Too many high expectations from a very young age!
Questions on Quora like:
- What should I know by the time I am 20? [nothing, just live and enjoy, make mistakes and see how it goes]
- How do I become a millionaire by the time I am 28? [who knows, and who cares… see why below]
- What is one thing you would have liked to know when you were 18? [nothing! I am grateful I lived in my own, pink bubble and my parents didn't tell me how difficult it was going to be]
I am 34 and have no kids, but if I had them, I would be terrified by the expectations they would have to perform from a very young age.
We are all required to keep updated, review and adjust ourselves… but for what? There is no certainty that if you do it
- Your employer will retain you or promote you
- Your partner will stay with you
- Your life will be better.
Of course, hard work is great, but sometimes also little work is good. Of course, you should aim for the best, but also appreciate what you have and make the most of it!
Live now. With what you have. It’s OK if you are not the CEO of a company. Or you are not working towards it. You might be happier living in a less stylish house but closer to the people that really matter to you.
Celebrate yourself today, with or without great achievements. You deserve it.
