ONCE A NOVICE BUT NOW A PROFESSIONAL

(Edited)

Learning new things everyday isn't a bad idea I guees, that's the kind of person I'm, I try as much as possible to learn a thing or two every blessed day, no matter how little or minute that thing might be. It go to a point that I personally started calling myself jack of all trades lols... maybe because I don't like being idle, this made me learn virtually anything I lay my hands on, I was learning guitar, keyboard, drums and voice training, all at the same time, I was multi-tasking. Now without gainsaying even though I didn't later go deep learning all these instruments, am still not an amateur in any, i know at least the basics of all and some I know much more. All thanks to God.

Growing up I saw that I have interest for computers, anything computer related, electronic gadgets and all... I love to see myself grow as a computer professional. But then, I don't know anything about computer, even in my secondary school we did not offer the subject at all, I didn't allow this weigh me down, my determination, interest and passion to know keeps me going, I started finding means through which I can develop myself, no one to teach me but thank God I had an Android phone. I downloaded series of tutorials online to learn, and this is how I get started, taking things slow and steady, now I can say am very proficient in all Microsoft office applications. Most especially Microsoft word, I enjoy using it for typing and even to make some designs.

While learning, it was not easy at all, I realized nothing good comes easy, it's not an easy thing to learn something on your own without anyone helping you. But at the end it will end in praise.
But now that am very good at what I do, I cannot but say it has been paving ways for me.
Another thing I'll like to add to my knowledge is graphics design, I love graphics so much and I can't wait to get started.

The benefits I derived in being a computer professional;

  • I'm computer science teacher, with this have been able to pass knowledge to my students. I do my best to make sure they are up to the task. It's also a thing of Joy for me whenever am teaching them because I like imparting knowledge to my pupils, no matter how big or small, no knowledge is wasted.

  • Have been able to add value to myself through all what have learnt, people now consult me for computer training, which I also earn some cash from there. The most happiest thing for me when I teach someone is to see them become like me or more better than I'm. Am glad that virtually all the people I thought are making me proud. I can confidently say I'm their instructor.

Another thing I was a novice at sometime ago was blogging. Moreso, I was not a good writer, even in school when it comes to letter writing and essay I do shy away from it, most times I do it because I don't have a choice lols...
But not long ago, I was introduced to hive, funny enough I had to still run away from the platform for sometime because I was not finding writing to be an interesting thing. But gradually I was learning and now I know am getting better each day, it's my ninth month on hive already and I can say am enjoying writing, it's now part of me something I can't even do without, if I don't blog for two days, I won't be myself lols...

Sometimes I can be very busy offline, to the extent that the chance to write will be very difficult, I do feel guilty like am not doing what I ought to do, not until I create a time to write. Maybe am addicted to writing, "too much of anything is not good" so they say, but being a writing addict is not a bad thing for me. 😃

I cannot mention how great blogging has being helpful for me. If I should start adding it to this post, it will be too lengthy and I don't want to bug or stress my viewers. But to summarize it all, writing/blogging has helped me greatly.

Thanks for stopping by.

At the beginning we sometimes feel like giving up, but if you are able to pull through at the end you will see improvement.

Amazing! Jack of all trades indeed.
I didn't want to make a lengthy post either so I didn't write about certain things.

I learnt Canva without anyone's help and now I always try to make the cover images for my post by myself. I know that with time I'll get better too.

It feels so good to have basic knowledge of varieties of stuffs. I'm happy for you. Keep winning!

When one commits to learning a particular thing and is focused, such a person will learn within a period of time and that is the truth. Your determination will definitely make way for you when you are ready to be a proficient one in that aspect of skill you are wanting to grow on. I can say, with constant and consistent learning, one never fails at it.

You are almost getting to a year on Hive and you are doing well. Hive has become a daily thing for me too and it has helped me a lot too.

Omo... Jack of all trade indeed. You've done so many things. I know the attraction and allure of trying to do so many things at once. But in the end, we will just have basic knowledge of all if then and we would never be good enough in any until we focus on one.

You've done well.

Thank you for sharing this with us.
