#6Find a passion(s).
Understand that few people, at least in Western culture, attain wealth or social status from whatever their passion(s) may be.
If your passion(s) is associated with a relatively low-paying career, consider the possibility of keep your passion(s) as a hobby, and pursue a career that pays well and allows you time for your hobby/passion outside of work.
Understand the tremendous power of long-term, compound interest. Saving money does not seem important at 18, but doing it now makes life a hell of a lot easier down the road.
Also, establish a credit history with something like a secured credit card.

terrible advice, how can he explore the world without trying things? just sightseeing?
try weed and different things, you need to build a strong character and that you can only do if you understand your limits well
you might as well understand that life isn't a real competition and actually enjoy your life, unlike people that will give you advice about career and work, but dread their lives.
