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:

  1. If you suddenly wake up today and find yourself in one of the poorest villages in the World, what do you have to offer? 
  2. 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?

Before proceeding to the answers, you should take a minute to think of these. What can you offer? What skill do you have? What do you know? How good is your thinking process towards what you love doing best? ..and a barrage of questions to come.

Here are the answers:
  1. The Man who has absolutely nothing to offer in Scenario 1 is The Poor Man!!!
  2. The man who has absolutely nothing to offer in Scenario 2 is The Illiterate!

Think about it. You have to be REALLY poor to be taken to a poor place and yet you have NOTHING to offer. Likewise, you must be an Illiterate to have NOTHING to offer in a city. with some good level of literacy


Some Chacteristics

Cutting Corners:
The Poor Man thinks cutting corners is smart.

Status Quo:
The Poor man knows how to change the status quo, but will never change it because He is poor in taking risks. The Illiterate has absolutely no idea of how to change it, but keeps complaining because he has little knowledge of what is going on.

Adroitness - A function of Dedication
Before you consult your dictionary (most likely, you have non on your Smartphone: See you, Semi-Illiterate, :-) ...that's on a lighter note though). It requires spending time in growing into "riches" and "literacy" to become adriot at anything.

The Poorest Man on earth:
Dr. Myles Munroe(1945 - 2014) famously said "The poorest man on earth is the man without a dream".

Being a Poor Man and an Illiterate at the same time is simply bad. Very bad things happen when you have these two titles. There is absolutely no reason to belong here. You must strive to be at least "Rich" or "Literate". You should strive to be Rich and Literate at the same time.

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 ...

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
