We'd asked you, dear readers, to write a message to your 15-year-old self.
Rediff reader Intikhab Alam Siddiqui shares his advice:
Hope I find you in the best of health.
You are in the best phase of your life and must be having a blast!
I know that at this age, you would just like to chill out and take on life just as it comes. There is nothing wrong in that either.
However, this is also the time wherein you can take a little time out and think what are your areas of interests and what thrills you.
Basically, apart from enjoying life to the fullest, you can also ponder on what subjects you like the most and feel that you can take a career decision based on that.
Please understand that this is also the most crucial phase of your life and your future life's journey depends on what choices you make now.
I am sure you are very intelligent and will choose what is best for you and I am so proud of you for that.
Live life to the fullest and take care!
