My failure story may lift you



Let me share some value I got from the Innovate! Africa Summit by Truthsprout Nigeria.



* Failing is not failure
When we fail at something is an opportunity to have it done again, I bet you that when you fail you have a lot more to learn than when things goes the right way.



Let me share my story. Sometimes 2014, I changed my area of study from science to art for no tangible reason (thank God I did anyways) things was going well until I had F9 (failure) in English language subject, this was the time I had to go close to my English teacher then (Miss Faith) I began to take extra class from English teachers, one of them is Mrs Ozuem of blessed memories. At this point after failing the most important subject in my field of study I had to go the extra mile. Failing isn't failure when you put in additional work to get out of it.



I also learnt to be a creative thinker who speaks, write and leads. Thanks to our amazing speakers (David O. Lawal, Tony Omachonu, Tres Osayi Omokaro, Princess A. Tekenah among many others) for dishing out such great values.



Thanks to Truthsprout Nigeria for the amazing work put together to bring the even to reality and to Dr Victoria Nnaji for the invites. And to everyone that contributed to my journey may the Lord bless and lift you up.
