Focus of a 16 Year old

Some days ago a boy asked this question on Quora, “What should a 16-year-old boy focus on in his life?” and I found this question quite enthralling. There are many people who do not know why they are going through life in an auto-pilot mode. Some know what to do with life, some do not, and some just wander their whole life. As the boy asked this question it was upon me to answer it or not, and I answered. This answer is not only for 16-year-olds but all kind of people of all age groups, struggling to find focus areas in their life.

Here’s is what people can focus on

Studies:- Study as much as You can, any topic, any subject read and study it. Make Wikipedia articles Your friends. Search about Your subjects in Wikipedia read it when You finish reading it, then click on references to read about it more. “The more you read in your teens the more you can absorb” my science teacher would tell that and I have followed it gracefully.

Career:– Read articles or magazines that are based on career, in India its Career 360. So read articles or magazines based on careers and continue to read about as much as careers You can. You will come to a point when You have to opt a career then, You will be too confused where to go. So, first make knowledge Your friend and read about careers and it’s prospects, when You have to decide what You want to study ahead, then You will already know what to study as You know each path, where it leads, You just have to walk the path and make wise decisions to move ahead.

Read books:- It is my favorite, every month I buy a Fiction along with a Non-Fiction, it builds my vocabulary and also my communication skills. So, read books, go to the nearby store find any book and read. Go to library and read. Read and Have depth of what you already know by reading more and new about the subject.

Build Your Intellect:– Yeah, build it, play chess, it makes You a better strategist of your problems and solutions. It also increases I.Q and builds Your critical thinking skills and makes Your a better decision maker. Play for at least 30 minutes with Your computer or Your friend. I suggest You play more with computer as it’s algorithm and logic can challenge each step You take and improve you game.

Get a Hobby:– Write, Play an instrument, Dance, Sing. I write mostly and read. So, get a hobby. Learn new skills and master them. If You have hobbies then You will never die in poverty. Master hobbies and entertain people around You.

Invest:– Invest monetarily and also psychologically. Invest psychologically, read books about self improvement then apply principles given it in. Investing in Yourself is the best investment You can find. Change Your habits, Your thinking, Your perspective and become better each day.

Invest Monetarily, I haven’t done that but looking forward to. Warren Buffet started investing in his early age before he became rich. So start investing early and spending less. Invest money in you bank account and begin saving, save big and increase it. Then invest in securities which are profitable and that assures regular income. Invest in long-term fixed assets. “You don’t need a degree, or education to become rich you just have to apply right thinking and make accurate investment decisions.” Don’t follow this advice but mark it.

Thank You.
