Second chance is something everyone always craved for, but not everyone has the grace of a second chance and this is because of the fact that opportunity comes once.
Having said this, another thing that I would like to talk about is regret. Regret is the outcome or result of a wrong decision taken by anyone. So, regret is what used to lead us to begging for a second chance in life.
Can regrets be avoided? Well, in my own view, the rate to which regrets can be avoided is slim as anyone that has taken a decision or is taking a decision has made mistakes or is prone to making mistakes in life, so as a result of this, regrets in my own view is unavoided.
Back to the topic of the prompt which is second chance, I would like to share my little experience about one of my wrong decisions and its aftermath which led me to begging for a second chance.
Some time ago, after my university education to be precise, I decided to invest all I had in me into a business which I had no idea of. So, immediately I finished from the university, I went home and on getting home, I saw a vacant shop and I rented it on enquiry about the shop from a house agent who collected 2 years rent plus his agency fee.
So, it's after this that I started making enquiries about the business properly. However, it's in the process of my enquiry about the foodstuff business that I got to know that the business was not meant for a soft hearted people like me, from the mouth of those people I enquired from who are also into the business, I was told that the business is not meant for someone who would not reject people buying on credit from him.
But instead of me quitting at that early stage of my inquiry, I decided to go on with my decision just because I didn't want to lose the agency fee to the agent who rented the shop out to me. Although he would have returned the rental fee to me, because of the 30k agency fee, I decided to carry on with the business which ended in a complete loss for me.
So, after the loss, I regretted not having harkened to the voice of those who were trying to put me through when I wanted to start the business, but the rest was history as I have made a wrong decision already, but in everything I learnt my lessons but in a hard way.
However, my prayer now is for a second chance where I would be able to right my wrongs by yielding to advice and exercising patience through learning before embarking on an unknown business.
Thanks for reading.
