Question of the day (My answer)

As you all know, Monday is always another busy day for me which runs through Wednesday before calling it a day for the week's lecture again. 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

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
