Is it little surprise that most people end up becoming great philosophers
despite not having a degree in one?
Well, experiences and choices sure affect the way we think. Thus, it seemed
only proper and needful to take a stab at some of the things people wished they
had done when much younger.
1.POOR TIME MANAGEMENT
Time they say is money. Just ask Dangote or B.gates. Who has ever looked
back at how much time they had spent on the couch and thinks, “time well
spent?” Time is precious and depending on how well you use it could make you
prosperous. Perhaps, you could have invented Facebook and not our dear friend,
Zuckerberg. If calculations were made at the end of our lives, some would have
actually lost half their time to sleeping, gisting, or even eating.
2.INVESTING IN A RELATIONSHIP
Relationships bring happiness as well as sadness. But have we ever thought
of how much hindrance it could bring especially when there is way too much
devotion to it? Investing too much time and effort to a relationship as opposed
to one’s career would ensure that you reap more from what you give the most
attention. If you try utilizing a quarter of the time you use in thinking of
your partner, you’d probably have become an inventor and more creative as well.
Always remember this: success has many friends and failure…none.
3.NOT GOING FOR YOUR PASSION
Watching the movie, 3Idiots would change your
perception on why you should go for your passion when choosing a course of
study in a tertiary institution. Most people later in life would regret
sacrificing what they enjoy doing for the salary they would received. As the
saying goes, “make your passion your profession and you would never have to
work a day in your life.”
4.SAVINGS
Most people would wish they were not a charitable ATM machine and a generous
central bank when they were much younger. You might have been richer than
Adenuga now if you had saved more, don’t you think?
5.HANDWORK
You probably won’t be that strapped for cash if you had a handwork you are
good at. Handwork like catering, fashion designing, barbing, photography, shit business
(yeah, shit biz …cos someone became a millionaire through it.),hair-dressing,
etc, weren’t appealing to you when you were a youth, but as one age, you start
to realize the importance of having something you are good at that no one can
take away from you.
6.MAKING THE RIGHT FRIENDS
Tell you what; one true friend is definitely worth more than a multitude of
acquaintances. Most simply would have wished they chose quality friends instead
of trying to win a popularity contest. Your success tomorrow may depend on the
kind of friend(s) you made yesterday.
7.KNOWING GOD EARLIER
This may look too religious, but the importance of God to mankind cannot be trivialized. Some might have been more successful, made less mistakes, or the
right choices if only they had encountered God earlier. The good news here is;
it’s never too late.
Henceforth, try everything possible not to do anything you will live to
regret again in life.
Wish you a beautiful and stress free week ahead.
