As teenager and young adult we often feel like the world is our playground, nothing is impossible. Despite some of the stories we hear we believe that everything will fall in place for ourselves when we are aging.
When you became adult you start having some responsibilities, but at this time in life it’s possible to make some mistakes and to end up in a decent to a good life. Knowing that after making some mistakes can cause you to feel invulnerable. However this doesn’t mean that you can make a endless amount of mistakes. Rather than feeling that you are young enough to make mistakes be smart and anticipate mistakes you could make and avoid them. If you know a certain study wont bring you further in life consider a different study or look for going to work instead of studying. Instead of abusing alcohol, enjoy an evening with your friends but remain safe.
The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives. – Robert M. Hutchins
Value avoiding to make mistakes and you will be more carefull in life. Once you make a mistake don’t regret what you did, but learn from it and teach yourself how to be more carefull later on. Instead of forcing children to continue to learn in school about everything it’s better to teach them how to learn on their own. You can only learn and remember a certain amount of information in a couple of years of education. However if you know how to research information and how to teach yourself you can continue your education forever.
At a young age you will have a higher chance that you have some spare time on your hands. Use some of this time for enjoyment, but also be sure to focus on what you want to achieve later in life. We rarely listen to people telling us how short life is and how difficult things become when aging. Our body and our mind achieve their peek without us knowing it, at a later time it will deteriorate without knowing. Do what you can now so you wont regret your lifes choices later on. The harder you work now the easier your future will become, except if you keep on spending everything you worked so hard on. Work hard, prepare for later and thank yourself.
