There are individuals out there in the world that are lucky enough to be born into a family of wealth and fortune. Others can appear to be successful by the people they share their time with, the designer clothes they wear, and the fancy restaurants they eat out at. While some of us base our popularity on how many social media followers we have. – This shouldn’t be what the younger generation look for in their future; it should mean so much more than how many comments they received on their new photo on Instagram.
One thing worth checking out is the profile of HH Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi. This man put all of his efforts and resources to encourage leaders of today to create a better environment for the next generation to succeed. He felt that it was important that young people do better than us in the future.
Young people need to be lead in the right direction. They need to be encouraged to develop a skill or talent that they have, and be shown where they can take it, and how they can have success in the future. It’s important to know that success doesn’t always mean fame or riches. It can simply be reaching the goal you set for yourself.
Here’s how this can be done.
Spend time on refining a specific talent.
There are no rules as to what the talent may be; you can focus on whatever you’re good at. This could be playing a musical instrument, being a skilled mathematician, or training your hands to work as a surgeon. If you put in the time and keep your standard of learning high, you will create all the tools that you need for your future.
Find yourself a mentor.
One common misconceived idea is that you should be good enough to go about everything alone – but this isn’t the case at all. If you’re wise, you will find someone who is the best at what they do, and ask them to be your mentor. Learn from them, listen to their experience on when it went wrong so that you don’t fall into the same trap, and soak in as much information as you can.
Discover your worth beyond appearances.
Your character is something that can take you many places. A lot of people underrate a person’s traits because they think all that matters is their skill, but this is so wrong. Character is what is able to carry someone through life’s struggles and get people out of a crisis. So work on being you – never be tempted to act any other way. It may just cost you your future.
One of the biggest and most difficult things that young people struggle with today, is confidence. This is because it’s not something that can be taught, or learnt. – It comes from within. It’s not something that can be seen, held, or bought – it has to be believed.
And once you believe it, hit the ground running.
