Teenagers - What Are You Going To Do With Your Life?
By Max Wiseman, Sat Dec 10th
Teenagers have a very different view on life to adults. Adultsseem to want to stop you having fun. They are very quick to tellyou that you can’t do this or you can’t do that and that youcan’t be what you dream to be when you grow up and leave school. Adults are partly right. They know that there is a cost toliving. They know that you have to find money to pay for food,clothing and accommodation. And they ‘think’ they know that thechances of you becoming famous, for example, are slim. What do you want to do when you are older? Many teenagers tellme that they want to be an actress, a doctor, a lawyer, amotocross champion, a professional football player, a pop star,a computer programmer, a pilot, a soldier, a racing driver or anastronomer. Someone even told me they wanted to become amagician.
Not many people tell me that they want to work in a hotel, workin an office, pick fruit or vegetables, cook food, repair cars,maintain roads or perform one of the hundreds of jobs that themajority of people do each and every day to keep a roof overtheir heads. So what happened to all of those ‘everyday’ people, did theyhave the same dreams as you? Yes, most people dream of great things when they are a teenagerbut very few go on to achieve them. What can you learn from themthat will stop the same thing happening to you? The first thing that you need to appreciate is that success doesNOT just happen to you. There is a lot of hard work and effortthat goes in to every success story. You will not just stumbleacross success, or become a pop star, simply because you want tobe one. Speak to any successful person and they will all tell you thesame thing – you need to have goals. You need to know exactlywhat you want, not just some vague notion about the ‘lifestyle’that accompanies this dream. You need a main goal and also lotsof smaller goals – things that you have to achieve on the way toachieving the big one. You need to discover what skills or knowledge that you need tobe able to do the thing that you want to do. You need to findout if there is a qualification that you need to have to gainyou entry into that profession. If you want to be a singer it takes more than the ability tosing. You are competing against thousands of other singers, manyof which have been singing from an early age and take lessonswith professional voice coaches several times per week. Theypractice seven nights per week and already perform in front ofsmall audiences and enter
Dangers of hydrogenated oils revealed in new downloadable report (press release)
How shocked would be you be to learn that the U.S. population is being slowly poisoned by a single ingredient deliberately added to the human food supply?
At first, it sounds like nonsense. But then you realize, after learning more, that the World Health Organization tried to outlaw this ingredient...
The mass poisoning of humanity: an exploration of human stupidity
As human beings, we're the only species stupid enough to actually poison ourselves. As part of modern living, we create a wide variety of chemical toxins that go into the ecosystem through rivers and streams, the air, the soil and so on. Not only that, we actually synthesize toxic chemicals and then...
Q&A: How to reduce high blood pressure and restore healthy cholesterol levels with natural health
A reader asks,"What are the proven natural products that reduce high blood pressure and restore healthy cholesterol levels? I am taking steps on the nutritional side of things such as avoiding meat and dairy products while eating a lot of fruits."
First of all, congratulations to you for taking some...
talent contests as often as they can.Are you doing this? If you want to be a motocross champion it takes more than theability to ride a bike. You are competing against thousands ofother amateurs like yourself who have been riding motocrossbikes from the age of four and have been competing almost everyweekend for years. They really know how to ride a bike. Theyhave put in the time to develop and hone their skills and theirparents are fully behind them buying them the best equipment andtravelling to new meetings to put them up against faster riders.These people are very fast. Have you put the same time in at thesame level? I am not trying to put you off. I want you to wake up to thefact that if you are not already practicing and competing at thepeak level of your dream activity then you need to start damnquick or accept that someone else is going to live your dreamand not you. What you need to do to become the person in your dream is towork out the difference between your life now and what it is youneed to be the person in your dreams. You need to work out what skills you need and how you are goingto achieve them. You need to work out what knowledge you needand where you are going to get it. You need to work out whereyou are going to find the time to do this and how it is going tobe paid for. You need to ask yourself if you are prepared to putin the hard work and long hours that are required to get you towhere you want to be. Many of the best actors and actresses in the country went to ahighly competitive stage school to learn their craft. Studentsof these schools have to work long hours and extremely hard justto survive, never mind stand out as a future star. But stageschool doesn’t even begin there. Entry to the best academies iscompetitive and you need to prove to them that you have ‘what ittakes’ just to get in. You need to have been performing in playsand stage shows prior to applying. You need to show that youhave a track record of excellence in acting. Can you prove this? On your way to your dream position you need to LEARN all of thethings that will be necessary when you are in that position. You need to work backwards from your dream and calculate all thesteps required to get to where you want to be. A lawyer, forexample, needs a law degree. Depending where you intend to studyplaces can be very competitive so you need to have good schoolor college grades prior to getting in to university. Don’t thinkthat you can just turn on your school work in the last couple ofyears prior to university – you need to work hard at school inall your subjects, in all your year groups, to achieve therequired grades. So, if you still want to live your dream and you are prepared toput in all the hard work and effort to get you to where you wantto be then I wish you good luck. But consider one thing, if you are not going to put in all ofthis hard work or you mistakenly still think that it is stilljust going to happen to you, what are you going to end up doingto provide you with the money you need to live? Probably thesame thing as most people in their routine jobs. Start to enjoy learning. Learn the things that you areinterested in. Find out how to improve your learning to make itmore useful to you. Become an expert in whatever field you wantto excel in. Set yourself some goals and start today. Oh yes, and the person that told me that they wanted to become amagician has now been making a good living that way for over 10years. He has performed on more than one occasion to PrinceCharles, the future King of England. He has also performed for ahost of other celebrities and even topped the bill on New Year’sEve at the ‘6 star’ BURJ AL ARAB hotel in Dubai. Live the dream.
