Sometimes, it’s hard to believe that the one who refuses to take our side are our parents. But, there is always a way around for your ideas to be realised.

In this episode of the Truth 4 The Youth Podcast, Garth talks about how you can take advantage of this digital world, how you can make your parents jump into your dreams, and how to finally start pursuing them. Everything won’t sound as hard as they are if you start believing in yourself. Garth shares stories of why we shouldn’t be constrained by age limits. One can start as young as he is to be an entrepreneur and one can begin as old as he is to be a music player. Start tuning in to be inspired and to learn more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Everything’s changing. Even the place you grew up in already changed. Most of the areas in our childhood memories have been turned into something that caters to the digital world.
• Age is but a number. You can start pursuing what you dream of whenever you want. There is no age limit also for dreams.
• It’s common that adults would give you advice, most of the times relative to their experiences during their generation. Sometimes, it becomes repetitive for you but always know that your parents just want best for you.
  • It was more difficult living when it was your parent’s time. So what you can learn from their stories are perseverance, hard work, and motivation.
• Do what you need to do. Make use of how natural and hyperconnected is the world now. You have to push for the idea that you believe in.

BEST MOMENTS

• “You’re gonna find out that you will have extremely limited time to spend your money on whatever time you have left.”
• “Why would anybody start to be 40 to start life?”
• “Your success lies in following your own pathway.”
