1. Learn to cook some simple basic meals and become a rockstar at it. For instance spaghetti bolognese. Not fancy dishes - just something plain and simple. Learning to cook is the most important skill in your life - you will have to do it the rest of your life. You can probably impress girls by it too.
2. If you had the choice between learning a new language and learning mathematics choose the language. You can always learn mathematics but when you grow old you will struggle with the right pronounciation of new languages.
3. Education I: Education is overrated. Most people believe (even governments) that having a degree will safe your ass - and save the future of the entire country. Many people end up with useless degrees after finishing university. If you are good at something do it right away - you dont need a university degree, even though your parents and society believes so. A university degree will cover up your "faults" in a nice package.
4. Education II: Understand that your choice of university degree will have a massive impact on your future income (remember you will never become rich/wealthy but still stay in the upper middle class). If studying either law, medicine, finances (economics) or become a commercial pilot, you will end up with a much bigger income than for instance engineering. It is not fair - but understand this is how things have developed in society the last 100 years (You cant change the wind but you can adjust your sails). Some people understand this and only take the degree for the future income even though they dont like the future job.
5. Education III: After some years many people want to climb the corporate ladder and become a leader. They take MBA classes and leadership courses etc to become a good leader. But understand you can never become a good leader - either you have it (you are born with it) - or you dont. As a leader you have to manage many different personalities - and most people cannot do that.
4. Get into investment at a young age - even if you dont have money. Understand that most wealthy people either inherited money or had success doing investments. Only very rarely people become rich being hard working or having a university degree.
5. Watch out for your teeth and visit a dentist regularly. If you dont take care at a young age it will cost you a fortune when you get older.
