You’re 25-years old and have your whole life ahead of
you, or at least that’s the plan. You also have been
firmly convinced that you know everything. Let me tell
you, you don’t.
But for those who’d like to listen, here is a little advice
from old folks about mistakes you do not want to make
while you’re young. Some will haunt you for life.
1) Getting married to the wrong person , too soon –
there’s no law stating that you have to get married in
your twenties. There should be a law against marrying
the wrong person without seriously considering the
consequences . Ending a bad relationship is difficult.
Ending a bad marriage is anightmare . You have the rest
of your life to fall in love, don’t rush it.
2) Neglecting your health – You’re young, slim and
looking good, with no exercise and a horrible diet. Just
wait a few years, when you are gaining weight that
never goes away or your hooked up to some machine
because you’ve spent your whole life smoking or
drinking. Start good habits now and they will stay with
you for life.
3) Not investing in your future – you think that dropping
out of school is the right thing to do? Let’s hope you’re
not 40 years old hating yourself for not making the right
decision. If you fail to plan today, you are throwing
tomorrow into the garbage. Also, you should start
saving for retirement now, not when you have enough
money. You’ll never feel like you have enough.
4) Choosing a career for money and nothing else –
Money feels really good the first time you receive it.
Then, over time, the impact diminishes. You’ll be
addicted to the paycheck, of course, but it won’t make
you feel good about getting up every day for a job you
hate. Find a profession that helps you to earn a decent
living, while also giving you some joy, or start a
business on the side. It’ll truly impact your quality of
life.
5) Neglecting the importance of family – Family is all
you’ve got most of the time. That love interest who
swears he’ll be by your side forever probably won’t, but
a good parent or sibling always will. Also, if you have
kids, you should realize that these are the precious
times, and also the time when you’ll be forming that
lifelong foundation. Don’t blow it.

The difference between who you are and what you want to become is WHAT U DO

Life is all about decision and choices. Either good or bad, consequences awaits us.

Good one @ OP

OP you are on point. Am wise enough to know these things now... Thanks for the reminder.

Good one.

My uncle several years ago got two jobs. One with CBN, the other with Kwara water corporation. This happened in the 70's/80's. Kwara water corporation offered him around N66 while CBN offered far less. He chose Kwara water. He has retired with almost nothing to show for his years of service. We can easily picture what life would have been if he had chosen CBN back then.
As young people, money should never be the only reason for our decisions especially when it relates to careers. This is a grave mistake many youths are making.
