I think the first rule that we should be mandated to take and believe is…
Things don’t always go as planned
In life
In relationship
In business
In school
Etc.
And we should be made to understand that life isn’t rosy.
Because merely talking to someone yesterday…
I knew this one isn’t giving space for contingencies.
Fine, it’s good to be positive and we should always think of good things ahead.
But since you have been born…
Has everything been working the way you wanted?
Are you presently studying the course you planned to study?
Are you staying in the country you planned to stay?
Are you spending the way you planned to spend?
Etc.
We should always give room for flexibility.
Things dey occur.
And no be all of them dey favor human.
So if I see a freelancer promising heaven and earth for a client.
I just laughed because this is more like shooting yourself in the legs.
You are not the target audience
You are not the market.
You are not the traffic source
