I'm 27 this year.

I've always been a bright kid from my childhood. But since I turned 16, I gave into vices, stealing, fighting, alcoholism and different sexual acts.

I wasted my years. I could have learned online skills or even real life skills.

I just started learning digital marketing. How can I make up for all this lost time??

Just why me!!

Just tell yourself that's it's time to stop and be a different person. It's simple as that.

You just starting like bro..
I was very close to my 30s before I started to figure shit out for real infact let me very honest with you even at age 60 most of us haven't even figured out life yet or what to do..

In summary we learn about life and experiences as we go along. One thing you should have in mind is you are even lucky you are able to see and feel the off balance in your life this shows you vibrate at a high frequency but you haven't yet found the band for flow with.

All I will advice you is wakeup everyday and set your goal and put a minimum of 1hr daily learning new skills.

Now I won't say digital marketing is a bad idea but just think with me for a second AI is taking over the marketing industry and it's all well automated and I have been to many seminars and I can tell you this in 5 years time, digital marketing skills is a bye bye.(My opinion)

I stared learning more about cinimatography and 3D modelling and game design. Soon I hope to create magic with these take a look at it from this perspective we have all kind of games made from all part of the world stores of legend stories of other countries epic games for that matter but I haven't heard of a game like any game made about nigeria or africa infact our movie industry is lacking so that's where i will be coming in soon.

All you need is study hard real good what alligngs with your area of specialty and make something epic and marketable that 80% of individual appreciate and you golden.

I hope this helps... Just FYI, you no failure na Nigeria confined us to some certain conditions

Your last sentence is your biggest problem. It means not taking ability for yourself and a reflection of your state of mind.

You're on track, since you've figured out your mistakes

27 is still young no rush in life

Skooltynz:
27 is still young no rush in life

not young, 27 is 3 years shy of 30.

Sp1ritHusband:


not young, 27 is 3 years shy of 30.

Everybody cannot be successful before 30, Asake is almost 40 before he blew in ybnl be has being singing since his teens,Putin was a nobody at the age of 37 today he is one of the most powerful man on earth I can list more work hard to be successful but giving yourself age target for success is the fastest route to depression and mental breakdown.

I agree with you but never tell someone 27 is young as that is factually incorrect.

I am not saying he is too young,I meant to say he shouldn't rush life everything will fall in place in its time

Wrong advise again.

You should rush life or life will you by. It is a matter of life and death for me.

Don't die before you time mister live fast die young is real,if its not yet your time no go short your life, all these things we are fighting to have in life will still not guarantee happiness and fulfillment where is ifeanyi ubah today,where is akeredolu you can make all the money and die the next year life gat no straight rule.

My advice do all you have to do now,work hard but know the reward comes from God.

It is ok to be poor if you are content with such position. People like us are on the fast lane I do not fear death. Op is complaining of wasting his life, meaning he wanted more out of this life.

I will rather not have life than to live in penury. There are some lives not worth living reason I am on the fast lane.

How can you be 27 and say your life is wasted?

Life wey never start.

Sp1ritHusband:

Bro, 27 is absolutely very young to steer back to track.

One of the factors considered for good prognosis in psychiatry is self-awareness / insight.
My parents would say the best advice one can get is the one they give to themself.

You’re still on a pathway of great possibilities, to know it’s time to make a U-turn.
The beautiful thing about such stage is you follow up subsequent pursuits with zeal and determination.

I will only tell you that you will be tried many times, and tempted to go back; but don’t give in.

About the time lost, are you the keeper of your time?
Comparison is the thief of joy.

Stay your own lane and do your own thing.

The race now is a race against your former self.

May the Almighty grant you grace for speed. 🙏

Karleb:

Life wey never start.

He don too see “young pablos” dem, so his mind is being conditioned to think everyone kicks off at 25.

While starting out early is good, we all have to understand and accept the reality that we all can’t have it so early, perfect and fast as we want it.

That gives us some level of sanity and control against the storms of life.

Disappointments come in direct proportion to expectations.

Can you direct me to some materials you're getting your game design learning from?

Would you be rather be rich today and have only just few years to enjoy your wealth than to wait till nature decide his full course.

SINisSIN:
Can you direct me to some materials you're getting your game design learning from?

Yes sure I can very much do that.

But I will advice you first thing first you need a good computer if you ain't got one then it's going to be complicated.

If you have a good computer, in my case I saved every penny I could put my hands on for long and I bought a new Dell XPS15 core I9.

Now after you get a good computer with good graphics card and good processor.
You will need to start with your budget.

So I understand easy open source software

Blender 3D
Unity game engine
Davinch resolve

And maybe a good knowledge of Photoshop and substance painter will do.

Now for references to learn I mostly use u-tube for a start and after I was good with how the software works then I go to use my and for free courses there on my field (you can learn a lot from YouTube and udemy.com).

But it all takes time and patience and if you able to put in 3 to 4 years of training experience, and you get good at it. Na companies go dey beg you to come work for them..


Infact if you can even just learn blender for just the sole purpose of product visualization, you good to go.

Sp1ritHusband:


Wrong advise again.

You should rush life or life will you by. It is a matter of life and death for me.

You can never be at time no matter how fast you move.
You just have to be focused on what you want and ride towards it and if the wave gets strong, you flow with the waves.

But you saying chap chap is wrong I know time waits for no man. But you can rush things
In summary, when you want to boil water, when you put the pot of water in the stove dose it start boiling immediately?
Answer is now it boils with the process of the heat.
So let the boy cook and watch him cook and when the food is ready, those who like the taste of his food will always be back to eat more.

So bros as long as you get plan stay focused and find way to your goals in life.

Much appreciated. Is Hp core i5 good for a start?

And what have you done by yourself on your own to try and shift from that present staggering state that you are?

There are two mentality thinking to success in life and I don't think you on the right let from what you saying and I can see from your words you haven't clocked 39 yet so I guess you still new to life.

Baronthecelebri:

That won't help honestly you will be setting yourself 100% back

Goodnewsforlife:
well done sir

Nigerians and soccerand celebrity and their fixing age .
If you even look awake face u go know say him don clock close 40 but we Nigerians we like to tweak our age.

SINisSIN:

Oh yes it will just fine. But the only down side is it will take a little more time to do its computations and stuff so it might lag a few seconds but it will work perfectly fine...

Just hop on to YouTube academy and learn blender first and thank me later. I can shoot you some channels of some YouTubebers to watch their videos to learn because when I first started I just watch everything without a curriculum but after hundreds of videos, I was able to get the right channels to learn directly from easy and well scripted
Bro if you are able to use blender to atleaste 78% efficiency you will be making big bucks in millions monthly no cap.
