When it comes to experiences that has actually made my year?, I have tones of them, some very very unpleasant some excellent as well but then time never stops we gotta add up all of them and leverage on the lessons learned, good or bad experiences has come to teach us a lot of things it will be wisedom to learn from the experiences.
one of those experiences that rocked my year happened around April-May and that was during the time I was in a move to get my self a new phone not actually new, but it was to me.
so I have been contemplating on getting a new phone, so a friend of mine reached out to me, told me he wanted selling his own, it was a Samsung S9, atleast it has the spec I wanted, so I opted for it, but then I wasn't financially stable as at then, I was able to raise 70% of the amount, to pay up later on, since its my friend we agreed that he send the phone over to me, mind you I was living in another state far from the state were he lived, so he needed to waybill the phone to me .
with the hope that we were on terms i sent the amount with me, then had to sell off my phone to make up part of the money so I was offline for a while, while I expected this guys call the whole of the following day expecting that the phone was on its way or would receive a call that it has arrived only for me to wait and wait in vain when I called my friend and he finally picked he told me that I have to and must complete the remaining 30% before he sends it .
wow I was star struck, bro its me, I sincerely needed this phone so I can began working and in just a matter of days, I would pay up, he didn't still give in, after I got a loan to make up for the 30% he send it over
but then tragedy struck in....
mind you I've dried up every single penny on me and went ahead to get a loan just to have it sent over, then just few days of using, gadget was faulty, my friend denied everything saying it worked perfectly, well?
I went ahead to fix this simple charging flex for almost 15% of the total amount of the phone, making me spend spend and over spend, I regretted ever contacting this guy ever doing business with this my friend, at the end of the day I was drained financially, mentally, physically, psychologically, I was literally exhausted, I couldn't believe my eyes how much I've spend from purchasing to waybill to now fixing the problem ahhh.....
but then after that, the fact that I got the device fixed it actually became one of the best decisions I ever made this year, at the end of the day it turned out good and I've used the device for about 8 month plus without fault and it's still very fine....
some experiences are better- sweet kinda experiences that shaped and reshaped how we think and view the world.
