someone who turn over a new leaf

it was in secondary school when all this occurred :

being a top achiever . he has always gotten good grades since schooling but everything change when he went up to secondary schools :

he disrupted classes , made teachers helpless and never gotten good grades , it all seem like a broken teen .

it was not all that devastating , he only realized after some time it was burn out in a student's life.

he actually got burned while in higher streams during primary school , there was no reward being in a higher stream even though getting good grades for all subjects .

So after graduating primary schools , he got good grades , all As in every subjects but it came when he turn up for secondary school ....

he could not tolerate schooling life anymore , he was in a good class but he had gotten fed up with his good results .

it was like never ending studies for him , he wanted a way out .

he joined street gangs , picked up smoking and gotten into fights for what reasons .... nobody knows .

He wanted to go to jail to avoid turning up for schools .

He was very unhappy with schools life but he was helpless .

everyday seems like a drag for him , turning up and leaving helplessly for schools .

the final straws came when he got arrested and was placed in lock up cell in the police station . I don't wanna dwell on the reason , but it was something violent and big scaled .

He finally got what he wanted , he was asked to leave schools .

the funny issues was that his dad had not given up on him but instead went round looking for schools for him to attend .

after numerous attempt , he finally gotten a neighborhood school.

that was a funny year , he again gotten all As for his examination. He could no longer tolerate getting good results for his studies anymore .

he chose to leave school after this but .....

he was awarded cash incentives for impressive results. the letter came and he was awarded cash incentives for impressive academic results . he was to attend the distribution ceremony .

It came and he was awarded some incentives for pleasant results.

the letter practically changed his life .

He did not expect to be awarded , he just wanted to left schools.

He left schools and went out to work even though he got flying colors for his examination .

he could no longer tolerate life in schools and all the As he gotten .

school's life was stifling , boring and unpleasant .

he was involved in numerous illegal activities just to get out of life in schools .

the letter awarded was practically a boost in his life , it came timely ... cos by then he got arrested every now and then ....

it reminds him that every little things u do everyday will chalk up to something massive at the end of it .

Cultivate good habits and become a better person by the end .

to be thrifty , you can saved a lot at the end of the day .

take care of the little things in life & the big ones will take care of themselves ...

effort , discipline and patience runs a long way if u wanna achieve in Life .

anyway , a piece of advice : Do not run a restaurant theme business , you will incur heavy losses at the end of it . Do anything but avoid running a restaurants .

the crimes he gotten into :

Stealing

Rioting

involved as a secret society member

the amount of fights he gotten into was ........

he picked up smoking even though he was not of a legal age

most of the people around him were all secret society members and a number of them was taking party drugs on and off .

some taking heroin and other drugs ....

it was a common sight for him to see all these stuffs back then

he mingled around the red light district since at a tender age ,

fights was common for him .

he understand the meaning of LOVE ,

his mother , no matter what grades he gotten , she will always love him .

His father . never give up in him and scrambled around looking for schools for him , he believed in Him.

He understand that no matter what happened to him , his parents are always there for him . They have some strong bonds ..

back then , grading was all happening in schools and there was not even computer and internet .

He lazed around all day , avoiding homework and disrupt schools ...

He only knew hanging out with his friends @ billiard salons ...

but deep inside he wanted to settle down and be a responsible father , til today he is still trying to have a fixed income and set up a family for himself .

he has been doing this since he left schools at 16 , the letter boosted his life ... !

to him success seems like , a happy family and a happy home .

Its not how big the home is , it is how happy the home is .

he emerged an experience person after all this work since he left schools ... i think he is getting the hang of it .

Even though he is not that rich nowadays but he learn to learn during his free time . He knows at least 12 languages nowadays and avoid the pits fall while investing .

he just shows that if u put in effort , the reward shall be yours .

Nothing comes free in Life . a little a day goes a long way ......

U reap what u sow ...

He still believes in hard work rather than smart working , can be a bit stubborn at times but ... He is this way .... lol

he believes in isolated learning , he read 200 books a year .... lolz

the night he spent in lock up and the letter kind of 'told' him not to stop learning .

Always be better than yesterday ...

Learn to be a better human every single day ....

if possible , try not to make yourself idle ,

an idle mind is a devil's playground .

Be a bit purposeful in Life to stay healthy .

Healthy mind healthy body , Health always come first

with Health , comes wealth .

stay purposeful everyone ...
