How to level up as a teenager?
This is a bit of an unusual video
that I'm making, because my audience
is mainly women who are over the age of 18.
But I am very much aware that I do have a younger audience also watching my videos.
We are on YouTube after all,
so I'm very much aware of that.
But I do want to reach out to you who are
under the age of 18 and watching my channel.
Something is probably interesting for you here
and of course, I do have some
advice to you that I wish
somebody would have told me when
I was a teenager growing up
and preparing myself for the life as an adult.
So here are some of my leveling up advice for you.
The number one thing I actually did myself,
but I want to recommend them to you as well.
That is to wait with becoming an adult
as long as possible.
With that I mean, if you can be
a child as long as possible,
if you can be a teenager as long as possible.
And when I say as long as possible,
I don't mean forever.
I just mean that you should really
enjoy the years you have
being a child, being a teenager
to the fullest because
those years you are never going to get back ever again.
You're going to be an adult for many
many many years.
So many years you're going to be
fed up with it at some point.
So make sure you enjoy!
Not obsessing about boys, not thinking about intimacy,
not thinking about
any of these things as adults.
Think about a lot.
Just enjoy the time you have now.
Really do it because it goes so quickly!
Now one of the most
important things I would definitely
tell anybody who is
still a student.
That is, study as hard as you possibly can.
I know it sounds like a cliche but
this is one of the best investments
you will ever do in your life.
The sad part is that we don't really
realize it when we're young.
What I'm trying to say,
try to get in to the best possible
college or university that you can.
If you can get into an Ivy League school,
that is of course the dream.
If you cannot then maybe a boarding school,
maybe some other prestigious school,
anywhere where you have a higher ratio
of affluent kids.
The more you can connect with affluent kids, the better.
You want to make friends with them,
you want to have them in your network.
When you start having
these people in your network,
you're also setting the foundation for the future.
Because those people that we meet when we are children,
when we are teenagers,
we usually tend to stay
in contact with many of our friends
we meet in school.
So if you get access to these people
who might be future billionaires,
millionaires and so on
through school, you're going to have
a great advantage when you are
my age, when you are an adult,
when you really want to level up and
really make your life happen.
When you have these connections,
you will have it so much more easier.
Never chase boys.
Boys are supposed to chase you.
Don't listen to what society
says about being 50/50,
that the women have to approach men
and also be like a man,
No!
You are the prize.
Boys should be chasing you,
not the other way around.
And also, don't allow any boys
to treat you like an object in school
to humiliate you,
to tease you,
to do those things they do because
they want your attention.
Don't fall for the whole thing
of you starting to just provocatively
or vulgar just to try to impress them
and just because you think that
that's what they want.
Don't forget that these boys are
never going to do the same for you.
So why should you do it for them?
You are the price!
Let them chase you.
Don't put too much attention to them
because that's usually what
will trigger them and benefit you.
Go in Google and Google for
Etiquette Schools in your city.
There are many etiquette trainings
for children and teens, and I would
really advise you to get that training.
Maybe you come from a family
who haven't educated you
in the way where kind of the affluent
family would do.
You want to learn how to eat properly,
how to sit properly, talk properly,
walk properly and so on.
And this is a great investment
in your own refinement and
opening up the opportunity for you
to feel more at ease with the affluent society.
Having said that, try and seek out
the rich kids in school.
There is always those kids in school
that are more well-off than others
and I really want you to try and
befriend them as much as possible.
Now some may be snobby
but try and find your way around
how you can still become friends with them.
Sometimes they want help
with the homework.
Maybe you are much more clever
than they are and they would
actually need you for something.
Do them a favor, do them two favors.
Try to see how you can help them
because that is usually the easiest way
to access somebody
that is a little bit hard to get.
Also, don't forget that you are in school.
There are bullies around everywhere.
And also people are opinionated,
people will criticize you,
people will try and dump their rubbish on top of you
just because they feel bad about themselves
for whatever reason.
Now this is the hardest part
of being a child, being a teenager
but I want you to really think about.
Never allow anyone to criticize you!
Never believe anything they say.
Always follow your own direction.
Never let these people influence
your direction.
Never let them steer you off your direction
or make you feel bad for some reason.
I want you to stay on your path and
I want you to do what you feel
is right for you.
Don't listen to this criticism,
that is just a distraction!
I know school can be quite boring
at times and so on.
I've been there myself.
But one thing I would advise is to
really try and memorize as much as
possible when you're in class.
Take those history lessons seriously.
Those are classes seriously.
Actually, take all the classes seriously
because it gives you this wide
foundation of knowledge
that you can use for future conversations
in affluent circles
when you want to impress somebody
with your intelligence and so on.
That's why you should really stay awake during class.
Because if you will be an intelligent woman
when you grow up,
you're going to be so appreciated
with men in the career that you choose, in anything!
Brain and beauty is such a killer combination
so make sure you get both.
I really hope that you have some
form of sport and a hobby that you do
that is so so important as a child, as a teenager.
To have something that you really
develop a passion for
and expertise in and that you find is fun.
I really hope you're doing some fun activity.
And if you don't, make sure
you start doing something.
Try out some affluent activity,
some affluent sports that will
serve you really well in the future
if you decide to take on the path
in the affluent society.
I personally did horseback riding,
ballroom dancing and I also dance ballet.
Very prestige feel things
and I'm really glad I did
because it has definitely helped me
connect with affluent people and
present myself in an elegant way
when I was older.
If you can study French in school,
do choose French,
very beneficial language and definitely
very affluent.
If you want to study more languages,
then maybe Mandarin, maybe
Russian, Spanish, German.
Try and study as many languages as possible
I personally speak 5 languages
and that is something that
I'm actually very proud of.
Now lastly,
whenever you get an opportunity to do
a study abroad program
or maybe you have finished your studies
and you don't know what to do next
and you want to maybe do a gap year,
definitely go travelling!
Definitely take that year abroad
by yourself where you get to experience
different cultures.
Live by yourself
and really grow as an individual.
As soon as I've finished high school
when I was 19,
I moved abroad by myself and
it was the best school I've ever been to.
You will meet so many people,
you will build incredible network of connections,
but most importantly,
you will really get to know yourself
and really understand kind of what
you want in life and who you are.
And that is a process
we all have to go through,
so try and travel as much as you can.
It's definitely the best thing you can do in your 20's.
Now, that was it for me.
I hope you enjoyed this different video
that I made for my younger audience
and that I will see
you in the next video.
