I am an introvert because most times, I spend my time indoor and I also love being alone. I love privacy a lot because whenever I'm opportune to have privacy, i'm always able to think deeply and also generate ideas for myself. Also, due to sad experiences in the past especially when it comes to relying on people, I've learnt to stay alone most times. I only mingle with people when it need to be.
A unique thing about me is that I always see positivity in every thing that I do and also in people around me despite the fact that I do not easily get close to people. Also, another unique thing is that I love to learn from people and that's why I love to move with those who are above me in terms of profession, also my peers though, I'm always distinctive when it comes to selection of people to walk or work with.

Some of my Favourite hobbies or what I find pleasure in doing, is playing the trumpet. The trumpet is an instrument that I love so much due to its uniqueness amongst other musical instruments. Despite the fact that it comes with lots of challenges, I am always so grateful to myself for not giving up on it when I had challenges on it when I started learning it. When I started trumpet lessons, it was so tough and challenging as my peers were very much ahead of me and after trying to meet up with them and it proved abortive, I felt so intimidated at some point because I never thought it'd be so challenging but I'm grateful for persistence and God that made me not to give up.
Today, I play the trumpet independently and I have trained over 10 people on how to play the trumpet in which they're all now excelling in it. I'd just say that Persistence pays! In whatever you're doing, challenges are just like obstacles and your dedication and persistence are the things that make you overcome the obstacles.
My Favourite sport is football. I love football with great passion. One of the things that I never get tired of, is watching football matches. My Favourite football club is Manchester united. I started supporting the club in the year 2007 when Sir Alex Ferguson was still the manager and ever since then, I've always been following the club updates. Manchester united is a club that I fell in love with effortlessly and asides the fact that the team play well, I followed the club because of my love for Cristiano Ronaldo and I've been a Manchester united fan till date. GGMU!
I love to read books on relationships, motivations, financial books, music books and finally self help books because I believe that they are guides to me in order to improve myself.
One lesson that I've learnt the hard way is that people can never be pleased. Whether you're kind, or humble, or generous, or caring, people will always show whom they are and its just a matter of time. I can not count how many times I've been disappointed by people whom I trusted so much. Well, I am here to use my write-ups to bring motivation to those who are depressed and in a lonely state. Also, I am here to learn from various people from various backgrounds, Countries and Regions and I hope to meet with great friends from all over the world.
