

Lalami3232:
Both are good, even W3schools.
But I never used any of them because I prefer getting different books from different authors online, with that, my knowledge is broader and wider. If I no dey grasp the concepts, I go use the DOC of the language/framework instead of those coursera/w3school.
Udemy videos still make sense too but u no fit compare yourself wey use udemy videos to people wey read different books.
Why I dey always stand out from the multitude be say, I wan know how the stuffs dey work behind the scene, not just how E dey compile at runtime. Laslas, do whatever works for you sha.
If I tell people say NodeJS na C++ program wey dem embed for inside Google v8 engine, dem no go believe. For the young developer, no just limit yourself to one source of learning, get different resources, that one go make u know am very deep.

I don talk am before and I go talk am again, "Instead of you to truncate your life by doing yahoo/runs, go learn software development".

Rich kid.
Spoiled to the core with money.
He is probably playing football to catch cruise.

Even if you have to starve, buy a piece of land. Build a house and have a garden where you can grow food.
Don’t buy another iPhone, or another designer outfit, or aso ebi, until you have started on the journey of home ownership.
Don’t wait to buy a house.
Rather, buy or build a house and wait!”

US inflation hits highest level for nearly 40 years
By Lucy Hooker.
American shoppers, especially those on low incomes have felt the pinch of
higher prices, with annual inflation at rates not seen for 40 years.
The latest figures show prices rose 6.8% in the year to November.
Bibi who works as a cleaner in Harlem, New York, said she has had to cut
back as a result, sometimes buying just one meal to share with her 27-year-
old son.
"We don't have any choice," she said, "I can't afford to cook."
"I take a little bit then I give him more because a mother is always going to
do that for her child."
Price rises have pushed up food shopping bills, and petrol prices jumped
6.1%, while the cost of second-hand cars and rent also rose.
While the monthly pace of price rises at 0.8% eased a little compared to
October's 0.9%, people like Bibi have felt the cumulative effects on their
budgets.
Patricia, who has just shopped in the local supermarket, said her bill is about
$30 a week more than it used to be, so she's replaced chicken and pork
chops with more vegetables, although prices for fresh produce are also
higher she said.
"It affects me a lot right now, I'm not working," she said.
Maria has just retired and said she's noticed that what she buys is not only
pricier but often smaller too, especially the bagels.
"I'm not going to buy them again for a long time. They used to be big bagels,
now they're smaller and more money," she said.
Biden says US economy 'in strong shape'
US jobs growth falls far short of expectations
Prices for American consumers are rising at their fastest annual rate since
June 1982. But the impact is felt more amongst those on the lowest
incomes, with the least room to manage.
Rising inflation is also putting pressure on President Biden as he tries to pass
his $1.9tn (£1.4tn) social spending bill.
Some economists blame the president's previous spending programmes,
designed to offer support amid the Covid pandemic, for exacerbating price
increases.
Giving it gas
"One of the major reasons we have inflation is because the government
spent so much money," said Christopher Campbell, chief strategist at Kroll a
risk consultancy, and a former Treasury official under President Trump.
He argued that further spending could make inflation worse.
"At the end of the day we hopefully are on the tail end of the pandemic, and
the government is still putting its foot on the gas, on the levels of spending."
However Claudia Sahm, senior fellow at the Jain Family Institute and former
Federal Reserve economist said government spending is not the cause. She
said the reason inflation has persisted is because the pandemic has not been
brought under control, affecting the supply of things like cars, fuel and food.
"The longer the Covid-related disruptions last, the more that starts to spread
into the prices of goods," she said.
She said with energy prices falling recently, inflation should start to ease.
"There are signs that we may be turning the corner soon, but Omicron is a
new wild card."
Supply squeeze
In the meantime the poorest are facing both the end of pandemic-era extra
support and rising prices.
"Food is a much larger proportion of lower income families' budgets," points
out Christopher Wimer of Columbia's Centre on Poverty and Social Policy.
"Lots of people use gas [fuel] but in terms of heating and utilities as well as
transportation, those costs eat up a larger share of low income folks' budget,
than higher income folks' budgets, which might be driven more towards
leisure, commodities and things like that."
Price rises are affecting some parts of the country more than others too,
with the south and mid-west impacted more.
Dare to Care, a food bank in Louisville, Kentucky, said it has felt the effect of
both inflation and supply chain problems.
"Overall we're spending a substantial amount more," said Annette Ball, Dare
to Care's chief programmes officer.
Usually a lot of Dare to Care's food comes from producers and retailers
passing on any surplus they have.
"Right now that's just not happening - people want that overrun. There's
demand in the market for that, so it's going out into the retail avenues."
Dare to Care has had to buy food at retail prices instead, and the cost of
transport has risen too.
"Freight has doubled, even tripled [in price], in some instances," she added.
As a result, Dare to Care has made compromises, like not including
wholegrain bread or pure fruit juice as often.
Rate expectations
President Biden has pledged to make tackling inflation a priority and has
made moves to ease supply chain problems, including changing rules for
transport operators. But expectations are now focused squarely on the
Federal Reserve too.
Speculation is mounting that the Fed will reduce the bond-buying support it
provides every month more quickly than planned, paving the way for a
possible rise in interest rates next year.
"The Fed is going to have to move," said Beth Ann Bovino US Chief
Economist, S&P Global ratings
"We expect them to now to speed up tapering and reach zero [monthly
support] by March with at least one [interest] rate hike in 2022."

backbencher:
No I am not he of whom thou speakest of

backbencher:
The problem as you put it aptly is people believing in their pastor's.

When pastor is the one people believe, pastor becomes more and more concerned about looking and maintaining a good image than following God.

Jesus when he was here was not attacking the Pharisees for being religious so to speak ( the same Pharisees were.people who to a large extent played a great role in preserving the Jewish religion at times when it came under threat, plus a Pharisee became Christianity's first main theologian ), but for being religious so that they could look good , to the point of neglecting their standing before God.

Many pastor's today are so concerned about looking the part of a powerful man of God that they forget that in the business of God's work, God is the star and we are just there . He can work without our help,but he chooses us not just to accomplish his work but to also draw closer to him and draw others closer to him.

Not to look good

I've decided to work on this animation in the spaces I get between paid jobs, so it's moving at a very slow pace.
I'll be posting my progress on the thread from time to time till the project is complete.

complexBoss12:
Who ever knows this niggar should advice him to stay away from his phone for awhile. he started off churning out facts when needed and everyone loved it, but one thing human beings constantly abuse is limit.

I am not saying he is lying, but he is recently beginning to rub his supposed knowledge and exposure on our faces, like he is showing off, and people don't like that.
