Being a youth is a blessing. A blessing many seem to misunderstand. You ought to enjoy your youthful. However, many mistake enjoying their youth for destroying their future. It is common sight these days. Youth throwing their youthfulness away in the name of "Enjoying being young".
So how are we supposed to enjoy our youth? A simple line I always says to myself sums it all up. "Stay awake now, and sleep later". I know some of you may get jumpy thinking I mean stay awake all night drinking your youth away, and sleep the whole weekend. Unfortunately, that is not what I mean. It more about understanding that you have the energy, brains and time now, than you will have in the next 10 years.
It is best to stay awake now, working towards building your future, so when you get old you get to sleep in peace. Work hard while you are still your own dependent or have few dependents, as a time will come where they will be others crying. If you do not prepare now, you will never sleep when you get old. But if you prepare now, they will not bother you when they arrive. Many of us just want joy and fun, and we want it now. We think we will stay young forever. But we don't stay young forever; neither do we live forever.
Being a youth means you have time to make the foundation that your future self will be cemented on. Sometimes it will feel like it's not worth it, as you work so hard and see little results. But very often, this teaches us lesson and gives us experiences which will come in handy in the future. Use the time you have now to learn as much as you can. Instead of going out each weekend, have time indoors wherein you read and watch videos and new, relating to your career or business.
The truth is, if you work hard now, you will have enough reason and time to celebrate in the future. But if you try to celebrate the minuscule achievement now, you will have nothing to celebrate in the future. You may as well be celebrating your future downfall and lack. Prioritise what is important and put in effort and time.

ADAPT AND STRIVE
The world is forever changing, with billions of data and new technology being introduced daily. Our world is expanding at a rate which we as human are lagging when it comes to getting a grasp of all the changes. And the speed at which it is happening increases exponentially. Many fear these new changes and developments, and some love them.
It is a matter of which side of the fence you are on. These technologies can make your life easier or a living hell. The reality of today is that we have to adapt and embrace these changes, in order to fit them into our daily lives. Resistance is what will make it difficult for us. I am not referring to operating a smart phone or personal computer, but rather adventuring into different productivity softwares, and understanding at least one of the language these machines and technologies communicate in.
I know it looks like I am crazy with actually advising to learn the languages, but the world of tomorrow will favor those who understand at least the basics of these languages. And the languages have recently gotten much better for anyone to just take them up and do wonders with them. Learning these technologies, both hardware and software, give you a much better understanding of them, which will allow you to modify, streamline and even create newer processes which help you complete your duties much faster.
The world is running faster than those who are driving the changes, and it calls for all to adapt quickly. Lagging will be repaid by redundancy. The world of tomorrow will be for those who befriend these technologies and harness their powers to make their lives better. Those are the people who will incorporate these technologies in their daily lives and make these technologies work for them. The startups of today are born global due to these technologies. Technology rewards those who embrace it and it isn't so kind to those who don't.
Do not fear these changes. ADAPT AND STRIVE.
