If You Are 35years You Should Have Realize These by Ochyes(op): 10:15pm On Jun 06, 2024
1. Stay silent. Not everything needs to be said.
Silence is better than unnecessary drama.

2. If you find someone smarter than you, work with them, don't compete. Competition is a weakness.

3. The family you create is more important than the family you come from.

4. Your current job doesn't care about you. They only pay you enough to kill your dreams.

5. Free yourself from society's advice, most of them have no idea of what they're doing.

6. Influence: Most people drift through life. They have no purpose, no direction, and zero intent. Learn their needs. Lead them.

7. You are what you think, what you eat, what you read, the visuals/audio materials you consume and those you associate with.

8. It's better to have 1 friend who's;

Happy for you
Supports your win
Encourage your dreams
Than a bunch of acquittances who are

Lazy
Self-centered
Jealous of your success

9. You'll be 10x happier if you forgive your parents and stop blaming them.

10. No one will ever come save you. Your life is 100% your responsibility.

11.Your inner circle should be more focused on money, success, and starting a family.

12.You don't need 100 self-help books. All you need is actions and self-discipline.

Believe in your heart and soul that you are capable of big things in your life.

The only thing that is standing in your way is yourself.

Remove your glass ceiling.

...buh, no one has ever done it alone.

It means one has to take the initiative .

I have a cousin of about the same age. While he was waiting for one uncle to help him, I was making small small moves to better myself...and I was lucky to have one or two friends and even strangers at every stage that lent a helping hand.

Well, Uncle disappoint and after twenty five years they are now blaming him for not trying to improve himself.

Till date that nasty " come and save me mindset " is still in him and I am the new Messiah. Person wey senior me ooo go dey call me "baba".

I had to ignore a message he sent some months back saying I am the only one who can help him.

This man was told to go learn any digital skill wey your brain go fit carry. ( There are hundreds of them) no be everything be programming.

I will pay for the training and certification so you can compete on the global scene and earn in dollars. Na lie na motor him wan make I buy for am to dey do Uber. If motor spoil or police or Lastma impound the car for traffic offense, na me you go still dey call to come repair or bail the motor.

Learn something wey go make you independent of everybody,and go dey useful for you for life na lie.

That mindset is deadly. No one is coming to save you for real. Move in the directions of your dreams no matter how small the steps are and God will send helpers your way who will not even remember that they helped you self.

I don see for plenty things for this life and with a huge sense of responsibility I dey teach young ones wey one listen how to navigate.

Some younger Nigerians wey dey reach out to me as per bros for adugbo levels, I dey tell go learn any certification, I will pay for the tuition and the certification exams and provide logistical support in the background for you to play on the global scene...in a couple of years this is how much you top money you can earn as you still dey young.

Na lie...na who go give them money to flex for Christmas and easter dem dey find. Dey will be cooking different format to collect money from you as if no be the same Lagos dem born all of us

What you narrated is absolute uselessness.



That's not what I'm talking about.




I have witnessed a guy with wife and two kids struggling but determined in his place of work as an employee in a construction company.

One big client saw him and his efforts and decided to take him as a partner because of his experience. The guy basically run the new company and the big client is just based on return. The client took a loan of N500m to push the business - it wasn't up to 6 months that the money was regained and returned.

The guy right now is a mad multimillionaire and the client too is richer and never regretted his investment on the young man.

That's the way things ought to be. Some people are addicted to handouts.

As we speak an old school mate sent me a voice note demanding my number and that I have to have mercy on him as other school mates from way back were having mercy on him.

Another one is expecting me to pay his visa application fee...because he is my friend. This is someone who plays music at gigs and makes money every weekend. So i will send invitation , fill the application online for him online myself and still pay application fee for him myself.

Well sha, I am a changed man now and learning to just say simple no to or just ignore unreasonable requests.

I don't agree with number 3. Family is family, there's no difference.
A stranger in the street can become a better brother to you than your own biological brother.

No 3 is not advising you to dump or forget your family. It is suggesting you deliberately cultivate relationship with people who have the special character and qualities to do for you what your father, brother, Sister, Uncle etal should do.

Even though I understand what you mean by No.10,


...buh, no one has ever done it alone.

Number 10 is a direct opposite of what is obtainable in Nigeria.

Here in Nigeria, you will rarely make it by doing it alone.
You need helps, prayers and connections to be successful or to get out of trouble.

If you think you can handle your problems alone, the problem may consume you.
It all boils down to the volume of issues you have and the calibre of people you meet for help.

That's because Nigeria is not a normal nation. Number 10 on the list works in most nations of the world.

What if his brain cannot carry IT or digital skills. Why not support him in another area, maybe trade skill, or handwork. You don't force your desire on someone.

You can aswell get the car on hire purchase arrangement (indirectly though someone else but you'll be involved) for him and warn him to take the offer serious.
