Answer: What I did. Only this time, much more consciously.
I like to write texts for people at the beginning of my career. This is the time when life is still very plastic. You can make them like plasticine men. If you make good decisions, they will pay off for years.
Less fun is that a lot of people will choose bad. In his youth he is under pressure: "Be an adult!" Mixed with her sister: "Live full life, because you will not regain youth". This promotes shortcuts and choosing inappropriate priorities: focusing on what others think, on consumption or too fast pursuit of adulthood, although something else works better ...
First, experience later decisions
If you carefully listened to "mature" advice, you would be convinced that the most important things could be:
- finding a permanent job
- living with a person of the opposite sex
- buying a flat
It would be perfect to finish the sixth year of life and then know: "Yes, I will be a doctor / pianist / programmer". Only that it does not happen. Most people (to which I belong too) do not know what they like, what they are good at and what direction they want to develop.
The stupidest thing to do in this situation is to choose the first thing from the shore and cling to it, saying, "It's not so bad," "I wish I wasted time" or "How do I know that other issues are better?".
Before you start choosing, you should know what are the rules of the game and what you have to choose. That is why the most important thing is experience, knowledge of your needs and expectations and knowledge of what you like. Without this, not only does he choose the wrong one, but he is still stuck in this election because he has no idea what he deserves or builds his sense of competence. You know, this feeling: "I can, I can, I can do it."
First, income later expenses
I will not say that I do not understand students who buy a car for a holiday abroad, buy a new car, a new iPhone, drink only Jack Daniels in clubs and try to be the second Dan Bilzerian (a bearded type who tosses dozens of models through his bed, He plays poker and lives the way you would live if you got a million bucks a month and had to spend everything in 30 days).
And I understand it. Partying, buying gadgets, going to festivals, traveling, and even arranging your apartment is great. However, there is one problem - Bilzerian was rich BEFORE he became the star of the instagrama and the idol of the twenty-year-olds who were stretched out by testosterone.
Therefore, BEFORE you fall into the grip of consumerism, you should build the right grounds for earning in the future - gain competences, develop appropriate financial habits, build a financial cushion, learn to invest and sell. Overeating what you have, will make you tell people years later that youth is the best time in life. Rather, you will not notice that this is because you have taken this youth away.
The more you put money into yourself now, the more you'll be worth in five or ten years. You can not say that about your car, phone and clothes.
Work first, then entertainment
People tend to push important matters down the list of priorities in accordance with the principle: "If I get 67 years to do the job, I will do everything on the last day."
It just is. It's part of our nature. We do it in the belief that we still have many days for: love, career, living abroad, starting a business or completing a plan at work.
We are equally surprised that the sentence: "I still have a lot of time" suddenly turns into a panicky statement: "I do not have time anymore!".
This is because the things that are the most important, rarely pull you by the sleeve. Usually, it seems that you can still put them down a bit. That they will be made a little later. You do not notice what is losing at the same time.
I wrote this one time in the text. For waiting you pay for days that you will not survive:
"When you do not do what you know is good for you (regardless of whether it involves a weight loss of ten kilos or sign up for more interesting studies) then you pause and look at one frame cropped from a movie that has not yet managed to unscrew .
If you know that you should end a relationship in which you have not been happy for a long time, the pause removes from your life the moment when you see a beautiful brunette in a black dress and charming dimples in a place where the back ends and buttocks begin. You will not go to Madrid with her, you will not take funny pictures and you will not go with a bottle of wine for 4.95 euros to a stifling room that you would not exchange for an air-conditioned apartment.
When you postpone the assumption of the company you're talking about since you turned 15, you're transferring profits to an uncertain future. You do not unblock your energy for the next idea if it does not work out. N
