Maybe its something we tell ourselves - I'll do that when I'm older- or maybe its something that has been indoctrinated into the youth of today.
I recently turned 18 ... but I'm still too young to change the world... right? Wrong!
By the age of 18, Alexander Graham Bell had started to invent the telephone, Louis Braille started creating the Braille alphabet for the blind when he was just 16! Worse than that, Thomas Edison was only 14 when he started to invent the light bulb! Hearing this personally puts me to shame! There are no excuses for being too young, it is often said that a youthful mind is a more open mind so maybe this is the optimum period for new discoveries.
However we are all unique, its our Human of Being!
We all have different talents, passions, interests, tastes ... It makes us who we are!
Therefore each person has their own skills to put forward and make use of, because I say, you're never too young to change the world! Or at least do something that people wouldn't expect of a young person today.
So get out there, leave your mark on this world, be unforgettable... and always remember to be happy! I guess this is the point where I use the overused but highly relevant phrase YOLO ('You Only Live Once' for those of you have been living in a bubble!) or as I was taught by a French exchange student this week "On ne vit qu'une fois!"
Enjoy
