Hello there😊
I'm Humbelani hence Humbe in short. My country of birth is South Africa which is famously known to be a beautiful rainbow nation with both the big five games used on our currency (i.e. lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and African buffalo) and the ugly five (warthog, hyena, marabou stork, vulture, and the wildebeest).
I was introduced to hive by Joetunex and before then I didn't know about Hive platform. I'm a university graduate with more interest in climate science research. I enjoy reading mostly self-help books and financial content.I have my share of ups and downs in trying to figure out where this life is going, and a huge passion for academia (i.e. academic scientists).
I am also open-minded to exploring the science and religion debate", to understand the different perspectives and not to choose whose wrong or write. My current state of mind in this context is that the universe is capable of feeding events that are beyond what our human brain can imagine or comprehend, and we can either view it through the lens of science or religion.
My favourite authors for such content are (to name a few): the late Christopher Hitchens (Author and journalist), John Lennox (Mathematician), Richard Dawkins (evolutionary biologist), Jordan Peterson (clinical psychologist) and Kent Hovind (Christian fundamentalist evangelist and tax protester).

That's a funny one, I had my ears called leaf ears growing up by my sister 😃
Humanity would have been a lot better if financial literacy was taught in schools most of us wouldn't be drowning in debt. I always wonder why it is not made mandatory even to date.
Interesting into Humbe, can't stop laughing at you in the exam room 😃
Every day being me is a reflection of who I am in a happy, positive mood or sometimes on the low which I waste no time snapping out of quickly as I am the best of me in a happy mood which brings out the best in me through my endeavors.
Welcome to Hive, you are going to enjoy it here. Be yourself, engage with the community members and have fun.
@joetunex haha leaf ears. That's really a funny one and quite comforting to have someone who can relate. But satellite dish📡 is still bigger than a leaf. So mine still take a lead I guess.
Yeah alot of people shy away from financial literacy. In fact there is a published study that actually shows the positive outcome of teaching students financial literacy. So it is quite questionable why it is still not being considered a prerequisite subject unless of course if the goal of education is not to produce financial freedom and independence from credits.

Interesting outcome there for learners taking financial literacy subjects.
It goes to tell the system needs having financial literacy mandatory in schools.
@joetunex
Indeed, hopefully the education system will add that to their curriculum in the near future. For now its all up to individuals and parents to be better examples to their young ones starting from how they manage their credit/debts, investment and budget. But of course this is only feasible when there is actually enough income to even afford the basic needs.
I still think there is hope to turn things around.☺️
