The very moment you came into this world, you become a liability. You don't contribute for the better of the world or to humanity. You become a burden to the society, economy, resources, time and everything, whether you like it or not, you are responsible for your own fate.
But you have the power and ability to change all this around.
HOW CAN YOU DO THIS ?
Often times, people usually stay a liability up until their mid or late 20's, sometimes sooner or later. It all depends on how you decide to structure your life and what decisions or path you take.
To become an asset you must somehow benefit your future,contribute to the world you are living in and constantly strive to improve yourself in all facets of your life. The decision or choices you make, everything you do, is your responsibility and your responsibility alone.
Blaming someone other than yourself for a misfortune, mistake or problem automatically makes you a liability.
When you are presented with a problem, instead of setting blame, take the necessary steps to find out what caused the issue, how the issue can be prevented in the future. This showcase your critical thinking, incentive to improve and ability to plan ahead.
You have to constantly think of ways to improve what is presented to you, and solutions to issues opposed to taking no action. Consume this mindset and rigorously administer it throughout your life to your smallest and biggest decisions.
Make it your lifestyle.
The good you need and the bad you doesn't
BAD HABITS

Being an asset is not something you do over night, you need to invest yourself, and see the pay offs accumulate. But in other to do this, you have to do away with some habits. One of the most difficult portions of transforming yourself into a useful asset, your bad habits and vices. They simply must be removed from the equation. We don't want to waste our most useful resources, time, on any of these nuisances. They simply have too big of a price tag attached to them.
TIME MANAGEMENT AND DISTRACTIONS

In what ever we're doing in life, we need to make time our ally, not our foe. People lose track of time, procrastinate and generally not conscious of time, forcing time to become their enemy and work against them. We cannot control time, but what we can do is try to make it work for us. And if you can manage to do that then you have the biggest gun in your arsenal to become one big, bad asset.
There is a high chance that the universe and even time will reward you.
Mastering your time is all about avoiding, ignoring, disregarding, saying no to distractions. Distractions come in all shapes and forms to pull you away from your main goal, dreams, aspirations.
Of course its easy to get distractions because that's exactly the type of world we live in, full of distractions that are constantly pulling us away from the love of our lives.
Anything that wont please us immediately are considered not worth our times, when it should be opposite way around.
Any good that has ever come out of this world has been from spending time on it. Dedication, determination, and discipline. You need all three to give the confident.
