Fun Now versus Future Fun
We all want to have FUN... Of course we do!
We want to enjoy life, have happiness, eat good food, watch good movies, read great books, do things that are meaningful to us and basically find what gives us joy, then do that thing as much as possible, right?
But logically speaking we also need to be working towards creating a future where we have the independence and freedom to be able to do our fun things as much as possible, hopefully as a career. As tween/teens, you have this crucial opportunity to develop a future that gives you what you want, and a life or career doing what you want. But the attraction of having all your fun now, and forgetting about the future means that you put off the necessary work to achieve a future that you want. We all experience this problem, young and old, but for your generation it is even more critical to be clear about this quandary.
Explain your approach to this problem.
