Best way to Learn Independence

Even though a person has grown adult, there are still many things and experiences to learn. The most important of all should be independence. I think to live independently is the best way to learn it for several reasons.

First, making a living on his or her own is the fundamental part of independence. Since by living alone, young adults are forced to earn money, tackle problems in life immediately, such as negotiations with neighbors or a landlady. They will soon experience the effort made by their parents and learn to cherish what he or she possesses now because it is never easy to gain anything they want without the support of their parents.

Second, removing reliance on and influence of parents can speed up young adults to derive the true independence of their own. While some people may argue that parents living together will give appropriate advices to young adults when there is a problem, I should point out that each advice also means a hint or suggestion putting influence on the decisions and the consideration of young adults. This causes reliance and imitation which restrict the creativeness of the young to invent new solutions and subsequently slow down the progress made by the young generation.

To sum up, the best and fastest way to learn independence is to live alone. Not only a young adult can experience the real difficulties in life but also get rid of the reliance and influence from parents to derive true independence which help them think more innovatively. For these reason, I highly inspire those young adults to live independently as early as possible.
