RE: Open Happiness (Week 4): Touching lives through Selfless Giving!
Goodevening and welcome to Open Talk. Hope your day was fine. Today we will be looking back at somethings that happened in our lives. So here is the question we are asking:
What was your biggest life regret? What did you learn from it?
My biggest life regret was trusting in someone and I got disappointed along the line.
I've learnt not to put my trust on any man, but on God.
Really, am sorry about that. A sad experience. But has that affected how you look at people generally? Is everyone a suspect?
Yes to an extent.
What % of trust can you give me so far we have known?
My biggest life regret is powering down my steem unnecessarily about 600 steem.
The most bitter aspect is that I powered down when steem was below 100#
Choiii... E pain me no be small
Goodevening and welcome to the talk. Its really painful to do such a thing. Right now, steem is almost 3 times the price. But were you able to achieve your goal of powering down?
Nawaooo..... I don really know if there will be any achievement doing that, I regret doing it.
It's just a lost of money.
I lost about 180000#
Waooh thats a terrible amount of money to throw away. Do you think you learnt anything from that poor decision-making?
I really learned not to be hasty in decision making, I need to take my time.
To be concise and content with what I have.
Waooh. Big lesson there. Where do you see steem in the next few years - say 2 year? What are your plans to replace the money you powered down?
My biggest life regret was when I bought 1 ETH at the rate of N48k, and sold it at 100k thinking that was it highest peak.
I didn't know it will rise beyond expectation like this.
Now 1 ETH is almost a Million naira
I still regret that till date😥😢
You should have been with big money now. So why did you sell it? Was there an emergency?
Have seen double of my money so I thought it will drop again so I can rebuy it.
But I was totally wrong
It never happened. So what do you tell newbies in this cryptocurrency business. For example if price dropped very well?
My advice for the newbies is to invest in steem cause am seeing what I didn't saw in ETH.
So I won't make that mistake again
You may really not regret it because at that moment, that was the highest rate... Tis all about taking risk.
Chaiii..... This is really painful o
Please how did you cope with this trauma, do you still have any eutheriums?
It by gone.
I learnt my lesson.
I bought Tron and am holding till it reach $1 hopefully
You should have been patient. Well, it's a lesson to you now, and next time, you won't repeat that mistake
Yeah.
I won't let steem pass me by oo
😂😂😂😂😂
My brother no too reason am o
At that time that 100k had a profit of about 52k so u still made it
Think about it what if 1ETH had dropped to 20k? That would have been more painful
Yes Ooo, my brother
Yes oo..
I thought I have seen double of my capital so selling was the least thing I could do.
I was extremely happy when I sold it self 😁😁
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sure. He made profit. But he could have made more. Will you do the same thing if you are in that situation?
At that time yes i would have sold it, a friend of mine sold at 85k
Him here he is lucky
The truth is no one knows tomorrow
Like now sef i have 99 trx and e get how hungry go catch me i go sell am o😂😂😂
Na who chop belleful dey save for future
Lol
Am still holding my Tron, till we push am enter $1 even if nah 5 years I go hold
😂😂😂😂
I can feel your pain 😁
Ouchhhhh
That must hurt badly damnnn
Yeah.
It really hurt
Whenever I login to my Binance and I saw ETH price I remember the past
Well,life is all about taking risk @mato445, but calculated risk is better. Still good that you still made over 100% profit😊
Anytime i think of regrets, i remember my grandma and regret the fact that i didnt have so much time to spend with her when she was still alive. As a young girl then, i thought she will be with me forever, but i was very wrong....she left me and i regret not spending all my holidays with her. From this, i learnt that no matter what happens, i must always have time to spend with people i love because they wont be here forever...im doing that already
Powering lesson there @sovega, your grandma muct be a lovable person to be with wasnt she?
She was very very lovable and we were actually very close, but far away from each other
What was the quality you appreciate most in her. I know there could be many,
My grandma was very lucrative, hardworking and talented. She always advised me and encouraged me to be a better version of myself. My mom is an exact replica of her and I'll love to follow their trail
She stayed in the east, while i was born and brought up in the north
Oh, it was not entirely your fault. Distance can be a huge barrier, isnt it? But, could your parents or guardians agreed to have taken you there?
Exactly my regret. She lived with us and I wasn't really attending to her
So sad. Now she is gone. Am sorry. But the lessons will help you become a great person.
True sir. I'm a better person now
This is very true sir
Mine never lived with us😔
Wow thank you @focusnow for this wonderful question.
Good evening steemians. My biggest regret is not acknowledging and giving her much attention someone when she was still living. I learnt that the little time you have to spend with someone,shower love on that person because you don't know if that person will still be living the next minute
Who was the person @beewrites. A close friend or family member?
My grandma. She lived with us for close to a decade and we weren't really getting along. She died 2017 and Im missing her
Good evening sir,.. thanks for the welcoming..
My day went well..
Answer to your question,. My biggest life regret is too trust someone who isn't in this line with me..
And I learnt that, in life we move with people who have same dream and goals.. so I decided to move with people I learn from , people who will not be scared to tell me my wrongs and correct me.
Its really a bad experience to build trust in someone that does not care. About someone being brave to correct you when you are wrong, I discovered that many friends are scared to tell someone they are wrong. Why is it mostly the case?
Because they fear loosing that friendship.
But I think, only good friends will bravely approach you to tell you, you're wrong.
But fake friends will always laugh behind you
This is a big point. A great friend wants you to improve in life, isnt it? But I wondered how best to tell a friend to improve in some things. Like if the person has body odour? How can we approach that problem
If a friend has body odour politely buy deodorants and gift that person, tell him/ her the effectiveness of using them.. it will help
I think the peronism can be approached by first showing love to the person by buying good and lasting body deodorants and then using style to tell the person how nice he or she smells whenever he/she wears the deodorant
I got to find out that, they don't tell u the truth because of the benefits they get from you.. but someone is way bigger than you who in return doesn't need anything from you example material things and financially they are ok, they be able to guide you and correct you when you're wrong, because there's nothing to loose..
@isiben Real friends are actually rare. When you find one,you'll definitely know cause they wouldn't mind if there is anything to lose. Their focus is adding values to the other person which also includes constructive criticism.
I remember a quote"Better lose a friendship than lose a friend".
Meaning If telling you the truth would cost me our friendship,it is better than to cost me a friend's life. Later in life, the friend will realize.
Better have one sincere real friend than a thousand for-the-moment friends.
Thanks alot. You are so right
Hmmm, tis a big load carrying people that drag you back.
Good that u've identify that attitude
Good evening @focusnow. I have made series of mistakesyin my life and I hate regretting things , I don't look for anybody to blame ,I take responsibility for every of my actions , because bo that ,j don't keep such things in mind. But recently I regretted something after I joined steemit. I regret not buying steem and powering up when steem was still #67. Till now I still feel bad about it, because I remember when you use to urge me to buy. But it's fine, I have decided to work harder on steemit,to cover up for my mistake of not buying steem.
Thank you
I think powering down my steem when i did was a regret but not a biggest life regret
Hi @dlioness,
Aww.....Only God sees the future.
Nobody knew that STEEM could go so high within that space time.
I dey tells you my dear, it amazed me but we moveeee..
So which one was the biggest regret so far? What happened?
My biggest life regret is not doing the things i was meant to do in time probably during my early youthful age or as a teenage girl,i regret not acquiring the knowlegde i have now before now because if i have done that i would have been a decent and gentle rich girl....winks.....
And from that i learnt that its good to be exposed to useful kbowlegde and aspire for greatness in time before challenges would force you to do so and then it becomes a neccesity,
With this knowlegde i have now ,i will have to correct my mistakes on my children , they wouldnt fall victim of my kind of ignorance
Decent and rich. Amazing. But you seen not to be an old person. Do you think you can acquire those life goals?
Very well sir, but a stitch in time saves nine if im not mistaken , i would have gone far now
