A short YouTube talk by Richard Canfield advising millennials that time is their greatest asset. The speaker highlights a paradox—life is short, yet younger people often have a long investment horizon—and urges millennials to take advantage of time by being open-minded, asking good questions, avoiding instant-gratification attempts to get rich quickly, and instead building wealth slowly, purposefully, and steadily.

When it comes to millennials, what we sometimes forget about is how much time we have. And I know that can be a paradox in itself, because life is short. At the same time, what I would say, or I would like to share with millennials is to take advantage of the time that you have in front of you and to be open minded in everything that you do and ask good questions. We live in an instant gratification age where we want to build wealth fast. And and I would say to millennials, is that wouldn't be the right way to go about it. Just from learning about and looking at the people who have truly built wealth, it's taken them time to get there. And so that's why I say to take advantage of the time that you have so that you can build slowly, purposefully, but surely grow that wealth.
