<p>The biggest mistake one can make in life is looking down on and underestimating oneself. This act makes success more difficult to attain, regardless of the availability of the resources needed. Everyone has the ability to achieve success depending on the effort and determination they invest in it. Determination accounts for 50 percent of success, while the remaining 50 percent depends on effort and hard work. As a result, the current issue between Portable and Carter Efe serves as a good example.</p><p><br/></p><p>The tension between Portable, a musician, and Carter Efe, a well-known Nigerian streamer, is part of a broader pattern of clashes among Nigerian entertainers, often driven by ego, money, and public attention. The situation quickly escalated into a social media feud, with both sides exchanging insults and trying to gain public sympathy. This issue later led to a boxing match, where several individuals and personalities placed bets on the fight.</p><p><br/></p><p>Relating this insight to the issue between Portable and Carter Efe, Portable is known to be outspoken. He bragged and claimed he would win the fight because he had won two similar fights before, providing evidence by showing his two belts. Many people supported and advocated for Portable due to his previous achievements and experience in boxing. He frequently went online before the fight, warning that Carter Efe should withdraw to avoid injury and disgrace.</p><p><br/></p><p>Carter Efe, on the other hand, focused on training and strategizing on how to win the fight despite widespread criticism. He strongly believed in himself and never underestimated his abilities. He remained determined, prepared, and well-trained ahead of the fight. To some extent, some of his friends doubted him and advised him to withdraw, but he refused because of his determination. Fortunately, he won the fight and defeated Portable in the end.</p><p><br/></p><p>The rationale behind Carter Efe’s success in the fight was his determination and refusal to underestimate himself despite widespread criticism. He worked harder, believed in himself, and avoided distractions, which led to his success. Therefore, undermining oneself makes success more difficult to achieve and represents one of the biggest mistakes in life.</p><p><br/></p><p>✍️SAUBAN MAHMUD BOLAJI</p>

Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The winners are picked by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.

Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
