BYJUites’ piece of advice to their 18-year-old selves ?

Team StoryWeavers|November 25, 2020, 08:32 IST| 104
Follow us on,

What are the things that often come with age? 

Extra candles on your birthday cake? Umm…yes

Weight? Err… More often than not!

Wisdom? We wish!

Bills and EMIs? Yes and yes

Social obligations? Totally! 

More responsibilities? Ugh… don’t even get us started!

Our perspective sure does change with time. But at some point, have you looked back and thought, “I wish I knew then what I know now!”

So this International Youth Day, we asked BYJUites to travel back in time and let us know that one thing they would advise their 18-year-old selves. The answers were insightful, witty and some — downright hilarious!

Here’s what BYJUites had to say:

We have made a lot of beautiful memories in our teenage years, made our share of mistakes, learnt from them and eventually moved on. All this shaped us into being the person that we are today. 

Now that you have a better understanding of the world, tell us what is that one piece of advice you would give to your younger self, in the comments section below!

Normalize finding love in your 40’s . Normalize discovering and chasing new dreams in your 30’s. Normalize finding yourself and your purpose in your 50’s . life doesn’t end at 25. Lets stop acting like it does.

I believe childhood is the golden period of our life. We live in an imaginary world until life gets challenging with age. But, we should never kill the kid within us. We should learn to handle it wisely and enjoy its beautiful presence within ourselves. A kid always has a magic to spread smile and positivity.

I would tell myself that it’s okay to think about yourself. It’s absolutely fine to be selfish at times. Be happy with what you have today.. don’t ruin today thinking about the future. Would make myself believe in being content with what I have instead of running behind what I want.
And yes I would love to tell this to myself today as well — DON’T RUN BEHIND ANYTHING OR ANYONE. WHAT’S YOURS WILL COME YOUR WAY!
