What every 25 year old should know?

By

1. You are not getting any younger.


At 25, I think the first thing you need to know is that you have lived a tangible fraction of your life and there is no better time to get serious about your future than now. You spent a huge chunk of the last 25 years growing up, discovering the things you like and dislike, fooling around and making some very bad choices. Now is the time to stop all that and take your life more seriously because nobody else will do it for you.


2. Decisions are everything


We are all products of our choices and decisions. Any decision you make at this particular point in your life must be carefully reconsidered because it can make or break you. it can determine who you will be for the rest of your life, maybe you will end up living a fulfilled or miserable life.


3. It’s never too late to start over


You might have taken a wrong step already, a couple of bad decisions, maybe a bad career choice or you have discovered that you don't really like a lot of things you thought you like while growing up (we all have them). It’s never too late to hit the reset button, take a couple of steps back re-evaluate your choices, set new ones if necessary and get to work. Also remember, you don’t owe anybody an explanation for doing what is best for yourself.


4. Ask for help


One is too small a number to achieve greatness. You don't have to do it all by yourself. You need to surround yourself like-minded people, people who share similar goals and passion. Collaboration with these kind people will get you to your goals faster. We all need help one way or another and it is always good to know when to ask for help.


5. Take your health seriously:


Your health is one of your greatest assets, do not squander it. Eat healthy food, exercise regularly, get enough sleep and go for regular medical checkups. Avoid alcohol and smoking as much as possible, you can still enjoy your young adult life without those two. Everything you do has a cumulative effect on your health. Take health decisions your future self will be grateful for and more importantly don't get too busy to take care of yourself.


6. Invest in yourself:


Learn something new every now and then, read books, learn new skills, get a new hobby, take courses online. Increase your financial intelligence, learn to trade stocks and invest.


7. You got this.


No matter how confused you may be right now, the future may seem so unclear, I want you to know you have everything you can ever need within your grasp. You are enough, in fact you are more than enough. With right tools such as discipline and commitment, you will achieve greatness. You definitely got this.


Updated: I added two more important points to the list.


Thank you guys, for the views, upvotes and comments. I really appreciate it.

Super Car of the Famous People

Jay-Z's Mercedes Maybach Exelero Price:  $8 million Featured in his music video "Lost One," this car is  truly one-of-a-kind . Made by Italian car company Stola, it was manufactured only once. It is said to be able to reach 218 mph and can go from 0-62 mph in 4.4 seconds. The Exelero, it would seem, is not one of Jay-Z's 99 problems.   Jay Leno's McLaren F1 Price:  $22 million Of all Leno's vehicles, the  McLaren F1  is certainly one of the most impressive, if only for its price. There were only 106 made. Created by Formula One race-car designer Gordon Murray, the F1 is made of lightweight premium materials such as kevlar, carbon fiber, and titanium and is supposed to be one of the best supercars ever made. Tom Brady's Bugatti Veyron Price:  $3 million Tom Brady has seven Super Bowl wins and a  garage full of impressive cars  that he might have a little more time to drive now that he's retiring from the NFL. Perhaps the most impressive is his Bugatti V

Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27.

By
Muito interessante pessoal, jamais imaginei como se media isso! abraços, Ivan Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27. A nomenclatura dos pregos é algo bastante desconhecido da maioria das pessoas. Isso ocorre porque há muitos padrões no mercado. Existe uma equivalência aproximada entre elas, mas as usuais estão em Polegadas Inglesas x BWG, JP x LPP e ainda o padrão métrico oficial, mm x mm. Entenda o que significam estas siglas: Polegadas Inglesas: multiplique o número correspondente por 25,4 para ter o comprimento em mm. BWG (Birmingham Wire Gauge) e JP (Jauge de Paris): são tabelas próprias que indicam o diâmetro do prego. LPP (Linhas Por Polegadas Portuguesas): multiplique o número correspondente por 2,3 para ter o comprimento em mm. No Brasil usamos mais o seguinte formato: JP x LPP Onde: JP é o diâmetro, em JDP (Jauge de Paris) LPP é o comprimento, em Linhas de Polegada Portuguesa. 1 JDP = ver tabela abaixo 1 Linha de Polegada Portuguesa: 2,30 mm Conversao de Medi

BrainstBorming Does Not Work

By
BrainSt orming Does Not Work Why people who brainstorm are wasting their time. Brainstorming was invented by advertising executive Alex Osborn in 1939 and first published in 1942 in his book  How to Think Up . This is a typical description, from James Manktelow, founder and CEO of MindTools, a company that promotes brainstorming as a way to “develop creative solutions to business problems”: Brainstorming is often used in a business setting to encourage teams to come up with original ideas. It’s a freewheeling meeting format, in which the leader sets out the problem that needs to be solved. Participants then suggest ideas for solving the problem, and build on ideas suggested by others. A firm rule is that ideas must not be criticized — they can be completely wacky and way out. This frees people up to explore ideas creatively and break out of established thinking patterns. As well as generating some great solutions to specific problems, brainstorming can be a lot of fun. Osborn claimed

What is the most Important in Life? - Nurturing Meaning: Unveiling the Essence of Human Experience

By

  What is most Important in Life? This question is one that's close to the heart, something that so many of us ponder over. The pursuit of what truly matters in life is a journey as unique as each individual. While there's no one-size-fits-all answer, let's delve into some insights that have resonated with countless souls, as I've discovered through my web explorations. Picture this: health, a cornerstone of existence. It's not just about the physical; it encompasses mental and emotional well-being too. Think of your body as a canvas, and the colors you fill it with—balanced meals, regular movement, restful sleep—create a masterpiece of vitality. Remember, health isn't just a solo act; it's the backdrop against which relationships, work, and passions unfold. Ah, relationships—the tapestry of human connection. Family, friends, partners—these are the threads that weave our story. They offer a sanctuary of love, support, and a deep sense of belonging. They chal

How to Become a Chicken Entrepreneur

By
"Entrepreneurs are risk takers, willing to roll the dice with their money or reputation on the line in support of an idea or enterprise. They willingly assume responsibility for the success or failure of a venture and are answerable for all its facets." -Victor Kiam How to Become a Chicken Entrepreneur By Michael Masterson I firmly believe that one of the best (or possibly the best) ways of growing wealthy is to start your own business. And while I'm all for taking on a limited amount of risk, I'm not about to recommend that you jump ship in the hopes that you can build a raft while struggling to stay afloat. That's where my principle of "chicken entrepreneurship" comes in. Chicken entrepreneurship figures heavily in my latest book, Seven Years to Seven Figures . It has certainly helped many of my friends and colleagues build seven-figure incomes. But that doesn't explain the concept. A reporter for CNNMoney who recently reviewed my book Automat

Conceitos Sobre a Vida - Repo Men - Um futuro... distante ?!!

    Hoje assisti a um filme chamado REPOMAN - O Resgate de órgãos ou REPOSSESSION. Esse filme é de 2010 e engraçado como já fazem 4 anos, alguém me disse que precisava assistir a esse filme.... Independente das críticas positivas ou negativas, da trama um tanto previsível, e da falto de alguns artifícios hollywoodianos típicos, o que mais me chamou atenção e me fez não parar de pensar nesse filme (até o ponto de escrever esse blog depois de tanto tempo... :) é o fato da FRAGILIDADE HUMANA!  Como somos frágeis! Como não nos damos conta disso até perdermos um membro, ou ficarmos doentes ou, como no filme mostra: perdermos um órgão!  Um órgão!!!! Apenas 1 órgão!!!! e toda nossa vida vai por água abaixo! Nossa estrutura física, Emocional e familiar se desmantela. Passamos a viver dependentes de terapias, remédios, uma fila de espera para um transplante ou como no filme mostra, passamos a ficar endividados para o "resto da vida" com um órgão artificial! Que
