Question

【题目】 Life offers so many lessons, both practical and personal, that you're never too young to begin learning them. Here are some skills to learn as soon as possible.

Money Management

When you start receiving money of your own, it's time to start understanding your relationship with money. In a world where you can buy any and every object, the key is to save money by buying only essentials（必需品）and a treat sometimes.

Cooking

One great way to save money is to learn to cook for yourself. Beyond that, cooking at home also helps you control your diet for better health. If you start doing this at an early age, you will not have to depend on your parents too much.

Keeping Promises:

Promises are a matter of honesty and should be made with care. We must learn from an early age that our word must be followed up by action. When it isn't, others will quickly lose trust in us and not respect us. Keeping promises is important.

Accepting Rejection（拒绝）

Though you must be careful not to break your word, others' promises aren't always kept. You may feel angry or sad when others refuse you. Learn about it early, and you won't be hurt easily. Remember that them are more fish in the sea.

Lifelong Learning

No matter how old you get, there will always be things beyond your understanding. It's better to learn to be modest now rather than take a proud fall later in life. Be open to new experiences and keep learning. And it's never too late to start.
