  • Advice I would give to my teenage self

    What advice would you give to your teenage self?

    The one advice I would give to my teenage self is a higher education degree does not necessarily correlate with a higher salary.

    Sure, it depends on the speciality but is not necessarily true for all degrees. In my case, all my degrees are liberal arts degrees.

    Another thing I’d add is that being a high paid employee doesn’t guarantee financial freedom. At the end of the day, employees are taxed. And especially more when they’re on the higher tax bracket.

    So, I’ll encourage my teenage self to explore the entrepreneurship path as well. This will come along with other skills to be developed as well.

    Anything else you’ll like to add that you want to advise to your teenage self?

  • Believe in Yourself

    Believing in yourself is a fundamental element of success and happiness in life. It means having a strong sense of confidence, self-worth, and trust in your abilities, talents, and potential. It is about having a positive mindset and a can-do attitude toward life’s challenges and opportunities.

    When you believe in yourself, you are more likely to:

    • take risks
    • pursue your dreams and goals
    • handle setbacks with resilience and determination

    You have a sense of purpose and direction that guides you toward success and fulfillment.

    Believing in yourself is not just about having blind faith in your abilities. It also involves developing self-awareness and a growth mindset. It requires acknowledging your strengths and weaknesses and having the willingness to learn and improve continuously.

    To cultivate self-belief, it is essential to surround yourself with positive influences such as:

    • supportive friends and family
    • mentors
    • role models who inspire you.

    Additionally, taking care of yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally is crucial by engaging in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment.

    Remember, self-belief is not something that happens overnight, but it is a process that takes time, effort, and patience. As you develop a stronger sense of self-belief, you will find that your life becomes more meaningful, fulfilling, and successful. So, believe in yourself, trust in your abilities, and don’t be afraid to take on life’s challenges with confidence and resilience.
