Did you fantasize about becoming a president or the world's richest or had those fantasies when you were a child? Some were just silly thoughts or lemme call it "wildly ambition"? I guess most of us did when we were young. We imagined all sorts of things. For some of us, I guess, while some of those imaginations did not pan out, others have been achieved with hard work.
When I became adult, I understood one thing in life "Life is short and time wait for no one. I wish I had mentors, people who were always sharing their experiences with me when I was young. Life would have been more easier and lots of my aspirations would been achieved. Life is like going on journey, you need a map and this would mean your personal development, skills education, network and experiences that help you to achieve your goal.
Apart from the map you still need guide(Mentors) . Map gives you direction or the general sense of the path ahead, while guide will give you personal advise, support insights and wisdom to navigate your way to your final destination. They say opportunity comes but once, I say it comes many times. Opportunities comes many times but in different forms and different times for different people.
If you're still within time and among different set of people you can still grab an opportunity. But the most important thing to know is to prepare for them and be on the lookout. It's important for us to prepare ourselves all times by being time conscious. Failure to do so can let opportunities slip away. We need to be student of time and make judicious use of time.
For those who are young, get this: when you're young, you have fewer responsibilities and fewer expenses to cover. It's really a nice time because others may bear certain responsibilities for you. But it's the best time to invest in yourself: learn new skills, chase dreams, and build a future you'll love.
We are born to achieve great things at any age. But there's a sweet spot, a time when taking action is most effective. It's akin to finding that perfect bargain at a sale, if don't grab it soon, someone else will.
The key is to become a "time conscious person." Time is a precious resource and we see it's best rewards when we learn to manage it well. Some use theirs wastefully on endless scrolling or activities that leave them feeling empty. Using time judiciously would mean more to me like using it on things that add value to your life, like learning a new skill or starting that passion project.
Remember, time waits for no one. Many miss out of opportunities because they fall into the trap of thinking "there's always tomorrow." Of course there is always tomorrow, but it may present something different for different people. Seize the day, if you've got the chance, do it while you can because someday, you might look back and realize the best deals at the garage sale of life are gone. Instead of waiting?
