MY JOURNEY OF BECOMING A TECH PRO!
I enrolled in an online course a few weeks ago and was given tests and milestones to submit every week on or before Sunday 11:59pm. The first week went smoothly,and I submitted the milestone and test before the deadline using my phone.
During the second week, I finished my Milestone before the deadline but encountered difficulties while trying to submit it.The system kept showing an error message ,saying "failed to fetch."
I tried everything I could think of,more than 12 times, but to no avail. I was frustrated, tears filling my eyes.
I reached out to a peer who is quite tech-savvy ,and he offered to help .He asked me to share my screen ,and we tried several troubleshooting steps like renaming the file and changing my browser settings to incognito mode , desktop mode etc.
Unfortunately, none of these attempts worked.By this time, it was already 2:45am,so I had to sleep despite feeling upset.
The next morning at work,he asked me to send the file to his email so he could check it.After reviewing the file,he sent it back to me,but I encountered the same problem when trying to submit it again.
I was incredibly frustrated! Then,a thought occurred to me - why not try using a PC to submit this? I decided to attempt it. When I got home, I transferred the file to my PC and logged into the site to submit it.
Within seconds,the file submitted smoothly .It dawned on me that I WAS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH THE RIGHT TASK USING THE WRONG TOOL.
THINK ABOUT THIS:
Imagine someone who's been searching for success in the wrong direction ,like trying to force a square peg into a round hole.They might be using the wrong strategies, surrounding themselves with the wrong people,or pursuing the wrong goals .No matter how hard they try,they can't seem to achieve their desired success.
But then, they finally discover their true passion and purpose ( the "right tools") and align themselves with the right people ,resources ,and mindset.
Suddenly, their journey to success becomes much smoother and more effortless.The obstacles that one seemed insurmountable begin to yield, and progress starts to flow.
Just like finding the right key unlocks the lock,finding the right approach and alignment in life can unlock one's true potential and lead to success. It's a powerful reminder that sometimes, we need new directions to achieve our goals.
In life,you might have been searching for success in the wrong direction, trying different things that didn't work out. But when you finally found the right approach ( the "right tool"),things started falling into place,and you began to achieve your goals.
That's the power of finding the right key.
