OLD

im 19 years old. next year i will be 20. TWENTY. 

so what am i doing right now that isn't very adult-like?? why dont i feel like an adult or act like an adult..

1. I don't work very hard

- An adult works hard because he knows what life is. He knows there are no shortcuts in life and that laziness is deadly.

2. I waste too much time

- An adult knows the value of time because he knows what life is. He realizes how quickly his youth has escaped him, and knows that soon he will become an old man, if he lives long enough. He knows that life is fragile. 

3. I dont look into the future enough

- An adult plans for the future because he knows what life is. He knows that if he doesn't prepare for tomorrow today, when tomorrow comes he will be in a situation he cannot change. If you live only for today, you are powerless. You have absolutely no control over your future because your present day has been made by yesterdays decisions. And if you are too busy to fix today's problems because of yesterday mistakes, how will you find the time to prepare a good day for tomorrow? this is all very vague i know, but what i have in mind is this: where are you in life right now? the situation you are in. Are you happy with your life right at this moment? Whether happy or not, it is vital to realize how you got there. What things have you done in life to get you to where u are right now? what can you do today in order to get you to where you want to be in the future? 

"Knowledge is power" is so wrong. Knowledge is EVERYTHING. what is the point in life other than to understand the meaning of it? The point in life is to gain knowledge and wisdom so that in the end you will be right back where you started, only now you know where you are and who you are. 

explanations:

My idea of an "adult" is one who is done with the physiological and hormonal influences of their body and is able to make decisions based on their wisdom.
