Reading this made me stop for a moment and think about mine. It actually made me want to try doing a reflection like this, too. I wonder how things might have turned out if I had known a bit more.
I’m curious though, did anyone ever give you advice like this when you were younger?
I feel like even if someone had told us all these things back then, I don’t think we would’ve followed them anyway hahaha we didn’t have the maturity yet to understand why those skills (and being consistent) mattered. idk anong pinagkakaabalahan mo when you're younger tho hahaha
In a way, I get why some parents push their kids into extra activities or classes they don't even enjoy. Back then I used to think it's exhausting pero now I kind of see the intention of planting seeds for skills we’d only understand years later.
If someone said life starts in their 30's, it's probably one of these moments where I realize it makes sense now.
Di ko rin gets yan dati but now, I couldn't agree more. Well, I’m not there yet but close enough to feel it and I already have so many realizations.
I got the advices from the books I've read. I didn't have any real role model to lead me to the path of becoming rich since no one around my social circle was while growing up. I think I just took more notice when I was on my teens becomes the books became more complex and better. Mga mystery novels na minsan may pa dialogue about life/money yung character na napapaisip lang minsan. When they think of what they thought about why some other characters go into debt and making poor decisions moments.
I agree with this statement. That's why I don't really hold childhood me accountable for missing those chances. But I think things would have changed if someone was there to consistently guide us to the right path. I learned this part from talking to those that grew up in a Fil-Chinese culture.
Ito na talaga dis.
Pasulyap sulyap kay crush at mag pa bibo sa teacher.
I forgot na andyan parin pala age mo sa calendar. Pero totoo, you can see the landscape na and get a few years in advance to change things. I've been thinking how much a single month of dedicating to learning a marketable skill can compound with interest later in life. Maybe it's time to reflect nga what your current version should be doing so that your future version wouldn't make a post about not doing it now.
Good luck and take care~
