Restructure your life

Qaiser Rizwan Abbasi

Have you ever heard people saying youth is the most crucial-cum-complex age in one’s life? Do you realise that you are the chief executive officer (CEO) of your life, who is bound to make all the important decisions of your life? Haven’t you noticed your parents keeping a vigilant eye on your actions and practices because you are still not an adult? Haven’t you experienced people asking you about your goals in life because you are at the crossroads in your life? Haven’t you had people telling you “Do something great that can justify your existence in this world”? Certainly, you must have heard these things countless times, especially if you are stepping into your teens or are already there. Habits play a significant role in life, especially a youngster’s life. This can either build you or destroy you. The good habits can help young people to balance out a cramped schedule and increasing responsibilities, and get over with this stage of life successfully. “Following are few habits which are the quintessential element of their lives which make them unique and successful

And a successful person is able to control his own destiny rather than be driven and remote-controlled by other people. Being positive towards others A sense of competition and an eagerness to win come naturally to humans. But the ability of positively channelling this sense of competition is what makes people successful. This means that such people not only perform well, and produce fruitful results, but also let others learn and succeed.

Understand others

There is a wise saying: “The greatest mistake we make in our relationships: we listen half, understand quarter, think zero and react double.” This is so true for most of us. Successful teenagers tend to listen to people carefully, understand the words and scenario before jumping to the conclusion.

Build teamwork

I know that 2+2=5 seems odd and unrealistic, doesn’t it? But this is what happens when you work in groups. Successful youngsters try to build their group, assign work, promote brainstorming and succeed through effective leadership qualities. They believe in collective wisdom.

Keep improving your life

Successful youngsters keep on sharpening themselves while accessing new knowledge, learning different skills and making new friends. They keep a balance between four components: the body, brain, heart and soul.
