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.

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...

This is Exactly How I Feel = 'I'm so bearish, I'm bullish': BofA says 'maximum liquidity' will push stocks to new all-time highs, but a COVID-19 vaccine will mark the 'big top'

By  Matthew Fox    Aug. 7, 2020 Spencer Platt/Getty Images The stock market is set to continue moving higher in 2020, as "maximum liquidity" is all that matters, according to a Bank of America note published on Friday. But under the surface, there's plenty to be bearish about as low yields incite a bubble in stocks just as Main Street enters a recession, BofA said. Investors should expect stocks to keep moving higher in 2020, but 2021 will be bearish as a COVID-19 vaccine is likely to mark the "big top," according to the note. "I'm so bearish, I'm bullish," BofA's Michael Hartnett said in the note. "I'm so bearish, I'm bullish." That's how Bank of America strategist Michael Hartnett summed up his thinking on the markets in a note published on Friday, as the S&P 500 is just 1% away from making new all-time highs just as Main Street enters a recession, according to the note. A "decade-long backdrop" of low-...

25 Alan Watts Quotes to Teach You the Transformative Power of InsighsPi

25 Alan Watts Quotes to Teach You the Transformative Power of Insighs Pin A prolific author and speaker, Alan Wilson Watts is credited with the interpretation and introduction of Eastern philosophy to the Western audience. As his mother’s students were children of missionaries to Asia, Watts began to be fascinated by Asian art, literature, and philosophy; so in time, he learned Chinese and started to explore the fundamental beliefs and practices of religions and philosophies of India and East Asia. After a rigorous research in Zen Buddhism, Watts published one of the first books on the topic –  The Way of Zen  – introducing the burgeoning youth culture to it. Due to all the wisdom it embodies, Watts even suggested that Buddhism could be presented and taught as a form of psychotherapy, and not only as a religion. Alan Watts is the author of more than 25 books on various topics such as philosophy, Eastern and Western religion, natural history, semanti...

Advice For Failures. - Conselhos sobre falhar....

Advice For Failures. BY JON WESTENBERG Don’t Be Too Stubborn. I like stubborn people. I like people who are bullish on the things that they believe in, and don’t give up easy. Those are the people who build incredible things and shake age-old foundations. Those are the people who will drive us deeper into space and further into technology, who we’ll look back on as true legends. It’s tough to see where you should be stubborn and where you should admit defeat though. Because even the geniuses, the generals and the giants of our world have known that from time to time, admitting defeat is the right thing to do. If you can be honest with yourself and make that call, that it’s time to quit and it’s the right time to quit – you’ll be better equipped to take on your next project. Who knows. Your next shot could change the world. Walk Away. There is no shame in walking away from a project. Sometimes you can’t do much of anything else. When the chips are down, and you’re out o...

How was it to adapt to “normal” life after vagabonding / vanlife? by Paul Fenn

By
Image
By  Paul Fenn For me, a year of unalloyed hell. As I’ve shared on this site probably too many times, between the ages of 28 and 33, I had the luxury of taking five years off to travel and not work — other than when I wanted to break the terrible monotony of non-stop adventure, islands, beaches, boats, bikes, girls and reading all the books I’d never gotten to. Lots of it happened on sailing yachts. I spent the bulk of those years in SE Asia and did several blue-water yacht-hitching passages — around the Fiji Isles, Fiji-NZ, Singapore-Heart of Borneo-Manila, Manila-Okinawa, down the Pacific from Barra de Navidad (Mexico)-Puntarenas (Costa Rica), and many lesser passages mainly out of Singapore, delivering yachts to Malaysia and Thailand. There were also several cargo ship passages in Indonesia and other lands. Once I found my feet, I traveled with increasing roughness and gnarliness, in order to make my money (C$100,000) last. And to toughen up. I’d made the money as a sales exec, a...
