HARDWORK + DETERMINATION = SUCCESS
When you work with honesty, integrity, courage and GOD as a pillar and guidance then everything is bound to be SUCCESSFUL..
No one is successful today without hardwork and determination, even the ones that makes success deceitfully, their wealth and success don't last long and they come crashing down in a twinkle of an eye....
As we all know this popular saying:
"BEHIND EVERY SUCCESSFUL MAN, THERE IS ALWAYS A WOMAN"...
and now thinking about this famous quote, i think another quote should be formed for those who are successful and thinking back there is this quote used by my teacher in school then, it says:
"THERE IS ALWAYS A STORY TO EVERY MAN'S SUCCESS IN LIFE"
and now that i think about it, i find out how true it, there is no success without a STORY and that is what gave birth to what i am about talk on today, it is actually my eldest cousins fiancee success story...
He and I are very close because i learnt how to operate a laptop from him some years ago and while staying with him then , we talked and laughed and it lead to him telling me about his SUCCESS STORY...
HOW I CAME TO OWN MY VERY FIRST HOUSE AND STARTED A
DAIRY FARM BUSINESS @ AGE 25..
Everything was going sweet and well until one day all that gave him hope was all shattered, he woke up from bed with the news of his parent's fatal accident that claim their lives, upon hearing that he was completely broken and turn apart, he was just 17 years old then with two female siblings ...
He had just finished his senior secondary certificate examination weeks ago and then facing the loss of his parents, his younger ones were just 7 and 8 at that moment and they weren't aware of the news because they didn't want it to affect their life and it was only him that knew and carried it alone with family members....
After some days, they were buried and he was left to take care of his siblings, his uncle took them in, his father's brother took them in and as they were also not financially stable, they provided them with roof and also took care of his sisters school bills and upkeep...
As everything was becoming hard for him bit by bit, he decided to take up a job to share the responsibilities with his uncle because he also has a family of three of his own and that was how he started working with a monthly salary of #30,000...
After the job, he was able to get his siblings stuffs for their upkeep and the feeding reduced but the money saved by their parents was used to send his siblings to school and for other things...
He continued like that for 2 years and his uncle became ill and couldn't work anymore, for months, his parents savings was also used for his treatment and the family's care...
By that time he had saved over #400,000 and was kept in a different account for his siblings, he could not further more because he was planning to his his siblings have a better future....
After 4 years, his uncle passed away due to sickness, and all the burden of his two sisters, his uncles wife and their only son was on him and the savings was not enough to feed the family again then things became hard for them, they already spent a lot while treating his uncle even the savings meant for his family, half of it was spent on him..
He decided to take multiple jobs to get more earnings, he worked from monday to sunday, he did all menial jobs just earn something plus his monthly salary and everything went on like that....
From two bed room flat, they moved to a room, from three square meal, it changed to one meal a day, his duties were already much and he started spending from his savings, sponsoring three kids to school and his uncles wife working to take care of the feeding...
All this continued until his #400,000 became #100,000 in just a year and then he met his new tenant for the first time and they greeted each other and as time goes on from neighbors they became friends and he also noticed his neighbor doesn't go to work, he was always on laptop and one day he decided to ask him what he is into...
Then he told him that he works online, he invest his money in online trading and when he started he started with just #100,000, even when he knew what could happen, he took the risk and then boom he made profit of over 2 million naira and since then he has been into it and that was two years ago, though there have been losses but it is minimal because he was taught not invest in all trade he sees but study them before investing and since then he has been doing fine and he told him that he is currently building his first house and everything will be settled in months...
Then he was told to go home and think about it if he is interested and he went home and looked into his account, he was looking at the #100,000 there and he said to himself that anything could happen to this money if he invests it and he also thought and there is no profit without risk and then he went on 7 days fasting and prayer and invested his last #100,000 naira on it ...
He was asked to wait for seven days for him to get the desired result, but for that seven days, he could not rest and on the fifth day, his friend came to him and told him the deal fell through and then he fainted immediately and after he woke up his friend gave him #50,000 because they were close..
On the 10th day after he has decided to start from scratch, he got a call from his friend while at work but he could not pick and after he dashed out to see his friend and guess what???
His share of the deals profit has been sent and it was over 5 million naira, on hearing this he was filled with joy and he thanked his friend and that was how everything started to change gradually and he was now taught how to handle the trade, he did a second investment and got another 5 million naira and he stopped it and started building a small diary farm and gradually from one, it became two and then three...
Everything changed for him and he started building his house when clocked 25 years and after a year he and his family moved in and things became sweet as it once were, he took his uncle's wife as his mother and built her a store while his three siblings at the moment are studying overseas and that was how his God never failed him and his hardwork and determination to make it in life came to fulfilment through his friend and that was the story of his SUCCESS and he encouraged me to never stop trying and to never give up...
Wow , such an emotional story. Indeed determination and hard work pays. When the first trade didn't work out, he feinted🤩, chai....thank God who finally made a way.
He also remembered the past by taking care of his uncle's wife and kid.
Success is sweet, especially after one has worked really hard for it. And that is illustrated clearly here.
Thank you for this beautiful story.
Thanks mod❤️💪
