You are not too young to make waves, you are not too young to create ideas and you are not too young to make positive changes.
Some people let opportunities to progress pass by because they feel they are too young .
When will feel I can't do this...
Some important points about feeling too young.
When you say you are too young for some opportunity to progress, you should give specific reasons. For instance , it may be too early for you to take up a certain job because you would first want to obtain a degree at the university... ‘ i am too young ‘statement simply hides unfounded fear to take up the responsibility .
Watch out for two common bad reason that young people have when they refuse to take up certain responsibilities
One reason is the desire for further indulgence in laziness .They somehow feel that they are adults.
The other reason is the secret desire to indulge in evil practice for gaining some cheap thrills .They feel that youth should be a time to practice any sin, that the time to stop these sins is when they reach adult age or even when they have become too old to enjoy committing any sin. But this is wrong and unfortunate ,there is every chance that one may become so addicted to those sins that a person may fail to leave them behind.
There is a saying that says
