Good post @op:

> My regrets:

- Not being more outgoing and believing an FG job would just land on my lap. (Imagine a driver in my neck of the woods, had to involve an lg chairman just to get a job with fuor point.
- Betting.
- Not taking enough calculated risks.
- Indulging in alcohol. (Imagine blackbullet is now over 2k for one and a bottle of origin around 3500/4000) I guess I know why it's called spirit now.
- Not upskilling when the opportunity arose.
- SIMPing in my early age etc...

My only regret is i don't have regrets
Re: To All Men Between 30-40, Name One Mistake You Have Made In Your Life . by richiemcgold:
My insistence on reading Law in my early 20s. I was already a 200L Edu student but I decided to drop out so as to pursue a Law degree in another institution. Both my parents and a very close friend advised me against the decision but I was too stubborn. I regret it till today.

Also in 2016, I had enough money to japa but I decided to set up a private business. I thought Nigeria's economy will be better. Although the business is very much alive today, I regret not investing the money to japa to the US.

Haaaaa! It is a multimillion naira investment o. Machineries are very expensive. For instance, a foreign used kord offset machine is currently over N10million and we have 2 sets in my press. Price of printing papers too are well above the roof. You should be looking at a budget of 5million+ to set up a small scale commercial printing press.

Meeting a wrong lady at the right place at the right time

Wrong in the sense of "mamiwotally" deadly

Not being a Christian in my 20s.
Following the wrong crowd of womanizers

I realized this fact late:

At 20s.... What will people say

At 30s..... I won't let what people say bother me much

Now at 40.... I realized it's all in my head, people are not saying anything because whatever they said about you yesterday, they have forgotten about it today and start saying another thing. So whatever they say is very inconsequential and should never let you loose your focus!

angry

Well, to every action there is a reaction.

Not everyone will be millionaires at 20 or at 30 nor 40.

Same as not everyone will live to 50.

Their is no manual for life, so focus on fulfilling you and forget about conforming to societal standards, pressure or view of a fulfilled life.


No one else will live a fulfilled life for you, it is yours to live, enjoy, build and experience.

Don't be a slave to people's opinion, yes!!

Don't regret anything, appreciate that you still have breadth in your nostrils and focus on the opportunities ahead of you.



Good morning
