Below is a link to over 80 people’s responses that address a burning question: “What would you say if a teenager walked up and asked you: What’s the key to success in Life?” The question drew over 80 responses very quickly from professionals in a wide range of professions. Try using the compiled list of responses as a discussion topic with teenagers. If you are a teenager, try this exercise:
- Highlight the top four responses (your favorites). Why were they your top four?
- Were there similarities based on gender or cultural background, etc.?
- Of your top four, what industry or job did the respondent list?
- Which responses did you not like? Why?
