My greatest mistake was not learning how to lie to people.

Keep lying to yourself Mr I Swear to God...

Being fat, striving to be the best in class (very unnecessary), being afraid or slaves of the sprititual/supernatural or pastors (I don't want their lives mortgaged).

Uzoelue1987:

Having just one citizenship till I was 35😩

Attending a Polytechnic instead of a University. After my OND, I had a fantastic job offer in a reputable company with chances of career growth. I gained ission for my HND a month later and I resigned from the job because of HND. I only realized what dichotomy meant after graduation. I had to restart my education as a 100 level student at a foreign university and will be graduating this year in my early 30s. Polytechnics/HND should be scrapped.

DrAda:
Being fat

Can you explain in detail, please?

Before sacrificing to make the best out of your family and closed ones, make sure you are putting more efforts to make the best of yourself first.

Children are not clays that you can mould to any shape you want, they are humans.

The only thing you can do is to sponsor their education or skills,nature which is the best teacher will do the rest.

Your time and that of your children are quite different, you will be surprised that they will not follow the path that you want them to follow.you just have to guide and pray for them.

55truth:
Let's discuss as a family, those mistakes you made that you later regret and you wouldn't want your children to make.

Mine was going to the university without learning a skill and solely hoping to land a good-paying job with the certificate after school. When "Nigeria" dawned on me, I realized I made a mistake by not fortifying myself with skills while going to school.

My children will not make such a mistake. If God approves, they will go into sports and entertainment from a tender age.

Let's learn from each other.

I didn't buy Binance token when my friend introduced it to me in 2017.

Being too NICE to the WRONG people.

If I could turn back the hands of time, I'll avoid certain people like a PLAGUE!

sonature1:


Next time, you should avoid the emboldened when making your sentence. It makes your grammatical syntax awkward.

Edited: Sometimes, these mistakes shape us to become better people.

Nice one .You could have explained the awkwardness.

OP already said 'these mistakes', no need referring to the mistakes again when he said 'are what', However, If it is for the purpose of emphasis, he could say, 'these mistakes are responsible for...'

Not getting into a high paying government agency or IOCs at a young age.

Microwhy:
That i can marry anybody irrespective of background or class.....
Any of my Boy that bring anyhow lady to my house as fiancee, will see anyhow from me in as much as I'm still alive.

Deceiving myself that Nigeria would get better 🤫

Learning a skill and taking unserious relationship serious

For me is to ensure my kids study good professional courses in school, not just to enter university, and spend money on a yeye course like I did.

dokyOloye:
Study medicine

what is so wrong with studying medicine

Going to the University, as a NIgerian, instead of looking

Space booked

Patosky4U:

N3TRAL:


Can you explain in detail, please?

I was overweight.

Obesity in children can persist into adulthood with attendant cardiovascular/metabolic disorders and cancers.

I don't want any of that for them.

As the last child, I grew up believing that my siblings will shape my future without me working hard to make a life for me. I depended on them. I learned my lesson at 40yrs+. I have repeatedly told my wife that my kids will start Learning skills from 10yrs. And I train them to be independent Minded in their early ages. They will never make the mistakes I made.

allow kids to have enough plays when young and that way they can hone their natural skills if any...there is nothing special about life so i'm gonna let them know and live it in a simple, sweet and carefree way without fear of failure or rejection and they should realize always that home is where help is if all else failed them and lastly the manipulation of how our brain trick us into becoming our own number 1 enemy..
