I love the good things of life But...
I have never considered getting all I want on the expense of others
This is the major reason I started working (hustling) at a very early stage in life
LIFE AT EARLY AGE
I did my first odd job when I was in junior secondary School.... (Concrete mixing😁) It was that time in time when Young boys wanted to feel among and have some change in pocket
I joined as an assistant worker in constructing a veranda in my former compound...I and two of my other friends
We were young, ready and wanting to have it all
It was a back breaking job though, 1/3 of the money went for drugs and medication
Another part went for enjoyment (MYSELF AND FRIENDS)

And remaining went to my big Mom (Aunt)
WHAT WERE WE AFTER ?

Greener pasture ? Not sure it was !
We just wanted money but wanted it in a legitimate way
That very activity is one I can't forget as it instilled that confidence in me that even without my parents or family, I can actually do something and make money off it... But that's the just beginning
After that I was super eager to same as my guys
We started planning on the next possible Job hunt
MONEY AT AN EARLY AGE
This is not what any child should put eyes on
As it almost wanted to rewrite my mental programing
Imagine me planning of the next place to see a menial job to engage in...
As at that point I wasn't even caring if I should still focus more on school 😁
The Ambitious Young Soul... But I'll tell you the truth I was falling to the side of GREED, and being that GREEDY was against my own self
THE CORRECTOR
Even though I gave Big Mom (Aunt) a good amount from my first earning, she still never gave an approval that I should work for any reason
I can remember the very day I approached her that I want to do some odd jobs 🤐,
The look alone on her face would tell I'm setting up the fire for the very soup I'm in
She warned me seriously and told me that should be the last time she should ever hear such from me
THIS IS MY BIG MUMMY👆
DID I HEED TO WARNING?
Of course I had no choice than to
Else it will be fire for fire for me
But she wants the best for me, though I realised later
FINAL WORDS
Being Ambitious at the wrong age and time can lead to being Greedy
Because the need to continually have more will always creep in... Especially for those young scholars who want Pennies so badly
I'll advise you don't for any reason Don't allow your child work if they are still at a tender age (Below Adult)
It can provide for them for the short term
But majority will be caught with the taste for more and in the end abandon the key things of Life
Give them the best advice and education about money and it's use
And I bet they'll continually thank you later
The time when they will hustle will surely come and they will even get tired of it (RESPONSIBILITY NEVER
At the point we'll pause it for another day
Thank you for coming thus far
