Welcome to my blog and another wonderful edition of the Hive Learners' featured post. Experience teaches better, but one should not wait to learn from experience; if experience teaches you a lesson, then you are left with regrets and pain. One should know how to go about things and not let chance or experience teach them a lesson.
We are all living on earth, but we all have different characters and different ways we attend to issues. There are people who learn from the advice of those around them, and there are people who wait to learn from experience. The truth is that the lives of many who waited to learn from experience were ruined, while some managed to come out of it stronger and better.
In the world we are living today, many people are waiting to learn from experience. We all know the end result of people who go into fraud in our country, but no doubt many newbies are recruited into the same thing daily, and many still want to be recruited because they feel it is the fastest way to get rich. They forget how those who were caught ended and won't learn from that; instead, they want to have their own experience.
Experience taught lessons. I will never forget it, both emotionally and financially. They say it is the best teacher, and I learned my lessons and moved on.
I have shared it before on Hive; sometime ago I was the king of Ponzi schemes. Some brought returns, while others carted away with the money invested. I was not deterred; every Ponzi scheme that surfaced, I was one of the first to hop on, as we were made to believe that those that joined the moving train early are more likely to benefit from it, while those that joined later are likely to lose their money.
I so much believed Ponzi schemes can make one rich. I had a friend who is older than me who never ceases to advise me to stay away from Ponzi, but I was strong-headed and believed the testimonies shared about the platform online. He shared his experience with me on how Ponzi dealt with him, but I just had that strong belief that Ponzi was surely going to pay big.
I gained admission, I parted ways with this friend of mine, and I was free from his disturbance. I had the freedom to go into Ponzi as much as I wanted without anyone disturbing me or making me feel bad. A new Ponzi scheme popped up, and I had no money on me that was spare at that time.
The starter package was quite expensive at N10,000 ($21.5), and all I had on me was money kept for my school textbook. The friend who brought this platform to my attention had a lot of good things to say about it; I was convinced and decided to use my textbook money to join the moving train.
I was supposed to wait for seven days before I could get some return, only for the platform to crash on the fifth day. I lost my textbook money and had nothing left; I learned my lesson the hard way. I was not allowed to submit the assignment twice for not having the textbook.
That's when I found the hive, and since then I have done away with anything that has to do with Ponzi schemes; whoever talks to me about Ponzi schemes does not get a positive response from me.
Thanks for reading my post.
