Do you think it is possible that there will come a time where there will be school teachers or lecturers who are kids? Or a president of a country who is a teenager? I, strongly believe this is possible.
It is now common to hear of young kids who can do amazing things, things that only adults were capable of doing. Now in new millennium children at just 3 years of age are learning how to use the computer, learning how to operate electronical devices, parents are sending them for tuition and no, not to learn the alphabet but to learn mathematics and science. The things children used to learn when they were 7 or 8 years old are now being thought to toddlers. And since learning has no end, it brings about a domino effect. Children, or so they are called at 10-12 years of age are already learning how to make money, teenagers are already thinking about careers and now it is not rare to find a young adult of age 21-25 years of age who is already a millionaire.
Some people nowadays can afford to retire at 40 as they have already reached their goals which took people of the older generation at least another 20-25 years. Some people think this is the right way to live life because they feel you have to start early in life if you want to achieve your goals. But think about it, what kind of childhood would you have? What kind of life did you have as a youth? Some people may argue and say" I can enjoy my life after i achieve everything, once i know i reached my goals" but is it the same? Can you still have the youth of a 16 year old at the age of 45, not to mention all the adult situations you were in for the past 40 years.
I think after all, it is like a trade off, all that youth, and childhood wonders where life was so free,where you never had to worry about anything at all for a successful career at a young age. But is it really that worth it? Or would you want to enjoy the wonders of youth and start thinking about adult issues when you actually are an adult and instead work a little harder in the future, but still in the end make it and reach your goals? Personally, I will choose the latter.
Ask yourself this, would you want your fondest memory as a youth to be one that involves, slogging, working, being stressed out cause you are unable to meet deadlines and because you cannot complete that ridiculous work load? I, definitely wouldn't want that.
