Dear Biodun,

I must confess reading your mail made me have a second thought on my life. I am 24 years old and I have been battling with more of like thinking and sometimes I get depressed. These thoughts are fears of the real world, how my mates are driving the latest Benz in town and I'm still squatting with a relative. If I'm going to be a good father and a better husband to my future family? Alot

Thanks for the mail sir, it has told me not to worry but focus on the future ahead.

Comments from my mail:

Thanks you very much for this piece Mr Abiodun; You clearly explained how we think about life and I see you understand what people in their 20s go through. I am really encouraged by this article, it echoed how my lesson teacher was always grateful for extended meals he gets from my family when I was much younger. I always felt he was excessively grateful in an unnecessary style those days, I didn't understand what he was going through until now that I also have to juggle being a private tutor and university studies at a time. It isn't easy at all.

What struck me most in this article is the fact that you helped me realise I still have time left and it is not too late. Like you wrote - a person in his 30s and 40s might probably have wife, kids, parents and many other things to care about, and which will surely take his time and energy. This is something I suddenly realise I have and I can utilise with diligence and not put too much pressure on myself. There is a lot to express in regards the opportunities I can see now, and I feel you might be well aware of them if I type them out.

I'm stuck of words at this point 🙂. All I can do now is to thank you and let you know I am encouraged.

Warm regards,

This is a beautiful piece, thanks for sharing and communicating the fears and worries of being in our twenties. Good to know I'm not alone in this school of thought. My take home is "trust that the outcome will be amazing if you put in the right amount of effort". Thank you, I look forward to your mails.

A very beautiful piece I must say, I especially like the networking part and the paragraph that talks about trying new things and CONSITENSY ( MORE EFFORT AND COMMITMENT) a lot of room for improvement there 😂 , well I love this write up. It's my first read and I am looking forward to more from you, Weldon Abiodun 👍.
