Advice:
My advice is to learn about world issues and the different viewpoints people have about them. That will help you better understand how you feel about an issue, and help you see things from different perspectives. Seek out people who are different from you and learn from them. I think it is also so important for young people to learn about finances – how to manage their money. Learn how to save money, use coupons, shop sales. Understand what are wants and what are needs. Learn about the stock market, learn how to balance a checkbook. These are such important life skills. My final piece of advice is very simple – be kind. Treat others how you want to be treated. You can be very successful in life and your career.. and still be kind.
