Letter to my younger self
Have been in a pensive mood. Maybe it is because of my pending move. But I have been turning the idea of this letter to my younger self over in my head. Corny, I admit, but still, isn't that what a blog is for?
These are the things that I have learnt now that I wish I could have told myself when I was younger.
1) If you spend all your time worrying about how others see you, you'll never find the time to discover who you really are. Don't worry about impressing others. It is you, you'll have to live with down the road.
2) It is the people in your life that matters. In the end, it is the people you have that matters.
3) Don't worry about making mistakes. They are opportunities for you to learn.
4) Don't worry about competing with your peers. The real competition is with yourself.
5)Changes don't happen in a day. Sometimes all you can do is plant the seed for change, you may never witness that change, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't keep trying. Just don't be disappointed when you don't see it come to fruit. Because, things really do work in mysterious ways.
6) It is perfectly okay to be laughed at.
7) Treasure the time you have with your parents, because the time you have with them will end.
8) People will tell you to plan ahead. It's a good idea to plan ahead, but just know that plans change.
9) Your health is the foundation of all parts of your life, so take care of yourself.
10) When people tell you that it all comes down to how you look at things. It is true. Take one more look, or two, before you make up your mind about things.
