Question of the day (My answer)

Though yesterday was great because of how everything was planned out. I got home later in the evening and started engaging in the little I could do online. First of all, I went to make some noise as I got the notification that I should use my free tip to get more. I started giving it out and stumbled on @Olasquare article and then went to read.cash to get the full gist. I had wanted to write my comment on his post because as I was reading through, I started having what to write on but when I saw he wanted to read post more about the question, I had to retreat back my comment for a post. Here is the question he asked; **"Would You Take 10 Million Naira ($18,000) Now or Go Back In Time To When You Were Younger But With Your Experience Intact?"** Source https://read.cash/@Olasquare/question-of-the-day-513fb67d Sincerely, if we had to look at it especially seeing how huge the money is, we would want to go for former and ignore the latter. But money without an experience or wisdom on how to spend it is useless. Of course, many would be wise to choose the money and invest on tangible businesses that will yield profits at the end of the day but to tell you the truth, many of us have regretted our past actions and we desperately want the clock to rewind back to the past so you can grab the opportunity and retrace your steps. Isn't it? Now, to my answer, I will want to choose going back in time to when I was younger but with the experience I have gotten now. There is still a chance to go with the experience I have accumulated. Let's take for instance, I want to go back to year 2010 when I was Sixteen Years old. This was the time Bitcoin was at $0.09. The experience I have now is getting to know about Cryptocurrency and when Bitcoin was introduced. At that time, I would try my best to purchase many Bitcoin with my savings and keep Hodling which will eventually turn me into a millionaire. Truthfully, it is still hurting me today that I missed such opportunity and so, giving me the chance to go back in time to when I was younger would give me the opportunity to grab my moment and become perhaps the next billionaire lady in the world. Another scenario is going back in time to sit for Post Utme to gain admission into University of Ilorin my choice of institution because with the experience I have, I would work towards getting an higher mark so as to gain the admission I needed to enter the University. It was 4 points that disqualified me from gaining admission then. Perhaps resitting for the exam would have given me that pass entrance. Then the last one is that I would like to go back in time to start all over again from Junior Secondary School down to Senior Secondary School so I can focus and be serious with my studies. I know with my experience with me, I would clear my WAEC at once and be the best student on scholarship. I missed the scholarship opportunity in the past even though my parent were hurt. I want to go back to retrace my steps and make them proud of me. I hope I have been able to answer this question, Ola? We all have made wrong moves in the past due to different influences in one way or the other and remembering them would want to make us go back to change many things but just as the hand of the clock keeps ticking and never turns back, so is our past. We can only learn from them and work towards making it right in the present so as to have another bright opportunity in the future. Take along this quote with you: "You must also forgive yourself. You must forgive yourself for any past mistakes and failures that you cannot forget." **- Laura Aranda** So, do not be hurt not to forgive yourself. The past is like being unconscious but now that you are conscious, be careful of your actions so as not to repeat same mistakes you made in the past. Thanks for reading |December 14, 2021|

Good choice sis, as i want to go back from the past too
Thank you 😊
I like your answer princess. It's better to go back to the past since it's useless if you use the current without an enough learnings with the experiences. It's time to make it right so that your future will be in a good image. Yes princess, a lot of regrets about the past. There are a lot of opportunities been wasted so if I will given a chance to go back, I will take the opportunities and treasure it then make it productive.
Yea, I wish this is real. I would definitely choose going back to the past to make amends and be the best with my experience. Thank you 😊
Yes princess me too. You're always welcome princess.
The truth of the matter is that whether or not we like it, our readiness at that time of being relatively young would not allow us make the right decisions with the huge money that is more than enough to buy us with all our needs in life. I wont even think about investing The money let alone buying the so called bitcoin with it and that is exactly what most of us here will do that is the real truth my dear
Hmm, from a beautiful perspective. That means everyone would go for the money instead. Lol
A lot of regrets in deed. Like opportunities to make money that I had missed. How I would have done differently in exams and have had better grades. I'd have hundreds of million right now
We all have many past mistakes that we want to go back to retrace our steps.
Seriously we might have made lots of wrong moves in the past but if I would answer the question, I think I'll prefer to take back the money. Going back is not an option for me cos I know that no matter how much I've known, as a human I'm still bound to make mistakes that might be detrimental to my life. I should keep pressing forward. But your points are awesome as well.
Beautiful comment which I agree with you. Thank you Ada!
Going to the past would be great since i've missed alot of opportunities so I'll have another chance to make good use of any given opportunity.
That is good.
I think I wouldn't want to go back
Why wouldn't you want to go back? 🧐🧐 You like money😁
I would definitely go back also, imagine going back 10 Years from now, that means I would be 11 year old and having this kind of experience would help me alot, imagine the example you gave about crypto I would definitely be a billionaire
Thank you for agreeing with me too. At least we have the experience to make things right from the past.
I would go back my past and re-correct everything from the core. Most my accident at childhood. It's still affecting me
Most of us would want to do that because we are regretting those mistakes in the past.
I will go for present because I don't have good memories from the past. We maybe not realized the opportunity before but we can still develop it now.
Hehehe! I understand you 😊
If I had the opportunity, I will pick the money. There's a whole lot of things I can do with it. I wouldn't go back in time to change my past, it was what built me.
Perhaps the money would change a lot of things for you from the past. It's good though.
My dear, I guess a tender age with too much money in your pockets won't rather make you spend drift but rather lavishing in spending and that's because you are relatively too young to handle such an amount of money which seems very heavy or have you forgotten that money intoxicates the same way power does?
At least when i buy Bitcoin at that lesser price, by the time it goes up just the way it did, I would have grown up to understand how to manage and spend money especially knowing fully well I need it for school and other things. Lol
If only we could go back..why not.. I will surely purchase more BTC 🤣 and in 2019 when BCH was first introduced in the market
You are right. Btc would have saved many of us if we had known and bought it then.
After reading this, I'm now convinced of what I'd go for, which is the latter☺️
😊😊 that's great Queen.
So you choosed to go back with current experience, to overcome the mistakes you committed in past. Seriously we would be holding a huge money if we had focused on Bitcoin before.
Exactly! It would have been the greatest Opportunity to own Bitcoin then
Hmmm, like this is wisdom, what you said it nothing but the Truth, while reading this, me too I began to flash back to the past and I wish I could turn back the hands of clock, but not possible. You've say it all in the last paragraph, the mistake have been done already, but we don't have to allow that to hold us back from bringing out the best in us from what we are doing now.
Exactly. Even when we have committed mistakes in the past, that shouldn't define us today instead let's learn from it and become the best. Thank you 😊
That's why I'm always trying hard not to repeat those mistake again. I don't want to be defined with my past. I believe there are more to achieve in the long run.
I would definitely go back to the past and buy more bitcoins, because in the future I will no longer be worrying about getting some money hahahha I guess going back to the past makes me even more wiser because we've already learned something from our past mistakes
apparently the problem that is becoming an obstacle for me right now is that I haven't forgiven myself.
