Pursue at least one thing that matters to him... a crazy career, talent, goal, accomplishment, etc. 
Just say, what have you always wanted to try or do?

love it. and similar ethos to @amitmukherjee  ‘s point on a lifelong habit

The benefits are:
- He gets it out of his system i.e. gets over it.
- He might be really good and be glad he started early.
- At very least, builds that habit as you and @amitmukherjee mention.

Plus more, of course.

Extra credit:
- start acting like the best version of a person in the career he wants now. eg don’t wait to be a CEO to start acting like an amazing CEO
- start dressing like your boss’s boss

These are a bit too Millennial for most Zoomers, but both build character & confidence.

i like the idea of working really hard at something as a way of unearthing your strengths & weaknesses
