Wisely

people dragging this man for saying you need a level of wickedness for at least 5 years to escape poverty. but honestly… I understand what he meant and it reminded me of something my dad told me last year (note: this is going to be a bit long) 🧵🔻 last year when I started making decent money from web3, high six figures in naira started becoming normal to me so I got comfortable sending money home, to my mom, my girlfriend, people around me and to family. and I didn’t really see anything wrong with it in my head, I was like: “it’s crypto, I’ll always make more” but my dad kept warning me, he said I was moving too fast and giving too much I didn’t really listen until one day something happened my big brother got into a serious issue. government destroyed his small shop and he went back to zero he had to move back home and my mom kept calling me, crying and asking me to help him at that time, I was trying to: buy a PC pay school bills invest small and still survive but I was ready to give everything I had to help him then my dad called me and what he told me changed my mindset he said in Yoruba: “𝐎𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐨𝐦𝐢, 𝐨 𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐬𝐞 𝐞… 𝐨 𝐧𝐢 𝐨𝐲𝐞 𝐚𝐢𝐲𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐚… 𝐨 𝐦𝐨 𝐩𝐞 𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐣𝐮 𝐥𝐨 𝐟𝐢 𝐧 𝐥𝐨 𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐲𝐞 𝐧𝐢?” which means: 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐡, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞… 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐚 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝? at first it sounded harsh but then he explained he said: 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐲𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬. he said entitlement will set in he said my income is not stable yet he said if I keep draining myself, I will return to zero. and the most painful part he said was: 𝐢𝐟 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐞, 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐭. that part hit me hard ……….🔻🔻🔻
