I am saying that there will be few in that group who will actually manage to pull off long time work. Since they have more time ahead of them, they should try, even if their likelihood of success is low anyway. Basically, use that time figuring out if you belong to that minority. If you do, use that in your favour. If you don’t, that is fine, you still have time to go.
I was going to say just the above paragraph, but I sense I’m not dealing with the least convenient world here. So I’ll take another shot:
There are two separate statements: 1)Young people are worst at predicting their internal external change rates, and thus should wait before they start to predict that about themselves 2)Young people have more time so they should go for long-term, both because they won’t learn how long they usually last if they try only short term, and because there are some plans in the world that just have to be long term, and if someone will end up executing those, they are probably young, for they need a long time to execute (per definition).
Yeah, I sense the contradiction there as much as you do, and I don’t know what to do about it… Maybe I’m a bad designer of planners, or maybe Nature sucks and there is not much to be done about it.
That makes a lot more sense, actually. Young people have the most time to carry out long-term plans, and there are some plans that take so long that you have to start when you are young to have any hope of completing them.
But young people also have quickly changing goals, so… that sucks.
