Life is a sine wave. everything comes in waves; the good, the bad, the ugly. If you recognize this, then use it to your advantage. There are always critical points where everything changes direction, and you are left floating in a sea of ambiguity. You must no slip or stumble. If you put every ounce of energy into your endeavors, you will conquer! You will become the Merlin of poetry, the morgana lefay of music, or the dufresne of cinema. So summon your willpower and have it perform wonders at your command! Study even if you're inclined not to. Do your homework, finish your projects, even if you think you can't. Each phase of your life is a marathon; be proud of your training, and use it to finish. The only difference between a slacker and an all-star student lies in the effort one puts into their education. there is a corollary to this "effort theorem." If you do not try, you will not succeed. If you procrastinate in school, if you don't pay attention in class, you will be disappointed. You won't get the transcript you want, nor the education you deserve. Therefore, for the love of god, put effort into your life! When there is a will, there is always a way.
Above all, ask for help! Help is everywhere and within your reach if you but ask. Your classmates have knowledge that you need, and they will share it with you. Your teachers have solutions to your problems; they can give you extra credit and clarify any questions you may have. They can give you the materials necessary to ace their class. Teachers are your friends! They want you to do well! The same goes with your parents and college counselors. If you have a goal and you need help doing it, ASK. I learned this just recently, and it has made the difference in every aspect of my life since.
As a teenager, you are dumb. Clinically dumb. And this dumbness only goes away when you become an adult. You are also bipolar; your moods shift wildly every day. You need to not let it get to you. No mistake is fatal, no matter how bad it is. And however serious you think things are, they are NOT. So relax! Chill out and don't be afraid to laugh at your mistakes, and never dwell on them for any length of time. It's just not worth it.
Realize that your life is a pattern, a routine. You need that routine to function well, but don't make it completely inflexible. Do something every day that scares you. Make conversation with a new person. Never say no unless you have reason to. Never believe that you are an expert at something, because someone will always be better than you at it. Instead, always see yourself as a student and work to get BETTER. If you can do this, tell me how. Do not worry about what the future holds; most of it is neutral, some of it is very good, and some of it is downright awful. Nothing you do now has any effect on this big things of the future, therefore, live in the moment.
Children, learn from your elders. Elders, learn from your children. Both of you were born without wisdom and helpless, and you will die equally so. The knowledge you acquire from others and pass on is the greatest contribution you will EVER make to humanity besides having children. In this way does our society evolve. Therefore, to whoever reads this piece of literature: GO WRITE SOMETHING ON YOUR BLOG.
Thank you.
