Introduction
Most teenagers have a desire for great fortune, wealth, being the best, or to be liked by their peers or someone they love: They think of accumulating a lot of money, luxury cars, mansions, recognition from other people, being outstanding, and an elegant lifestyle. To accomplish and acquire such expensive dreams, the challenge will be hard and full of suffering: with limited resources available, a fixed amount of income generated through jobs and even small businesses someone has, and a world full of talented individuals, most people already give up on such aspirations.
Giving up is an idea. The moment you accept such knowledge it would be converted into your reality. The mind is an individual's greatest asset. An asset is something that brings economic benefits to an individual or group. Our brain acts like a double-edged sword: it can bring several advantages in your life but can also harm us if not used properly. To turn the brain into an asset, a student should know what they want to achieve in the future and think about how they can accomplish it. This would give a student focus and concentrated effort to take initiative while reflecting on what they want really matters or if there would be changes on what they desire from the beginning.
