Don't Assume You Will Remember: The Importance Of Documentation
Hello friends, steemit greetings, ignorance is really not bliss these days, it could cost you alot even your life. I learnt this the hard way and I am sharing it with everyone right away. This article is focused on the purpose of "Writing Things Down". Let's just get to it and see why it is necessary as well as what exactly we should write down.
Yesterday, I was with a friend of mine @jubil12, we were just going through our emails when he stumbled upon a mail that was sent to him about his NFT, he minted this NFT since 2019 and did not remember to write down his seed phrase to the wallet it was minted on, the most heartbreaking thing is that the highest bid for this NFT was about 2 Ethereum, now we searched everywhere and he even confessed he did not write it down, imagine what 2 Ethereum would've done for him by now, I think ether is about $3500 which is equivalent to 16,500 Steem, that is a huge amount of money he will be looking at everyday of his life without touching it, I felt bad for him for real but I learnt a lesson.
Let's just say he wrote the seed phrase down and saved it somewhere safe, imagine how much he will be worth by now. This is why you need to write it down, write that password down, don't assume you will remember because you will need it sooner or later, don't be like my friend who will just be seeing his money but won't touch, write down that seed phrase no matter how insignificant you think the wallet is, that small insignificant token inside it might be worth a fortune tomorrow.
Write that pains down, write the cause of It and how you soar through it, write it down, you might still need tomorrow for yourself to remind yourself how strong you were. Write down the lessons each phase of your life, you will need it for yourself or to teach someone else. These things are not just fairytale.
Write down the good and bad decisions you have taken in life, it might sound funny and crazy but this will help guide you tomorrow, sometimes situations repeat itself, you need something to fall back to, the human brain is bound to forget but things written down will remain there. Write the decisions and experience down, you will certainly need it.
Write down people's name, write down people who came through for you when life hit you down, life can so bless you and it will be unideal for you not to remember them, put them down on the chronicles of your documents, you need these people in your life, these are the real MVPS.
Write the sermon down, even while reading, write the points down, there are so many things you will learn from reading a single book, that's where wisdom and knowledge is acquired. Do not let yourself down, write it down and put every lessons to practice.
Write down the blessings and answered prayers, sometimes the best way to stay out of depression when you get to remember the blessings you have enjoyed so far and this will be reminder that everything will fall into place even at the worst of situations. This will keep your faith on check and still tightened on God's benevolence. Please write them down, do not assume you will remember anything.
