I don't know how young you are speaking. If you are talking about high school age, I'd say finish high school, then get a trade or be sure to go to college. I don't know if you are speaking of a career or making money right here right now. There are some opportunities on the web that you could search through and see if you are interested in those. Anyway, I wish you the best in whatever you decide. Have fun at mylot.

What makes you happy, that will give you a motivation. If you have the motivation, you will do your very best to keep the things that make you happy last. True meaning of success is HAPPINESS.

First they go to school and get an education. There is no substitute for a good education. I don't care what they want to be in life, they need the advantage of an education. Then they can apply their knowledge into being whatever they want to be. Young people need guidance and they can still realize their dreams but they must understand that this is a technologically advancing world and if they don't keep up they will be left behind with menial jobs.

Hello, Here are some things youth and young people can do! (1) put some money in IRA or 401k if they are working even if it only $10.00 a paycheck and it will add up over time. (2) Help others by doing good deeds like the homeless or old people in shelters especially over the Thanksgiving or Christmas (3) make sure you finish school high school and get a trade or some college if you have enough get 4 year degree (4) try to get your business running in spare time (5) excersise and keep healthy no bing drinking or drinking and driving (6) do not smoke it bad habit and bad for your health (7) Do what interest you and so one thing that you think you cannot do... challenge yourself you never know what you may learn about you and other people. I hope this helps. Thanks Unique16

Hello Natrez. You know, I don't think I'm not successful in this young age. I consider myself as successful whatever things will come to my life. Just living everyday is really a success to me.

Hi Natrez and welcome to myLot. Well, about your question, you cannot really summarize all the cases into one. I mean some are born with the talents and are destined to be successful like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. For some others, tough times teach them to work heard and strive to achieve their goals, like Steve Jobs and Albert Einstein. Fr some others even, parents nurture and prepare them to be successful. Take the stories of child prodigies who are Music maestros at a very young age or complete their graduation when you and me would be starting school.

Natrez, there are a lot of ways to be successful at young age. First thing you must do is to focus though it would mean giving up some unnecessary activities towards your goal - the success. Being focused will give you so much time in achieving it that it will be almost be able to do it. Next thing is to broaden your knowledge more especially in computer things. We are now in the technology era and someone who does not know how to use a computer will be left out with nothing. We must be competitive in finding jobs too or anything that suits us. Even in the online world, competition is always there. Next is that you got to think positive in order to welcome good vibes. Being pessimistic will not help. Why worry yourself if you could cheer it up?
