‘Secret gifts have been placed all around school today. Finders can keep them.’

If you saw this note, wouldn’t you try to grab as many? Likewise, life gives us many gifts that keep on giving. Here are three such gifts you can find and utilize well:

1. People: Talk, but Network too
Show genuine interest in the people you meet. Knowing their story creates better relationships with them. These people could help you with what you want or need, or lead you to someone who could. If you’re using social media with parental supervision, you can also explore networking online. Your next mini-projects and internship may find you easily!

2. Experiences: Get Curious about Your Options

As young adults, it is important to experiment with your interests and talents. See a debate competition coming up? Enroll for it! Volunteer with an NGO. Consider designing apps, creating content online, and running a youth club at school. Try them all as the road could lead you somewhere beautiful.

3. Attitude: Develop Your Individuality

How you think, feel and behave in any situation defines who you are. With every experience, try to develop an attitude that fosters your growth. Also, not all experiences will feel positive. Acknowledge negative experiences with grace. Look at the lessons they bring with them.

Our daily growth is subject to the people we surround ourselves with, our experiences and our attitude. That’s the best treasure hunt there is!
