Just Learn!

This morning, I woke up thinking about how I was going to sort this printer issue out at the office.
I had a lot of data capturing and image documentation jobs to finish up and print them out entirely for my pending management meeting.

Trying to get the printer fixing person wasn't happening after countless efforts towards getting him over to the office to fix it.

After all the daily wahala and getting my trucks on the road for their various deliveries as well as pick up assignments, I got myself some good Ghanaian food to eat and relax. Thereafter, I decided to attempt fixing this thing by myself ready to face any consequence should any arise.

I picked up my phone and started to read along on what was to be fixed.
I got some level of knowledge on that but still felt I wasn't going to be able to fix the problem.
I later dropped my phone, did some data capturing manually then I decided to let me hit the internet once again if I'd be lucky to get some step by step information.

YouTube did the trick. I had to go through quite a number of videos where I had to skew my search keywords to be able to attract those exact, videos to guide me.

I got a few and they seemed interesting but I still told myself, guy, chill oo what if this thing is damaged, you'll be asked to respond to a query and attest to an incident report form.
So for a minute, I stopped and attended to other office duties. As time went by, it came back to me that I also needed the printer to get those other jobs done immediately. I came back to the desk to attempt sorting it out. My search couldn't get me the exact product but there was a twin product for which the same issue had a video tutorial on.

I watched for said video repeatedly for four times and decided no I'll do this.
Step by step, I tried this fix it issue on the printer.
Along the line, I had a few steps escaping me and had to return to the video to guide me through.
Eventually, I succeeded in solving the issue and the printer was back to its best performance.

The motive for this post isn't to tell anyone about being smart but to always approach solving problems by taking your time and learning. Learning doesn't end, it is a continuous act that one must always be ready to fall on when it is needed. Even when it isn't needed, you can learn something new to keep your brain active.

Also, there are many platforms you must recognize is available to use. With this one, YouTube helped me.

Cheers.
