One advice you would give to your younger self is an unpopular topic.
Do you ever listen to advice however well meaning? Have you read Lord Krishna’s version of it?(I couldn’t find the exact quote,just what I remember )

Time travel this week on Blogadda.This topic makes me very thoughtful.I would like to say so many things to my younger self.But if it’s one thing, I want to say continue studying hard.
”Continue studying hard, even history geography, civics, and languages which appear, not in line with your dreams.They will help you one day.They will make you a more compassionate person.They will help you wrIte your stories.”
When I see people worrying about study load and how hard schools are I wonder what to say.My mom never forced me.She just told me,
”If you want your dreams to come true.You have to work for it.”
No one gives you something for nothing.If you are useful, people will cherish your services, if you are innovative industries will employ you.If you are a storyteller people will want to hear your stories.But your earning capacity is directly proportional to how many people you help and serve.Not easy right?
Read all you can, as much as you can exactly how you are doing now.Maybe not exactly.Stop hiding those Agatha Christie’s in your history book.It’s not helping you.Just quickly get those studies over and then you can read all you want.

Go on reading those self-help books and articles and solving those papers.Everything will help one day.As the world changes, so do traditional ways of earning and making a difference.You don’t know when your extra curricular lets you earn more than your profession.

This is not a popular advice nor is an easy one.But there’s [bctt tweet=”no shortcut for doing well in life.” username=”misra_amrita”]The route is through algebra trigonometry, geometry, civics, and history depending on your nemesis.

So true, I wish i had made a decision on my talent rather than what was practically the right thing to do
So true, I wish I had gone in for further studies based on my talent rather than what was practically the right thing to do.
What a wonderful positive post. One advice I would love to give to my younger self is save you have a lifetime for saving money, right now have a little fun.
learning is a gift, having a passion for learning is a blessing #mg
work hard and make sure you look around at others while you are on your path, help whoever you can.

I always tell my girls, you have to work hard in this world to achieve what you want — be it school, ballet, sports. Hard work pays off. Great wisdom! #mg
That’s a good one, Amrita. Studies are very important though we tend to underestimate the importance of it when we are young.
Well said Amrita! Hard work is the key to scaling many mountains. And there is no short cut as well. And check out the rewards… they are astonishing!

I agree. One should do things in times when they should be done. Study, career, love, marriage, family- there is a time for everything in life. Else life can be a real mess.
Inspiring. Too often, we take things too seriously. Looking back, my English classes gave me more pleasure than Biology, and to this day I dont know how I ended up studying Medicine!
No shortcuts to success, there never were, there will never be!Thanks for sharing the tidbits!
If there is one piece of advice that I could give my younger self it would be to take risks and not be scared of failure. Failure is an opportunity, but it took me 35 years to realise this. Pen x #mg
So true. Although I’m not really academically inclined at some levels, I love to read and absorb information and I know that has stood me in good stead.
Such an important lesson, isn’t it? We should never stop wanting to learn and understand others. Thank you for sharing X #MG
I wish I had done more extra curricular activities when I was young. I was so studious that I missed out on a lot of things. Wonderful advice ????????
I was one of those people hiding books (not Agatha Christie, but others) in their classes because, for a time, I totally lost all interest. I’m not sure what advice I would give my younger self – so many words of advice to choose from, but I certainly would have told myself to pay more attention.
Some strong advice there, Amrita. Reminds me I had written a letter to my 16-year old too.. 🙂 It’s good to look back, right?
A very inspiring note to the self, Amrita. So much would have been different no, if we did all the right things that only came to us in hindsight?
I advice that i’ll give my younger self is to start working on my dreams at a young age. It took me 11 years working for someone else for eventually i made one of my dreams come true. Don’t wait to long, don’t be afraid and just do it.
This is the same advice my mom gave me and I shared this wisdom with my own children. Now I only pray they will share with their children as well.
