TWENTIES : What will you like to achieve in your early twenties?

Twenties 

      Mr Scuttlebutt smirked, his stern gaze on his students as he plodded, leaning on the entrance door which had "Eight grade" inscribed on it. He drummed his neatly trimmed fingers on Jane's desk - a plump, obese and red-haired girl with large spectacles resting on her pointed nose. He levelled down gently, his files after glancing across the lecture room. He could see them all and their bustling and excited nature dominating the classroom. 

          " Gonna get myself a car, Dude! Basketball will still be my thing though. " Mr Scuttlebutt heard Derrick - the skillful basketballer said, beaming.

           "Fashion will be my priority and I'll have everyone see my light and glory! They all should know we Negro have got class too. " Henrietta, a black - American girl yelped aloud like a chorister would raise her angelic voice to praise Christ, her savior.

             "Will explore, go round the world and learn new things! I love to explore. " Jolly proclaimed, almost sheepishly with gaze on her pink shoes. Mr Scuttlebutt rose from Jane's desk, his brown pants matching his tie. He smiled and shook his head dissapointedly - a bit appalled about the responses to his question "Before you are 25, what will you like to achieve "

             "One's twenties must be spent well or one will end up regretting forever. " He added, walking towards the big white board. 

Maybe it should be "a fool at twenty five is a fool forever "? Agreed? Maybe? Maybe not? But one would agree that one's twenties is a crucial moment for a decision made at this stage determines the outcome of the future. Find me a 24 year old who's yet to know what profession he would like to take up or a skill he/she will like to learn and I'll marvel unendingly. It's no doubt but a certainty that at this period, how rightfully you live and do things will determine how right and pleasing your life will be! 

At this stage, there are three major truth you'll get to know.

It's crazy to conform - You'll realise trying to please others or to be like that person you admire was one crazy thing to do. Being you will not only exclude you from making a foolery out of yourself but will also enable you to create, re-create and be that person you were born to be! 

Facing your fear is expedient - By then, you sure will realise if you never faced your fears, success will be difficult for you for there's need to embrace your flaws, work on it, step on fear and this will make you attain success! 

Know your worth - You'll meet so many people, those you will be glad you met and vice versa. The ones you'll like to talk about and the ones you'll act like you never knew! By then, experiences will shape you into a better person, you'll be careful of the value you place on yourself, stand your ground when treated unfairly. 

Top ten things I'll like to achieve in my early twenties!
