18.Looking back at my younger years,I am sometimes amazed at how life has turned out.(31)FThe only thing that stays the same is who I am,my values,and my interests.If I could go back in time and hang out with my younger self for a day,here's what I would tell her.
●Everything happens for a reason.
Without mistakes and failure,you would never have learned.Without pain,you would never have grown.Once you understand this,you will know that everything comes in to serve a purpose.So don't think that life is unfair,because everything happens for a reason.(32)C
●Focus on one thing at a time.
It is not surprising that many of us are doing too many things at once.We need to make ends meet.But if you are working three jobs at a time,it is not likely that you will succeed at any of them.You have to keep your eyes on the big picture.You have to ask yourself:What exactly do you want to achieve for the next 10years?Focus on one thing at a time.(33)A
●(34)E
You might be graduating or have hit a turning point with your career.You might feel a bit lost and unsure of where to go.It's okay.Go out there and try as many different things as you can.Don't ever feel like you're wasting your time.Enjoy the journey.Every little path will lead you somewhere.And looking back,you will be able to connect the dots.It will all make sense.
●Don't try too hard with people.
Don't worry if you feel like it's hard to make new friends.(35)DIt might take a while until you find new best friends and a mate for life,but when you do,you will know it.It's not hard work.So,just do your things and be yourself.
