Some opportunities come but once... Use every opportunity wisely.
Money can't buy happiness but it can buy a mansion, Lambo, and other luxuries of life, and with my experience in life, it is better to be sad in a mansion than to be in a poor house where you are unhappy and mosquitoes won't let you grieve in peace.

Some will say life is short and they want to enjoy it to the fullest before they die, they start lavishing their resources, they spend more than they grow, and they forget that life is only short for the wealthy ones, for someone who is suffering a day is a century.
When I was a teenager, there was a relative of mine who was doing well for himself, he was earning well but he didn't plan for his future, all the money he earned was spent on liabilities like clothes, films, and other things that make life comfortable, he was enjoying his life thinking it would be that way forever but it was not long before he sees the other side of life.
He lost his job and that was the beginning of his problem, within a short period, he exhausted the little savings he had, and getting a better job was difficult for him so he had to settle for low pay and eventually, he started his own business but there was not enough capital to start something big, this made him regretted the money he wasted on irrelevant things, the millions that went down the drain while he was enjoying life if he knew this was how things were going to turn out, he would have poured those millions on a good business that would have doubled the money for him.
Unfortunately for him, he never had such an opportunity again and he still hopes one day, God will show mercy on him and remember him again and this time he will use his opportunity wisely. I hope my readers can pray for him that God should show him mercy because till now he is still hoping on God.

Many people like him misuse their life opportunities, my advice for the coming generation is to always think about the future... it is your present actions that will determine how your future will be... If you are focused on gambling, womanizing, drinking, and going to different parties now, do not blame God when your peer who focused on building himself, saves money, ventures into businesses becomes rich in the future and you remain stagnant, everyone will get what they deserve...
Do not be a victim of peer pressure, there is more beyond what people are showing you, do not spend your life trying to impress people who don't care about your existence, you want to buy the latest wear, use the newest phone, drive the trending car because you see others doing it, we are all humans but our pocket is not the same, some were lucky to be born in a rich family so they would have all those things easily while others paved a way for themselves but you that is still trying to grow want to be like them? rather than hustle like them... It is not bad to imitate others but go for the good part that will boost your growth....
Always remember, some opportunities come but once... Use every opportunity wisely.

The importance of making every opportunity count can never be overemphasized, we don't know how many will come out ways so we should ultilise the ones we see wisely.
Imagine the case of this person you shared now, we don't know what the future holds, pleasure will only last for the money, but doing the right thing will an opportunity will last a lifetime, I wish he knew this before he squandered his.
honestly, there are many people on this table but they never learn until they experience the other side of life...

Money is like a visitor. If it ever gets to visit us, we should spend it well and also use that time well.
This is why we see that so many yahoo boys go back to zero after a short while…
This is a good example, most yahoo boys misuse the funds they get since they didn't work hard for it and hence they return to the street after spending all.
I agree totally bro, I'd rather be sad in my Bugatti than fake happiness in a broke household. Hahahaha. Money can be fleeting. Using it wisely is important. That story about your relative is a good lesson on seizing opportunities.
lol abi na... life is vanity but we need to choose our vanity wisely
Absolutely brother would love the luxury vanity hehehe
I learnt the hard way, misusing opportunities is something one will live to regret for a very long time.
yea no doubt
