How to Learn Good Skills that will Pay you Forever
I have a friend from my university days. His name was Anthony. Anthony was a simple man with a simple life. He worked at a factory, doing the same mundane job day in and day out. But deep down, he knew he wanted more. He wanted a better life for himself and his family.
One day, he stumbled upon an advertisement for a technical training program. It promised to teach him some skills that would pay him forever, but with the condition that he would work for them with excellent pay after the training. Without hesitation, Anthony signed up.
For weeks, he worked tirelessly, learning everything he could about coding, web development, and digital marketing. He was resilient and determined to learn the skills. He doubled his effort in learning and input much work like never before. He struggled at first, but with determination and perseverance, he mastered each skill.
After the training which lasted for about 5 months, Anthony was offered a high-paying job at the same tech company, and his life changed for the better. He was able to provide for his family, and they no longer had to struggle. Years went by, and Anthony’s skills continued to pay off.
He eventually left the tech company and started his own successful business, and his family never had to worry about money again. Looking back, Anthony knew that his decision to learn hard skills was the best one he ever made. It not only changed his life but also gave him a sense of accomplishment and pride. And he knew that these skills would continue to pay him forever
