No.
Children, young people can if they are disciplined and work hard, they can achieve great things, but becoming the president of a company or of the USA needs far more than that.

I think that encouraging young people that should be reasonable and achievable.

I don't know. So let's go to the scriptures and see what they have to say about it, ok?

The scriptures seem to say that God has a plan for our life. My life. Your life. The Teenager's life.

So probably not the best advice to give. Better advice for the Teenager would be to seek the Lord, and His will and plan for his life.

 

[Michael74]

We can be all that the Lord wants us to be. Not our will, but His.

I might be a little negative.
"Look I'm not sure where your talent lies and I don't want to stop you from aiming high.
All I can say is, have goals but be ready to compromise."

This right here is why I am glad that I didn't go to college. Going to college may teach you many things and have secular benefits...but you will be formed into the image of the world.

I'd prolly be an atheist punk right now if I had gone to college.
