If I had known I'd have reduced my cocky attitude back then in the university and I would never have come out with a 3rd class.
Imagine coming from a poor family with no connection and having a 3rd class degree.

I can say it was youthful exuberance, but it's still my fault 100%
(I was not a cultist, I was just nonchalant and over confident)

Not to make jest of you, but if there's one chance I appreciate that nature took back from me, it is the chance not to have attended school despite how early I set out in life. I had my first admission to study Law when I was 16.

If I had gone to school at the time I had my admission, I am sure I would have graduated with a 3rd class despite how intelligent I was. I may have bowed to peer pressure to belong, or even lost focus going by my antecedent "youthful exuberance". I was a habitual truant, suffered from ADHD, was a big snub, and was very proud (still a bit, though in check). I would have stepped on so many toes, got into trouble, missed classes, and not focused on studies.

I am an adult now and have a diploma. Although I ought to have achieved far better than I presently have if circumstances were right, I would say that I'm now more emotionally intelligent and independent, therefore, I understand the law of "cause and effect" such that should I do things wrong, I am accountable for my mistakes if I fail or pass and not blame another. So, it's now more of a blessing in disguise than a regret.

Hold on strong. Learn viable IT skills. There's always light at the end of the tunnel.

Behavioural adaptation is critical to one's survival. Addressing conflicts may entail altering one's nature as frequently as needed.

Master this skill and master life itself.

Never read about it anywhere. But, intuitively, I knew sometimes I needed to bend my personal rules in my daily interactions with other people. I am me as the occasion demands. Nothing is fixed.

That YouTube, Google, freecodecamp.org, and w3schools.com were better than a university degree.

If I had known, by now I would have become one of the greatest programmers

If we had known all these earlier!

The kids of nowadays are being told but they are just after getting into university. I don't just understand them. I told one that if I had someone telling me what I am telling you now, I could have gone very far in life.

Thank you for this!
You literally described me.
I got admission at 16, I was young.
God knows my parents tried their best (they still are), but the lure Owerri had on a naive young boy like me was too much to ignore.
I also suffer from ADHD

I finished in 2016, I would be rounding up service by next month (I would be 27)

I still believe that degree is not for me, i am currently an undergraduate at NOUN, studying criminology.

I gym now as it helps me focus (it's what works for me!)

I hope life gives me just one more chance sha..

But thank you

About the tech industry, how legit is alx-africa?

1. I should have embraced crypto around 2013 to 2015.



2. Just immediately after COVID-19 I should have looked for an avenue to Jakpa.


Anyways I thank God that I embraced THE TRUTH from childhood and that is what matters the most.

You can always achieve what you set your amazing mind to do. Sometimes with pain, and so much effort, buts its a Journey, and the Journey is as important as the destination.

Thank you so much.
I'm trying to be a better man.
I just hope one recruiter would give me a chance, just one.

Walai cheesy But it's easier said than done. I know people who bought bitcoin as far back as 2011/2012 and, today, they're still "broke." The hardest part of investing is being patient. Are you patient enough to abandon your money and leave it hanging for 12 years?

So, did it make them richer or better?

The black man should know that life is way beyond sex.

AND THAT IS WHY PORNOGRAPHY INDUSTRIES HAVE THEIR HEADQUARTERS SCATTERED ALL OVER AFRICA. THE AFRICAN CULTURE IS VERY DEEPLY ROOTED IN PROSTITUTION UNLIKE EUROPEANS. INFACT WHITES RUN AWAY FROM BLACKS BECAUSE THEY FEAR WE WILL DENT THEM WITH OTHER FORMS OF SEXUALITIES LIKE GAYISM, LESBIANISM, BEASTIALISM AND INCEST TOO. undecided
