I consider myself to be very inexperienced with life. I am my own healthy/unhealthy critic and this has lead me to make quite a lot of progress and patch where I'm lagging. To many people, this progress is a very huge accomplishment, but in my eyes, I don't consider my progress as accomplishments.
This afternoon, I was talking with my godson, the Student Union President of Amachara College Of Nursing, Umuahia Abia state. He began to outline all my accomplishments both within his government, and in my career. I didn't know that someone was actually paying close surprise to my activities. He said it enthusiastically and wish he (in his words) has what I have. I don't think I have anything at all, but then, I just played along and tried to ease the hailing cause' it was becoming too much.
Nonetheless, looking back at what I did in 2025, I wouldn't say I accomplished anything, in fact, I did shitty things and I made lots of mistakes. I think I'm a mess but people think otherwise.
This year has been a very interesting one. Watching all my activities this year, I would say that it was quite an interesting year. I learnt quite a lot of things this year. I made money. I lost money. I had my life on the line. I made friends. I lost friends. I tried. I cried. I succeeded. I failed. In all these, I never totally gave up. Yes, I gave up, but I came back. That's life.
One of the most important lesson I learnt this year is that "life will always happen." Nothing lasts forever. I have to be mentally and emotionally ready to lose anyone and anything. Disappointment come, disappointment go, however, lessons remains. That doesn't mean I should show hostility to other people. It means that I should be wise enough to not allow myself be hurt as I was.
Humility open doors. Too much loyalty gets you used. It's good to be humble. This year taught me that humility is the best asset a growing person can ever have. It makes you loved. It makes you understood. And it brings many good things to your table, same as loyalty. However, not everyone deserves my loyalty, but everyone deserves my humility. The fact that I understood and show humility doesn't mean I should allow somebody to intentionally disrespect me.
He who is ready to trust somebody just be ready to bear the feeling of disappointment. This is another thing I learnt this year. Trust. I learnt not to trust easily. Even if there is proof that something or someone is trustable, I prefer not to put my trusts in an individual. I do trust people. But I don't fully trust anyone. Diverse experience taught me this. I'm ready for any disappointment, backstabbing, e.t.c and because of this, the level of which I'm hurt by people has reduced drastically.
Chase career, self development, and how to positively impact people, and finances will be added automatically. I was wrong when I used to chase money without actually developing my self to be worth more than I was worth. Integrity and discipline are another significant assets that can help a growing and a grown person in many (probably all) aspects of life. Consistency is key. Procrastination is bad for growth. I learnt many of these the hard way. But then, I'm glad I did.
Try not to always stand out in the presence of your bosses. I learnt to not outshine anyone, even my juniors, or seniors. I just live, do my things and hug my bed at the end of every day. This gives me more peace, less competitions and nobody sees me as a threat. I learnt this from another person's experience.
