I recently walked past 30 and did not even think about it. But when I started thinking about my 20s I realized how many mistakes I made and how many lessons I had learned. So I wrote the advice I wanted to send to my "20s".
The 30 year old advice wanted to send to me by the age of 20
- Go here
When you are 20 and unmarried, you do not have to take on many responsibilities, so take the time to travel. When you're 30, your travel preferences will be a bit different. You will spend more, go to more expensive places, eat in more upscale restaurants. So work one full year and spend the money to travel at a cheap price.
How do you know what you want to do if you do not step out to see what the world has to offer?
Not necessarily go to the famous place, do not follow the crowd. Discover strange places, look at hidden corners, go deep into people's lives and let them lead you. Go is to learn. Come to the places that help you figure out who you want to be.
- Experience
Do not spend too much time working on other people's minds. Take the time to visualize your worldview by traveling a lot. From here you will know where you want to build your life, not necessarily in your hometown, nor in the central city, nor in the country ...
- Read
Successful reading
Read every day, whatever you can read. Do not just read facts or life skills, read the whole person. Westerners spend time at the airport to read books, Vietnamese just surf on Facebook. Who is reading this time? You are one of the few.
The things you learn in books are always valuable.
- People
The human world is extremely complex. Someone help you go faster, faster. Someone pull you back down with them and cause you to lose.
Some people will change your life forever. Look for them.
You do not have to have too many friends or have frequent contact with too many people. Just those willing to be by your side, help you, be fair to you the way you treat them. Most people we know are just social. You will see that when you really need them.
- Less TV
Actual TV shows do not help. The reality is in your life, around you. Do not watch other people, experience your life because it is very short.
- Career
Age 20 is the time when you can still jump until you find the job and the company you want to stick with for a long time. By age 30, you will have to think a lot and try to double to find a new job with high salary that you can accept. The change of profession seems to be impossible. So take advantage of your youth to discover the many possibilities.
- Beliefs
Even when betrayed by a lover, hooligans, friends turn their backs on ... even if they are hurt a lot, keep their faith. Do not be naive but do not be afraid.
Trust others until they give you a reason to stop.
- Cherish time
waste time
Do not waste your time on people you do not trust. And appreciate the time of others.
- Failure
Fail, because life allows. Each time you fail, you know what to do to succeed, both in love, family and career.
- Success
Success in your 20s is extremely rare. This is a time for you to discover yourself, gain experience and finances. Do not rush, but do not hesitate.
Do not ignore all costs to be successful soon.
- Perseverance
It takes you at least 12 years to complete your studies, it takes 4-5 more to learn a profession, it takes a few more years to develop your skills. You spend your whole life living in harmony with others, learning to endure, learn forgiveness, learn to love. You are a work of art forged by time and wind.
Nothing precious can be done quickly but it takes time. Rarely valuable things are formed in just one minute.
