"Guys, a matric certificate is an achievement. Some people don't have it, others have to work thrice as hard to get it, while others didn't even reach matric, and it is required for most jobs these days."

User @MissBuhle added:

"Please advise him to make a copy in colour and rather frame that one, than keep the original certificate safe in the house❤️."

User @Sanele Mmino said:

"People who recognise or acknowledge their achievements go far in life."

User @Angelface commented:

"It's because our degrees are under the mattress that's why we're not getting jobs. This guy is busy manifesting here. Soon, the wall will be full. Appreciate humble beginnings."
