If you thought saving was enough, probably you missed out on the global finance and the dynamics of national economy which factors in the GDP. This simply means the value of Rs.100 today will not be the same 5 years later and as a matter of fact, it would be lesser than its value today. For example – A salary of Rs.3000 in the year 1990 was decent. But this might work out to be less, even for your current electricity bill if you use just one AC at home.

We learn from everything we do, everybody we meet, everything we see .
It’s a constantly changing world and if you don’t keep up, you just might get too slow to catch up. We have always heard of the fact that every day is a new beginning. But what’s it that begins? It’s a ray of hope towards a new idea, a new discovery, a new invention or a new creation that gives way to the evolving way of life.

What ever it might be, life always moves ahead and you always grow in the process. And the experiences you gather in the interim are your treasured assets towards the knowledge you gather.
8- Learn to give back to the society and do something for others.
Giving back to the Society
The world is progressing and getting busier day by day. More humans, machines, competition etc.. Everything more but emotions, and the time for sensitivity towards each other. Due to the aggressive rat race around, people have become more ignorant about the human emotions. That’s one thing which needs to be practiced daily for yourself and for the generations you will lead to make it more humane rather than being over mechanised.
As they say, the only thing that you would miss the most in the evolving age of humanoids is humans.
Ex- Every successful person or organisation has always worked for a cause towards a better human life, which has led to growth. Its more towards the greater society instead of just being centred around money alone, which is rather for a short term gratification.

Evaluate the value and logical utility of the decisions you take.

10- Set a Goal.
Have a Goal
A ship in the sea would keep wandering if it doesn’t have a destination to reach or a course to follow. Likewise, a person without a goal would keep moving in divergent directions with less focused approach towards an intended outcome.
Though the course can sure change based on scenarios, however the goal stays still and keeps inspiring the captain of the ship to keep at it. Similarly the actions and decisions of an individual can change based on scenarios, while the goal stays the same till it is achieved. Therefore there can be alternative paths more suitable and leading to the goal in a more convenient manner. However with the fast transitioning the goals too might transform towards even higher levels to attain, where agility marks the key to success.
These were a few crucial amongst the many things that you should do early in life to succeed or realize your goals early than many.
