If I had to start all over again.

If I were suddenly dropped and stranded in a place where I didn't know anyone to call for help, I would need to survive by myself based on my intellect and my skills. To be fair, my survival skills can take me up to several months with some explanations. This happens because of the country I'm in; things just do not happen overnight.

Although with my hard work and consistency I should be on my feet in five months to a year. That's a reality. And this has happened to me before, as I would be talking from experience. There was a time I was transferred to a particular state for school; it was not my intention because my plan was to go to the state I have my business in so I can help myself with school, but to cut the long story short. They sent me to another state where I will be spending four good years. I could remember it took me seven good months before I started surviving; in fact, with the help of someone, what helped me out quickly was because of my skills as a phone engineer.

I could remember very well that I did help the lecturers to repair their spoiled phones and got some money to help me back then. I did that until I was able to rent a shop for myself. Note that this took me another year to stand on my feet. What I focused more on is just the basic amenities, and that's exactly what takes away most of the money. Should we start from food, clothes, and so on? Not to talk of renting an apartment, that took me an extra two years before I was able to get it done.

So if anything like that happens, I have two skills I can use to survive; the first one is my phone engineering work, while the second one is taekwondo, which will be so useful. Taekwondo, on the other hand, I will start from primary school to secondary school and teach the children self-defense. Especially in the world we meet ourselves, everyone needs to know how to defend themselves. With that, I will be able to take something home at the end of the month. Before the month ends, that's where the phone engineer will come in; it's everyday things.

Everyone uses phones, and they get spoiled regardless of how you manage them.I gave myself six months because I know how frustrating the country is, and not all schools can actually accept you teaching their kids self-defense; even if they eventually allow you to, they will not be ready to pay you as well as you want. I have been there and I know what these schools are capable of doing. Plus, the engineering work—some customers can be so frustrating.

Well, it all depends on where I met myself, but the moment I'm able to get food on the table, because that's the most important thing, once I'm able to get something to eat and get some clothes on my back, I will keep doing it till I hit the target. So in summary, it all depends on where I find myself, but I know with the skills I have, I will definitely survive.

Images are mine.

Jesus Christ! Where have you been all this while? I have been searching for you since.

Thank God for the topic and like you said schools may not want to have you immediately Incase of Chang in environment, but I still believe we can strive through despite all odds.

Seven months is a long time but it's impressive that you kept pushing until things got better. Your story shows how important patience and persistence are.

Yes, it is not easy to just start all over again.
