Whenever i reminisce on mistakes i made in my past, i feel very sad and filled with regrets, then i had a thought that why not work on making things better instead of worrying about it.
Using today as case study
I went to my college officer yestaday for my final clearance and found out i had missing scripts which is going to cost me about 60, 000 naira (20dollars) . I was so down because i was so broke and had no money to pay for it. I sat in a lonely place for several hours having different thoughts run through my mind. Then i saw @gbenga, he asked reason why i was down and i explained to him, He laughed at me and that made me really surprised. He asked me what solution have i found since i sat down to worry about it instead on thinking about it, and sincerely i did not a get a solution cause i was worried instead of thinking of a way to solve it.
The big advice
He moved closer to me and said "friend, worries never solve a problem, instead thinking of a solution does"
He took my account number and made a transfer of 10, 000 naira to my bank account and told me I should think of getting the remaining balance, and he left me there smiling as he walks with high self esteem.
The perfect solution
I stood up and gazed at him as he leaves and a thought struck my mind. I have a pc (laptop) worth around 100,000 naira, why not sell it and get a cheaper laptop, at least that will save me the stress of having extra year.
I went straight to my hostel and took the laptop, this pc has already became part of me, making me so pissed to trade it off, but its the most reasonable option i have for now.
When i got to trill house in ile-ife, osun state, nigeria, i was sk disappointed at the price been slamed on my laptop and after a long minute of argument and pleading, i was able to exchange the laptop for a smaller one and still collect extra 25, 000 naira, which will be paid first thing on monday morning.
I got home this evening very happy and relieved because i have already solve the problem i had, and at the same time i still have a good laptop.
When i was worried about the problem, solution wasn't in the picture, but immediately i start thinking of a solution to the problem, i had the perfect one.
Actually i typed this post with my new laptop
