2) Have deep conversations

Talk to family and friends especially adults or those older than you. Ask them about their opinions and thoughts. Or at least they are able to share what they’ve experienced.

Career of your parents can be one of your choice too. If you have relatives that is currently studying or working, why not take this opportunity to know more about what their career does?
