syntekelite: Poco f3 battery wey don swell as i dey type so, didnt notice till the back case started coming off thought it was the gum used to glue i just pressed it back to close after some weeks it came off again thats when i realised it might be the battery pushing the back case back out, so so disappointed esp with the hype that followed the phone and the price, dont even game at all on the phone imagine if it were heavy gamers using it... Am going for the latest samsung next never again will i go for all these phones with their specs crammed with shitty battery that cant handle it.
Serious I play games on mine heavily and it's still good. Sorry about that but my battery is good and it charges fast also
Acidosis: Seeing the number 33 sends shivers down my spine again. I lost my wife hours after childbirth some 33 days ago. She was 33 when she passed. Big dreams, big things we both planned all seem like they're over, right? But really, they are not. She lived a purposeful life. I'm mourning, ignoring the many "if" and "what if" scenarios—the thoughts won't stop coming if you allow them—and finding the courage to take care of two newborn babies. My point? Don't be too hard on yourself. Embrace the challenges and learn to recognise the blessings. All will be well and, more importantly, remember that good or bad, fast or slow, everything will come to an end someday. Make that a reality check.
Honestly I used to feel the same, but one thing i have learnt as a man, complaining changes nothing, I never acknowledge down times, I just sleep it off and think about how to move forward.
The reason why I say so is because, I allowed that negative thinking to affect me that it threw me into drugs and alcohol to cope, because what you will realize that as a guy, almost no one comes to your support, You have to be intentional about keeping a network of support to be able to make it.
Sometimes that's just how life is, some are born into poverty with no escape.
Only thing I can say is try and create as much value, so you can be of use to others with means.
Senior man. Thanks for all the valuable content you post. I just discovered your YouTube channel, and you're an inspiration to many of us
I have a question.
You've been successful on Upwork. If you were to summarize it, what are FIVE things you did that helped get you to the point where you have offers coming at you rather than applying?
Thanks.
1. Consistency I've been on Upwork since it was odes, it's just recently I started getting traction. 2. Profile optimization, I bought a course from RemoteOliver on Twitter it was like 4 usd, you have to clean up your profile. 3. Portfolio matters alot, the better your portfolio, the higher your chances. 4. Niche skill, no point finding gigs with the only skill you know, you have to upskill 5. Good communication and over delivering, once I take up a project, I usually handle the direction myself without requiring input from the owner
Upwork has been consistent for me, this week I'm entering like 1k$ once they pay, but sometimes some clients do ghost, but I've gotten full-time clients from it, that I work it, I'm very good with my niche
SourYoghurt: thank you boss, I just took out the amount that'll be able to sustain me till next month, everything is stuck in my GEEGPAY account.
I'm still building, it's what I do 40% of the time. I have another Zoom call with one guy, tomorrow. Then, there's this Indian startup offering me 5000 INR but the offer is similar to a part-time offer. But again, I'm concerned about the fact that I am starting my career with remote companies, I am honestly wanted another offer in Nigeria too, at least let my past experience be a local company peradventure I want to apply to a Nigerian company so it doesn't seem like I'd be getting: " he'd not be able to cope with our work environment".
Personally Nigerian work pay doesn't pay much, I made my yearly Nigerian pay in a year in months from remote and Upwork, it means I can fast track my life.
Nothing like career life anymore it's all about money earned quickly
