Advice for the Young People

I originally found this at Reddit. It's very nice :)


People who are 40+ and happy with their life, what is your advice to people in their 20s?

1. Everyone is focused on themselves to care too much about their opinion of you. So fuck what they think.
2. Social media si only an illusion.
3. Zero debt is an amazing feeling. Think twice before dropping that down payment on that fully loaded 2020 dream mobile that offers nothing but looks and depreciates value quickly.
4. Falling out of love is perhaps more powerful than falling in love.
5. Use up ALL of your vacation time / sick at work.
6. Don't lose sight of the hobbies you enjoyed as a child. They will help you live as you grow older.
7. Family is not necessarily blood, but instead who you would bleed for.
8. There are just as much benefits to being a night owl as there are being an early bird.
9. Forgive yourself first before forgiving others.
10. Do not be a doormat in submission, but hold the door open in kindness.
