After completing my cybersecurity training program in cybersecurity first responder and comptia A+ training in early 2019 , i came to a total fix on what to do next . At this point i was in a dilemma , confused on what next to involve myself in
.
Things didn’t augur well as i presumed and planned which immediately led to minor set backs . Time is money and it of course doesn’t wait for anyone i hastily reminded myself. I had to do something about my predicament or else I’ll lag behind effortlessly. At this juncture I delved into the world of cooking delicacies for sale .
I started this movement late 2019 . It started well and was going well ; it felt so good making sales and delivering food to different people here and there until 2020 came with its peculiarity .
The year came with the pandemic and it obviously disrupted the ongoing journey of my mini food delivery venture. Alas! my world paused again and came to a standstill . Which way to go? What next ? were the lingering questions I asked myself during this testing and harsh period.
So your life paused ?, came to a stand still ?? , so what next ??? 🙄😒 might be the very next questions you might want to curiouly ask me .
Mhmm! I can promise you these questions aren’t rhetorical , they’ve got answers 😓. To be honest, the food business dwindled but i still tried to keep it going even though i knew i would probably put it on hold until further notice.
Prior to my journey into the cyber security world , I worked (and still working)as a marketer for an arts enterprise called ArtsbreezyAfrica. The enterprise deals in the sales of different varieties of art works such as framed portrait art works, paintings, woodburning, pastel,mosaic amongst others.
I must tell you the world of sales/marketing of art works is really tough and intense where i come from if you do not have a targeted or specific audience/client you are dealing with . If you want the best you got to have to give the best is the reason i give to my clients if they ask why the art works are expensive.
In essence I’m saying based on how things are generally are in my country an average person will rather get foodstuff with the supposed money used to purchase an artwork due to the fact that they tag them expensive and in their own terms unnecessary to get or have.
Notwithstanding, this didn’t deter me from doing what i have to do which of course to a certain extent brought manageable yields which at least for a fact kept and is still keeping the body and soul together.
“The street is strict , to survive you have pay your dues” is a quote i put at the back of mind in my daily journey of life . To eat i have to work , but what if there’s no work, what do i do ? create one for myself I’m sure will be the appropriate reply to that question.
The thought of what worthwhile to do and at the same time soul filling was what kept on lingering on my mind till a friend of mine @mistakili introduced me to this exclusive platform called hive blog .
He extensively explained what the platform was all about in layman terms to me and i must confess that was how my journey on here came to life .
Is this a new beginning with some glimpse of hope ? I asked myself this with some mixture of doubt and at the same time optimism.
In my previous post i talked about less talk ,more action. I can remember vividly my pal @mistakili constantly asking me if i have signed up on the hive platform and I’ll constantly tell him I’ll look it up.
As a concerned friend he will always talk about how he started his hive journey, how those who even introduced him to the platform are no longer active and how sad he was that no one in his close circle is not involved in the platform despite the fact on how he tried his possible best to preach good gospel of hive blog.
Seeing his uttermost concern towards me joining and actively getting myself involved in the movement highly motivated me into signing up on here .
I remember how we will both gist and talk about the good prospects the hive blog brings but i was not doing anything on my own part. I was just always doing more of the talking than the actual action.
Things have to change this time , the thief of time ; procrastination had to be jailed and caged for me to start the actual doing and quit the excess talking i resoluted.
The new year 2022 rolled in and I really just felt it is the right and appropriate time to delve into the amiable and purposeful world of hive blog.
I took this major step and in a jiffy, in a squeeze of a lemon i signed up on here and the rest as they say is history. I hope these little drops of water I’m storing right now will make a big mighty ocean in the future.
Thanks for taking your time to read my piece.. Bless! Long live Hive blog!!
