The currencies of Life

What do you know about currencies?

We all know that you must pay the price for the tomorrow you seek. If you are just realizing that, please kneel down let me pray for you. Brakabados! ...You are delivered. :-) Oya. keep reading.

You'll pay such price in many many currency denominations of life. Such denominations includes the currency of time, currency of risks, currency of books, currency of relationship, currency of frustration, and the currency of money.

It would interest you to know each of the currency denominations mentioned, have their varying purchasing power in the various catchments of life, and that not every market consumes these currencies directly, for some, they must be converted to other denomination.

Talking about conversion, its quite unfortunate that, the exchange rates at the bureau-de-change of life are very volatile. I'll leave a lot to your imaginations.

You must understand that the only currency you own by default, is that of time; to obtain other denominations, you must trade your time for them. When you've obtained them, you can trade them for something else. It's simple economics.

Just as we have various Security and Exchange Commissions (SEC) in Nations or Economic Groups, nature is your own SEC - for example, time is limited to 24hrs per day. You should also know that every currency can be stolen including time... Ahhh, trust me, some currencies have no law that mandates the Thieves to pay back, a classic example is time.


The only regenerating currency you own by default, is time


If you want to be a world class Engineer you need to pay for it in its relevant denominations, and if you don't have the necessary combination of currency denominations, you need to exchange some of the currencies you own for those.

It turns out that the bureau-de-change of life is quite annoying for two features:

  1. Your currency is not converted in an instant. Some conversions takes days, some takes months, others takes years.
  2. Converting your currency requires your continuous efforts and presence at the Bureau-De-Change. The moment you take off your effort or leave the Bureau-De-Change, conversion gets suspended
However, passion accelerates the conversion throughput, and could earn you some discounts in the long run.

Some bureau-de-change don't really payoff on the long run, but are fun to put in some effort. Typical examples are the Bureau-De-Change for TV Soap Opera,

Some bureau-de-change don't really payoff on the long run, but are fun to put in some effort.

You must understand that, nothing goes for free, something goes for something.. Every conversion requires your efforts.

Do you want to be a world class anything? Put your time and effort to it. Put in the little money you have. Throw in some passion.

  3. Currencies are fascinating as they represent the economic strength and global influence of a country. Understanding how they fluctuate and impact international trade is crucial for economic studies. Interestingly, researchers often explore currency valuation, market trends, and financial stability in-depth, with many opting for Scopus journal publication services to publish their findings. These services help ensure that complex economic analyses reach a broader academic audience, contributing to global financial research.

The Poor Man and the Illiterate

Prof. Brouhaha is a renowned academic don but a poor man - how about we complicate things by declaring Adamu, a Tea vendor earning less than N20,000 a very rich man? For us to go down this short journey, we must review our understanding of being Poor and being an Illiterate. The context of "Poor" here is not limited to poverty, but having insufficient resources to meet a need; meanwhile "Illiterate" transcends academia, but extends to the inability to advance and stay on a bleeding edge. There are two questions I always throw at people when I deal with the issues of creativity. The questions will be answered with respect to this article, but before then, here are the questions: If you suddenly wake up today and find yourself in one of the poorest villages in the World, what do you have to offer?  If you suddenly wake up today and find yourself in one of the most technologically advanced (or literate) city in the World, what do you have to offer?

Stackoverflow - My brief Story...

Just as regular internet users use Google or Bing for their internet searches, Software Developers tend to rely on results from stackoverflow.com. They just don't use the results of stackoverflow, but they ask questions there, and "experts" troop in to answer the question; A number of these experts are senior Software Engineers with decades of experience, some are language designers, some are compiler Engineers, some are members of the team that designs the specifications of programming languages; Some are the inventors of certain features used in certain languages. Any Software Developer who doesn't know Stackoverflow is either a god, or is dealing with some unpopular proprietary programming systems, or a local champion. Answering Questions on Stackoverflow will push you to your A-game in the programming language of your choice
