Hello, everyone.

Welcome to my blog and another wonderful edition of the hive learners' featured post. Every human being possesses a gift from God. We all have that ability to do something or put something together without having to learn from anyone.
I doubt if there's anyone out there without a gift; every hand is naturally gifted. Our hands can do magic unless you do not put them to work. As a kid, I did a lot of things with my hands compared to now, when the struggle to make ends meet keeps coming in the way.
While growing up, I had this passion for fixing broken electronics. I badly wanted to know what was inside every electronic I set my eyes on. I was beaten by my dad on several occasions until he gave up and just let me be. Most of the time I open up a working electronic, I find it difficult to put it back together.
After a lot of trials with my dad's radio back then, I moved on to trying out our CD player, which was bad, and the end result was catastrophic as the CD player blew up the wall socket and every charger that was plugged into the wall socket. My dad's charger was among those that got blown. Long story made short, I had to take pain killers later that night.
I still did not give up trying to fix electronics. Even if I end up causing more damage, I'd rather cause the damage than not try at all.
Some years back, I carried out a project that got people in my neighborhood amazed. I was working on how to construct a radio using plied wood as the body and a copper wire as the antenna. As always, there will be people to make you feel discouraged. I had a friend that was always there to make me feel as if it was not going to work out well, but I kept trying, putting everything I could find together.
After so many failed attempts, I was able to achieve my aim. Neighbors gathered to watch me give it a try. The feeling I got that evening was heavenly. I already felt like the owner of LG. I can't imagine how the owners of these companies feel after a successful project.
Seeing me do all of these things is why my dad insisted I study engineering. My love for all this engineering stuff also made me love sci-fi movies as they are all science related.
