Prajakta's Advice to 15 year self | Shekhar Arena

 'The best people you can contact at any point in your life are your parents. Believe me, they are pretty good listeners.'-Prajakta believes in this. If you are not aware about who prajakta is, Prajakta Koli aka MostlySane is  a leading female youtube content creator with 5.55 M subscribers at present. She has some advices to her 15 year self, some of which I believe is relevant to all. Let's see what see has in her bucket list.

You are worried, talk to your parents. You have self-doubt, talk to your parents. Basically consult them whenever required. They are pretty good listeners.

Prajakta advises to read as many books as we can. Read everyday. This is the most calming feeling you will ever have.

Make saving a habit. There are two ways to do this-Spend as per your needs and then save what's left. The second and effective one, suggested by Warren Buffet is put your savings aside and then spend. Let it be Rs 10 from your pocket money or, 20% of your payroll, just save!


Select your priorities. It's Ok to not have a plan. It's okay if things didn't go as per your plan. But what's important is you have set your priorities. Trust the process! It's worth your time.


See college as a project. A fun, personality development journey. Just filter out the negatives and enjoy this life-changing project.

Let me know which of these advises had a  impact on your life. Also, comment down your views and experiences.

Thanks.

    No doubt that the parents have more experience than us and that they have seen the world but at the same time it's also true that they have not seen the world that we are living in right now. And to be honest it is a lot different than the world they have seen

      It's not about how important or relevant their advice is to us. We always have someone to talk, someone who always think of our betterment!

    Sometimes parents don't understand us due to generation gap and also due to the conservative society we are living with... Maybe that's the reason we hides our problems.

      That's an issue but anyways you always have someone to talk to. This generation gap thing can always be minimized.

    Your parent could be your best friend. Like you share things with your buddies anything could be shared with them too to erase this generation gap....
    you can also engage yourself in doing things which you like the most....
    And save money for a surprise gifts to your parents.... and that will give you immense happiness than anything else.... you could then only witness the genuine love in the form of crytal water in thir eyes....
    and the most important thing to live life happily is to change your habits and follow a disciplined routine.
    Last but not the least be something for your parents ... prove yourself and and be proud kid of your parent and a pride for your teachers and friends.....
