If you're young, chances are, your answer will be something that you had done in the past, that you really wish you didn't think about it, let alone doing it.

Maybe it had cost you valuable things, maybe it was humiliating, maybe it had caused you to develop phobia towards something.

Whatever it was, you really wish you chose not to do it.

But, if we ask this very exact question, to old, wise elders,
the answer would be something that they wish they would do in their past.

They wanted to do it. They had the passion to do it.
They knew all the details, all the pros and cons of doing it.

And, despite knowing all of that, they chose not to do it.
Why?

Because of the fear of the unknown.
Fear of mistakes, fear of being rejected and humiliated.

At that time, they felt better, choosing not to do it.
But, as day passed, they would constantly ask themselves.

"Why didn't I do it?"
It's true that young people are foolish and lack of experiences, unlike elders, who are usually wise in their actions.

But, it is an undeniable fact that their wisdom, come from the mistakes that their young selves did.

We cannot change this essential life cycle, but we can make it better.

Youths have the best potential stored in their mind, body and soul.
To make yourself wise beyond your age, your actions and thinking must also go beyond your age.

Explore new things. Do big things. Put your best efforts to things that will actually bring benefit the world.

If you already have an idea to do something,
and you are passionate about it,
and you are confident that it will reform the world,

then what are you waiting for?

That time will come, when you get older.
If you choose not to do it now,

depending on what you are planning to do
you will probably bring tons of regrets onto your deathbed.

Do not let your future self have regrets. Do it now.
