Just because I feel like it.

I know I was supposed to disclose on the aforementioned book but I'm in the mood to write something else.

Have you ever come across a situation where you're witnessing your friends talk amongst themselves and it hits you that these people, the 'y' generation, are the people that are currently being heavily scrutinized and observed upon by the society? I know I've posted a few posts about growing up but this is different. Has it ever hit you, that no matter how much you say you'll grow out of this cycle, you will somehow be the person you are now in twenty years to come?

You have one friend who is an amazing candidate for handling great events for the community and he might just be the next finance minister in the cabinet. You have one friend who is super amazing in fashion, she might just be the next Malaysian, bound to receive international recognition for her flair in fashion. You have one friend who is obsessed with filmmaking, he might just be the next Christopher Nolan, who knows? What I'm saying is, at this point, we are heavily developing our own characteristics, personality and interests. There are no more room for multiple personalities to test on, no more room for having one thousand interests and being a master of none and definitely no more room to just kick back and relax. What we are now, would be the people we are bound to be in the rest of the years to come. We are old enough to recognize our true potentials and having said that, it would also be too late to have others try to change your mindset almost immediately. In short, we have to be careful a this prime of age, as to who we choose to be, what we choose to indulge in and whom we choose to get close to.

For all of the above will affect our future. I am not one to say but I believe that by the time you're 21, you're going to be pretty much fixed personality and habit wise and it's vital to foresee that what we opt for, brings out the best in ourselves and reflects our potential, almost accordingly.
