How Old Were You When Your Life Started?

By Johnspeak Uwangue (Human Development Consultant, Talent Manager and Coach)

Real life doesn't start at birth, it starts at a particular point in our life. At that point, you will know deep down that your life has began. Abraham's life started at 65, when did yours start? I grew up with my parents and I depended solely on them for my needs even after my university. At a time, I noticed that I was always angry at them for some things that weren't right. It got to a point that I told myself "Johnspeak, how can you be under the roof of your parents and being their responsibility and still be dictating to them how to live their lives?" That day was a day I will never forget because that day prepared me for the man I am today.

At the age of 29, I carried everything I had and went into the street like the biblical Abraham. If you are still living with your parents at old age or if your parents are still responsible for your rent, your life has not started. I will say that my life started at the age of 29 because I started taking responsibility for my life at that age. Some people's lives started at a very young age while for some others life has not started. Marriage or giving birth doesn't make you a man or woman, it's taking responsibility for your life that makes you one. An irresponsible man or woman will always depend on people or institutions to survive. I don't care how old you are, if you still depend on a sibling or boyfriend or parents to survive or make decisions, your life hasn't started yet. So, let's share our experiences because I believe that there's someone out there who needs to grow and stop living a life of dependence.

Succeed You Must.

Even dad is proud of me now.

Wow, I'm touched. Did you go back home?

if u are from Nigeria your Time start the day they gave birth to you.. most especially if you are from a poor background... From stealing of meat in d pot and not get caught is a sign of you getting it right. Rolling of dice, playing whot just to eat something good at break time. helping the lazy ones to write there note nd get payed..

At 7 years, I remembered the positive turn around for good that particular day vividly.
Thank you Jesus for life.
Higher and Higher we go in life.....

While I cannot be specific with a date, I will say my life started when I decided that I want to be an entrepreneur. I was at the University at the time. Although I have worked in three employed jobs, I resigned to pursue my passion of being an entrepreneur. This year, I am part of a startup. Our first product is Q and A App - A mobile App for sourcing Job Test, Scholarship, Professional Exams Questions and Answers and Career Resources. It is available for Download on Google Playstore. Kindly download the App and contribute to the growth of our startup.

My life started at 16 been paying my rent since then, am am 22 a proud blogger..

I don't think my life has started yet. I think i am still in preparatory phase.

But the beginning of the preparatory phase started for me the year my dad died which was phase one, the second and more important phase was the year i met the Creator.

@op, when I saw the topic on FP I had something else in mind...


But with what is on your writeup,


most Nigerians especially youths are still in the foetus level....

Mine started at 21 with affiliate at school hostels and campus.
Did a lot of marketing and online affiliate and I am still into it as can be seen in my SIGNATURE.

At 24 i steped out of my comfort zone to get a job far from what i was studying and the Career path i loved
Started contributing to my education
26 after graduating from the university
I move to my own apartment (rented)

At 22 immediately I finished school, left my parents and family in lagos and now in Kano doing business and paying my rent.

Thinking.. .

My life started the day I lost my dad.

I was exposed to real family politics..

After NYSC.
It was this time all freebies stopped from home and so I have been in charge since then not easy being a man!

The day i put dick inside a very wet pussy and i saw how sweet it was...How many years ago now sef?
