Introduction

What play can you play in the desert? And what fun can you have in the grave? This is a story of restrictions, depression and achievement.

EPISODE 1:

His name is Jeff. Jeff is a young boy of 15. He is handsome, intelligent and has the gift of convincing people to do what he feels is good and they surely do.
The first way he uses his gift was to draw people closer to God. Jeff was the only God fearing child in his family which made the young ones to follow his examples and took him as their model.
Mothers uses Jeff to set examples for their kids and his mother was so proud of him which she calls him "my hope".

EPISODE 2: RESTRICTIONS

Jeff is grew up to be an internet explorer at 25yrs. He is now known as the computer wizard while other kids were known as wizard for crime. He wants everybody both young and old to invest in his apps developing business.
This is another way Jeff uses his gift

Jeff didn't stress himself to convince people to invest because he was trust worthy, reliable and bold. Alot of people gave whatever amount he asked of them believing that they will get in full and with gain but something happened to his sense of humor!.

EPISODE 3: IMAGINATION

it's always easy to achieve things you imagine if you can also draw a map in your head.
Jeff advised by some elders and matured minds not to take up his kind of business but he said it was a stepup to adulthood.
One morning, news reached people about government restrictions from accessing the internet and also closing down Jeff's platforms.

He rushed off to his site to withdraw people's money he has invested but he was banned from even attempting to open his account.

Tears drained from his eyes. He knew that alot of people that looks up to him will be frustrated and disappointed.
What will Jeff do? will he run away or pay all the debt? what other alternative does Jeff has?

The next episode will tell more about Jeff's depression and achievement

EPISODE 4: DEPRESSION

There is a saying; "you don't handle delicate things with kids gloves.
Jeff was depressed frustrated and beneath the fear of letting down his family. The most important thing was the trust he tried to earn back from people but couldn't.

All his friends and family family left him all alone and it eat into the trench of his mind. That was Jeff's saddest chapter of his history.
He sat one day and reflect on the things he tried to build and the years he spent to be an app developer.
He was arrested by several people he owed and all of them requested for a refund.

EPISODE 5: ACHIEVEMENTS

Depression has taken the lives of many youths today. For other things to work, you must let go the things you love most.
Jeff buckled up himself like a shoe and start a new journey in his life. He was employed in a company as a porter and later promoted to an office assistant.

Jeff didn't run away from his his debt because he viewed it as a face, something you wakeup with everyday. His humble beginnings and honesty led him to be the manager with good incentives. He finally built an app for the company and he was very happy

A man who does not plan, plan to fail. if you go to the market late you get stocked with what nobody want
Jeff finally made his money without anybody investing. He paid off all his debt and flee from chains. He was populaly known as an app developer. His dreams was fulfilled!

MORAL LESSON:

Taking a bold step does not mean soaking yourself in debt to achieve what you want but putting into consideration the obstacles in life and being proactive will help you trade with caution.
