NEVER SAY NEVER
We often underestimate our own abilities a lot of times, and using myself as an example, I used to do this a lot. I literally missed out on so many opportunities in my life just because I thought I wasn't good enough, or that the thing wasn't meant for me. I used to be the kind of person that loves trying things out, I was never scared of failing at something. I wasn't entirely bold and all that, but I was very daring. Lately, I have been trying to rekindle that fire.
To start with, one thing I think I can do but I am not doing is SINGING. I enjoy singing at the comfort of my personal space but never to other people. I am not very confident to sing for people to hear, I just do it personally for my own pleasure. I have been trying to encourage myself to take part in all these Hive singing competitions, but I haven't been able to. Apart from doubting my singing ability, putting myself out there is still something I struggle with and been trying to work on. I do hope I gain the confidence to participate in one of the Hive music competitions soon. My first try might not be perfect, but maybe I can grow, yeah?
What I didn't think I could do and I am currently doing. I didn't have to think too far before realizing the answer to this. So while trying to find my path after finishing the university and officially joining the pool of unemployed graduates in the country, I decided I wanted to pick up a skill-one I will build professionalism in. To my greatest shock and surprise, I started picking interest in front end development.
Maybe this wasn't supposed to be a big deal but it was! The reason is that I never imagined myself coding. When I see people code, I would be like 'nahhh, this is definitely not for me!'. It all seemed very complex and I was so sure I would never go that route, until I did! The journey has been very interesting, although a bit rocky. I am transitioning into a field I had very little knowledge of, so there is actually a lot for me to do.
When I finally become a professional, I would always mention this part of my story in almost all my speeches😂🤭. I would be so dramatic and extra about it and start giving off all these 'perspire to aspire' kinda vibe to encourage newbies😂😂🤭
This journey is one of the most fascinating ones I have embarked on this year, and I am really looking forward to the rest of it. When I started considering the field, I was very surprised at myself and I am glad I went for it. I have been really enjoying it so far and I get very thrilled whenever I learn new things.
Thanks for reading❤️
A beautiful piece, the world needs to hear your voice it would be a source of inspiration to others. You can do it.
Eiii, thank you so much for the motivation. I will look into it😁
Wait o, I wan really hear you sing o
Oya, when you do any video tag me make I come watch, hehe
I agree with you, we must strive to get out of our comfort zone to explore the possibilities in life.
Eii, now I am more shy to sing😂😂 I wouldn't want to dissapoint you guys😩
Yeah, to do something really extraordinary, one has to get out of one's comfort zone.
I'm glad you took a shot at coding, sometimes we underestimate ourselves not knowing we can do anything only if we set our mind to it. All the best in your new journey.
So our pearl can sing😩, that's very lovely. I would really love to hear you sing someday 🤗
I am glad too🥺 Thank you so much❤️
I will try to summon up the courage and sing soon, might even be this week😉
You're welcome 🤗
Ahh!!!! Om goodness, I can't wait 😩..... I'll be looking forward to it 😊
I can't believe I never thought of why you haven't joined Vibes or other music communities here. C'mon let's enjoy the pleasure that comes from listening to your beautiful voice Pearl.
Ehnnn!!.. Agba Web Dev😂😂. I will come to you when I encounter a problem in any of my codes; expect me. Coding is sweet if you can exercise the patience and see the outcome of the lines of codes.
😂😂😂 I am shy ni oo, and now, this post is adding more shyness inside me since people are looking forward to me singing. However, I will try to do it anyways🙈
Lol, you want to start whining me!😂😭 Yeahh, I am actually in love with it😩
Hi dreemer, popped in here again from #dreemport 🤗
Thank you so much
Wow, coding??? I've also had the belief that it's complex, I'm glad you were able to pick interest in it and you're also pursuing it. Great job.
#dreemerforlife
Trust me, it is actually very fun, if you can find your way to genuinely having interest in it.
I am glad as well, thank you so much❤️
You're welcome.
See my baby entering into frontend development. I know you are very much intelligent to become a world class software engineer.
Taking about singing. You have such a beautiful voice, and the world needs to hear it.
Eii, thank you so much for always encouraging me. About singing, I will definitely work on it now
I can see myself from you. I also love singing but I don't have much talent about it but I always want to improve.
I also tried coding years ago but did not pursue it because I realized that it is not my passion — now I regret not pursuing it.
I do hope you get to improve, make sure you practice more and believe more in yourself. Funny I am the one giving this advice, but trust me, I am trying to follow it as well.
Aww, so sorry about that! I understand why you thought it wasn't your passion, self-doubt does that to us sometimes. However, I do hope you have found your passion now.
Just imagine. I think say you dey sing before the crowd normal normal but the crowd no pass the corner of your room 😭😭
Who will pacify me like this? I'm heartbroken.
How will you keep such voice to yourself?
Btw don't become a motigbetional speaker after you're done learning. Just create an online course and cash out from it.
😂😂 Please, you are cracking me up so much😂 Don't be heartbroken, I will try to adjust 😩❤️
Oh, that's actually brilliant..but then, I was talking about all those speeches that professionals make to encourage the people just starting out.
Thank you for adjusting in advance
Yeah! Startups need encouragement
