Why can't i be a teacher ( Final epistle, Chapter 4)


       let me tell you a story about my parents,
My dad and mom where both educated and were a very hard working couple, my mum was a Gynaecologist whereas my dad was a Physicist and they both worked in a reputed organization where they were employed, at the peak of their carrier, they were very successful but they had no time for their love ones because they had to work 8-10 hrs 6 days a week, scared of losing their jobs but don't know, that was a wrong way to make money.
Suddenly after my dad lost his job, after the number of hard work he put in for his organisation, they still did not care about him, not considering that my dad spent years in school to get where he was, and after graduating from the university, it took him a lot of time, from one office to the other, before he could secure that very Job he had.

I can still remember that look on his face, that day he was fired, the tears from his eyes was so touching, i couldn't hold myself but i cried also, daddy immediately changed his decision of forcing me to be a doctor or a lawyer but to go with what i love to do. After my dad lost his job, he was unable to find a Job like that again due to the bad government and corruption of the country Nigeria.

My mummy suddenly became the breadwinner of the house, the situation forced we the levi's family to move into a smaller home. My mum was forced to retire at the age of 67, due to a mild Dementia case she was suffering from, still after her retirement, she was not having enough cash that can put food on her table for at least for a month after her retirement, not considering the work of 8-10 hrs per day in 6 days a week, not considering all she had to go through when she was in medical college, she was so helpless after her retirement and i had to intervene to help her.

Back then i graduated a physicist and i followed my hobby in becoming a secondary school teacher, because my dad later changed his mind but my best friend Joe went ahead to become a Surgeon because of he was pressurized by his parents on that decision making.
I once envied my friend's success, because i was so poor and he was so rich at the peak of our carrier but I was having to work less than he does.
I was working 5 hrs per day in 5 days a week whereas he was working 10-12 hrs per day in 6 days a week.
Sometimes, he usually get some urgent call to come to the hospital due to some emergency caseS on  the seventh day, which is on sunday, and most atimes the night shifts which are so stressing.

But now, I never one day on my life knew i will be wanted to be a chairman of this great Seminar and share my success story with you young, vibrant, potential and hard working people.
(Bright looks around with a smile on his face).

He continued, you must be wondering, how did i make it in life being a common secondary school teacher, how did i become so rich, But it was so easy my fellow people, 
I hundred percent (100%) abstained myself from any illegal activities like scamming, stealing, etc you can name them.....
I became this wealthy by reading a book and learning from people who has gotten so much experience in financial decision making.
I read a book of successful ones especially those that has crossed that sea that i was about to cross, especially those that had a full experience.
I believe in this modern world today, In this 21st century there is now nothing impossible to be done, Did you know Hiv and Aids now have a cure ?
(he pulsed for a little while, he looked around with some smile on his face, he collected a bottle water and he drank a little bit).

He continued, you just have to beat that thing that is holding you back which is pains.
Learning never ends and it should be part of our hobby.
Whether you want to be a cook, a health worker, a fisher man, an engineer etc you have to read a book to be perfect.
And whenever you start having some challenges e.g relationship problems, technical problems, health related issues and most especially financial problems. just look for the right book and read.
Don't waste your time in comparing yourself with others and don't compete with others,
Just learn and keep improving yourselves.

Suddenly a voice came calling Honey, Honey and a female hand was hitting him at his left scapula region of his body, and Bright opened his eyes, seeing himself sitting at his garden with his hands crossed around the book "the rich dad poor dad by Robert kiyosaki".
Bright realize that he was dreaming of when he became rich. 
And his wife said to him, "if you want to sleep, why don't you go inside, anyway i'm off to the market, like we discussed earlier today about some food stuffs, i want to collect the money. Immediately Bright deep his hand on his wallet but the money was not complete but he gave her all he got, and she frowned her face and Bright said, honey please manage it thats all i have for now and she glanced and collected it and left for market.
It was on a saturday afternoon, immediately the wife left for market, Bright bowed his head and he started thinking, saying to himself, 
I have never on my life dreamt of becoming so rich like that before, O'lord where are you, please help me, show me the way, my happiness of becoming a teacher is now becoming my darkness, my work can't provide enough food for my family, i  now have too many responsibilities to take care of. example my mother's dementia hospital bill i have to pay for, Oh what kind of a son, father and husband am i turning into ?
Wait a minute, in my dream i was advising people to read books and learn from those that has crossed a river they are about to cross in other to be successful, hahaha that dream was funny but wait a minute ? what if i do something like that, this rich dad and poor dad book am reading, it look impressive to me, oh this is it. 
maybe reading a book, using it to find the solution to my problems was the meaning of my dreams.

       On Monday morning, Bright went to school and he returned the book "rich dad poor dad by Robert kiyosaki" which he borrowed from some students.
Later that day, he stunned the book shop and bought many financial books e.g the richest man in babylon. and he held to the advice of this books.

After some months later he noticed the continuous increment of his net worth and the successful growth of his companies which he started few month ago.
At the age of 65 Mr Bright Levi single handedly retired his teaching Job but was still making money because he sent his money to work for him after stopping to work for money.
His friend Joe was forced to retire at age of 75 due to Nigerian law on retirement policy. but he went broke few years later and depended on his siblings and childrens.

This is the end of the story Why can't i be a teacher.
