Are you throwing away your youth? Read on for 27 things you should do while you're still young, or you'll spend the rest of your life lamenting the missed opportunities. One should enjoy it while one is still young, the elders like to say. But why?
Youth is madness. When we are young, we often do things that we later regret. But mistakes are the best teacher and in life, in the end, we don't regret mistakes as much as we lament missed opportunities. And youth is the one that offers the most opportunities, because at that time a person does not have as many obligations and duties as later in life, when many compromises have to be made for the sake of family, work and other things. Let youth be madness, just don't be a period of wasted opportunities!
So make the most of your youth before it slips away. Here is a list of things to do, before you settle down and get older, otherwise you will regret it later.
