Teenagers have a very different view on life to adults. Adults seem to want to stop you having fun. They are very quick to tell you that you can’t do this or you can’t do that and that you can’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 to living. They know that you have to find money to pay for food, clothing and accommodation. And they ‘think’ they know that the chances of you becoming famous, for example, are slim.
What do you want to do when you are older? Many teenagers tell me that they want to be an actress, a doctor, a lawyer, a motocross champion, a professional football player, a pop star, a computer programmer, a pilot, a soldier, a racing driver or an
astronomer. Someone even told me they wanted to become a magician.
Not many people tell me that they want to work in a hotel, work in an office, pick fruit or vegetables, cook food, repair cars, maintain roads or perform one of the hundreds of jobs that the majority of people do each and every day to keep a roof over their heads.
So what happened to all of those ‘everyday’ people, did they have the same dreams as you?
Yes, most people dream of great things when they are a teenager but very few go on to achieve them. What can you learn from them that will stop the same thing happening to you?
