Happy birthday sir. More winning years ahead

Telltruth123:
Thank you very much sir, I really appreciate your input.

Well, congratulations and welcome to the club. You will discover there is a lot more life to be lived after 40. I am 41. I joined Nairaland with my first handle as a 25 year old circa 2007. How time flies.

Congratulations ma'am. It is not easy to reach 4 score age wise.

You have really come along way and most importantly you had kids to show for your journey so far.

Though not close to your age, but life has also happened to most of us. Being responsible (ability to cater for my needs in my little way and little support other there) is only possible for me approximately 3 years ago. Before then, it was total struggle and brokeness. Not there yet, but now is better than the previous few decades of my life.

I still thank God for gift of life and good health over all of us. Hopefully, to get settled down with partner with positive outlook to future without being too materialistic.

40 is not 4 scores, please.
4 scores is 80years, because each score is 20 years.
So, 40years is just 2 scores.

Firstly, I am a woman and a graduate of Accounting. I am married with children.
The goal I set for myself is to have my own business and stop salary work by the time I reach 40 years but I could not achieve it because of the following reasons:
1. Underemployment- my salary hardly cover transport and feeding despite my effort to get better job, it is just a little bit better.

2. Marriage Challenges: husband marring additional two wifes when we are still struggling in a rented apartment and me carrying the major expenses, the other wifes have left him, they couldn't endure. When I try to take a break at my parents house, my mummy would come out of the house and disgrace me Infront of the house, I had to go back and endure.

3 No parental Support - even before I got married what my parents were interested is my salary and immediately I got married,they left me with my faith.
4. Closest people I entrusted with the little money I saved doing business with them swindled my money I did not recover a penny .I had to start from scratch.
By the grace of God, I don't have any health challenges.

What I have learned are as follows:
1. Be close to GOD, HE is the director of the universe.
2. Trust no one, your parents can disappoint you, your partner can disappoint you, anybody close to you can disappoint you.

3. Immediately you start work, cultivate the habit of saving so that you will have something to fall back on, as a salary earner save before spending and learn the skill of business because the income is unlimited.

4. Don't do pass your self, nobody cares . don't give yourself unnecessary pressure.
5 Only you can make yourself happy.

I think with the little I have mentioned, I have been able to contribute something.
Thank you.

Congratulations Madam on your new age!

I like the fact that you said, no one cares, in reality, no one truly cares.

I am close to 39, and life has taught me lessons too.

1. Marriage can make or mar you.
2. Your employers don't really care about you, so think self first. I am happy I realised this three years ago, and have written some wrongs after 13 years of working.
3. You are on your own in this life, no one cares about you.
4. I also realised this late in life, I use to sing it but didn't realise the meaning " Tick says the clock, tick! tick!"

ChybuzzDD:
40 is not 4 scores, please.
4 scores is 80years, because each score is 20 years.
So, 40years is just 2 scores.

Ohhh, Thanks for the correction bro.

Always taught it was 10 years per each score (biblical way of age calculation)

Duly noted.

Happy birthday to you. God bless you.
Please take a retrospect and evaluate the journey so far. Be intentional about your growth and development, be more patient with people, aim to get more streams of income. If you have the opportunity, travel out of the country for vacation, focus on your family more and above all, remember God.

As an adult you are responsible for your achievement in life. Focus on physical, spiritual, mental and emotional aspects of life
Cheers

Welcome to the 4th floor

Happy birthday bro,longlife and prosperity In Jesus name. You are going higher in good health and wealth.

Congratulations and happy birthday to you

incogni2o:
Happy Birthday.

Long life and prosperity.

40, wao, must be really scary.

I think instead of saying I'm forty years old, it's cool to say "I'm playing at level forty",

which signifies the tenacity of the player, to still thrive in such a hard mode the younging ain't sure they will teach.

So my guy, happy birthday man, hopefully you qualify to level fifty and beyond, and tell us how to reach such high level without being eliminated along the way.
