5 things to consider while young?

5 things to consider while young?
1) carrying the burden of having/raising a baby (of your own) will set your career/financial prospect back years and maybe for life. Life will change forever, if a baby comes into being before your career is being established.
2) speaking a second or third language (especially Spanish and Chinese) will help your career tremendously, directly or indirectly
3) set a life goal -- not necessarily have to be very specific. Can be as general as acquiring basic skills, such as speech, grammar, and mathematics, before high school graduation. The longer the skill set is formed, the more difficulty to make up later.
4) choose your friends carefully -- some friends only give you short-term joy but long-term pain; true friends are precious and true friendship lasts the life time and hard to form after schools;
5) avoid drugs, smoking, gambling, and other habit-forming activities that can ruin lives.
