What Advice Would You Give To Your Younger Self by Sirchiboy(op): 6:19am On Mar 02
Forget family and invest aggressively in yourself heavily.
You can help them when you are OK.
Never listen or take the advise of your parents especially your fair mother otherwise you will end up living a miserable life.
In summary take risk in your 20s.

As for me, I am still young, and I’ve realized that every mistake I made was a lesson that only made me stronger. If I could go back, I’d just give that version of me an encouraging hug and tell him, “Yakubu, manage”.

Do you ever take responsibility for your own life beyond blaming your fair-complexioned mother?

Unless you're doing ragebait, it's becoming pathetic.

On the topic:
1. Don't be antisocial when it comes to networking - you'll climb in career and personal development faster when you team up with likeminds - friendship is currency.

2. Stay closer to family, not just nuclear - also extended families especially if they have a platform where they ocassionally hang out.

3. Save money, it doesn't have to be alot, but enough to keep you balanced for minimum of 1year - it gives you options, that way you can quickly take some risky decisions related to personal/skill development which will always pay more than being stuck in one place because of living from paycheck to paycheck.

That every thingy with humans is mutual and expect returns.
Both of you need to put in the work.

The love, attention, skill, teaching, knowledge, affection, funds, contribution, overseeing, invest, maintenance is the effort of both parties.

In summary, nothing is free.
