Do these 7 things before twenty!)=(!
Being a little boy/girl when you step on the doorstep of the school with a bag on your shoulder, it's one of the best moment for you when you make new friends, lots of fun, lots of incidents, lots of memories!
Even If you think about those time suddenly, it does surprise you, how quickly time passes?
Now you are grown up, with all kinds of dreams in your eyes, cannot imagine how quickly those days will passed from life.
Undoubtedly School life is the best time where we do so many things for the first time and I'm sure everyone has their own story about school life. When school life ends we started to think about many things for our future.
Now most people pass the time by studying and surfing online. Believe me, there is much more to do, than to know what's written in the book!
The world have infinite possibilities, there is a huge world beyond keeping track of test suggestions and how many goals someone has scored, there is a lot to see, there is a lot to know.
So before you step on the threshold of twenty, do these seven things, these are enrich your life experience and takes you one step ahead!
1. Develop skills in various subjects
When I'm in collage I have a lot of friends who sometimes come up to me and say, “Dude, you need to do something. How long to sit and eat with your parents? Let's stand on our own feet!”
I punched the table with enthusiasm.
"Great idea! Tell me what to do?"
But surprisingly, they shake their heads for a while and say, really! What can be done?
We tend to think after all these years of study, we have yet to develop a skill that is neither of any use in the world, nor can we earn some money!
Today students have computers in their homes, smartphones in their hands, many opportunities to work online. You can learn PowerPoint, Excel, video editing, graphics designing, etc. at home by watching YouTube tutorials. You can't even imagine how useful these skills will be in the future!
2. Learn a new language
There is something very interesting about learning a new language, just by learning Mandarin, you get the opportunity to chat with a billion people in the world!
A language has some unique beauty, and that beauty can never expressed by translation, when you learn that language and talk to them using that language, you will be surprised to see how strange the world is!
Today the Chinese are doing business all over the world, you can't imagine how much you will be prioritized in employment when they see that you can speak their language.
There are many language learning channels on YouTube, including Spanish, German, Mandarin, Japanese, etc. You can learn any language you want little by little every day!
3. Work in a place of love
You may love playing football, but your desire to become a player died on the field long ago due to the pressure of your parents "my child will be a doctor and engineer".
So it's all over?
Not at all! Maybe you have a good voice and can work as a sports commentator. If you have good handwriting, you can write sports columns in the newspaper. If you don't become an engineer, make a football app!
Set goals and start working from now, very few people are lucky enough to work in the field of choice, why miss this opportunity?
4. Try to achieve something on your own!
Suppose you go to an interview and they asked, “Tell me what are your achievements in life. What quality sets you apart from others?”
Sadly a majority of us have done nothing exceptional so we can say it's a good “achievements” and most of us are tells about their academic expertise like grade or certificates!
Do you have any accomplishments that set you apart?
No matter if you don't. You can create it for you now. It could be something very simple - you came first in a school race, your essay won first prize in a story writing competition, and you made some funny videos on YouTube which got a million views overnight!
How many different ways to achieve success, but why sit?
5. Be active in various clubs in school and college
A lot of people have a snotty attitude about clubs, "nothing happens in these clubs, boys just hang out and waste time!" It is hard to imagine how wrong this idea is.
There are many clubs in schools and colleges - science clubs, debate clubs, the experience you will gain by working in them, you will learn a lot of things, you will develop a wonderful circle of friends, there is no comparison.
To give a small example, in our collage days my classmates from the debate club traveled to nine countries in Europe to participate in a debate!
First I can't believe it, I studied at home and got maybe five marks higher on the exam while they worked in the club in college.
But they have achieved one quality that is how to debate, with this one quality they have traveled to nine countries, I have nothing to do but sit and watch and bite my nails!
So join different clubs, and be active, it's gives you some surprise experiences that will benefit you later in life.
6. Read many books, watch movies
There is a very good quote - "A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies."
This world is so big that it's impossible to visit the whole world, so it's necessary to read variety of books! By reading books or watching movies, you are getting that opportunity at home!
It's amazing how much a good book and a good movie can impact a life. Our honorable late president and aerospace scientist Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam wrote amazing books like "Wings of Fire" or the famous "The Shawshank Redemption" have changed the lives of many people.
So to enrich your life, develop the habit of reading lot of good books and watching good movies.
7. Know your country
Motherland, dearer than life, how much do you know about your birthplace? The most beautiful feeling in the world is love for the motherland, this feeling is inside you when you know about it in detail.
For example I'm incredibly lucky to be born in India, But later in my life when I came to know the heritage, culture and huge glory of India suddenly it widens my mindset and I feel grateful.
I know there are several freedom fighters who are the unsung heroes, do you know their wonderful stories of self-sacrifice? ( I know and share with you in another article).
This dear motherland of ours, wrapped in countless stories of many possibilities, loves, indomitable glory, and sad sacrifices - if you don't know your own history, then it's not worth it!
That's why I think a young man or woman should know or do all these things at the age of 20 or 21 so that he/she can create a good foundation for future life.
In youth, our body and mind is full with intensity and during this time one can be easily influenced so if we can follow correct path and able to understand right and wrong during this time then we can develop ourselves properly.
Hope this methods helps someone to create the right ambience for life.
Wish you all the wonderful members of WA a great day from the core of my heart.
Be happy and do good things in life.

These are awe-inspiring ideas; I am going with the ChatGPT, trying to work out an algorithm, and learning Japanese. I also have purchased a lot more software to learn and grow. Thank you for sharing and as always!
Chatgpt is paid service or one can try it for free? Why there is lots of hype using AI? Once I use open ai and it somehow works fine for me.
