learn as much as you can, don’t worry too much about what it is you learn

you’ll find what you’re good at or fascinated by

Don’t worry too much if you fuck up. You have more than enough time to fix just about any mistake. You’re still young, it’s OK.

A. I wouldn’t because that implies by being around longer I know more or am more right about some things than young people. I’ve accumulated knowledge, but that doesn’t mean anybody should listen to what I have to say or that I’m wiser. There are certainly times that is true, but it’s also true that we have a lot to learn from them and we should listen to them.

But as you experience more you do know more

About some things. You also lose knowledge with time as well as mental acuity. The brain is a leaky memory storage device.

XTL ,

Age does not bring wisdom. Often it merely changes simple stupidity into arrogant conceit. It’s only advantage, so far as I have been able to see, is that it spans change. A young person sees the world as a still picture, immutable. An old person has had his nose rubbed in changes and more changes and still more changes so many times that that he knows it is a moving picture, forever changing. He may not like it–probably doesn’t; I don’t–but he knows it’s so, and knowing is the first step in coping with it.

When faced with seemingly equivalent choices, pick the once that maximizes your future options.

intensely_human ,

Oof no, this is bad advice. I followed this advice and it’s resulted in me having no career to speak of.

In order to have a good life, one needs to sacrifice option A to commit to B, or vice-versa.

Trying to maximize future options is a recipe for regret.

Edit: I misread the comment chain. I’ll just leave mine though

Always picking the most rewarding next step is called a greedy algorithm, so mathematically it might be good but not usually optimal because you might be sacrificing long-term success for short-term gains. Somet

bad_alloc ,

How do you know which option to pick though, if both seem equivalent in the moment?

___ ,

Not always good advice.

An exclusive relationship, by definition, minimizes your future options but opens up a subset which are better for many/most people.

Whatever you do, don’t buy expensive electronics, especially on credit. They will be outdated before you know it.

overload ,

Realize that the cutting edge electronics that you buy today won’t be worth jack shit in three years time.

CanadaPlus ,

Conversely, old electronics still work relatively fine but are nearly free.

intensely_human ,

Ergo, purchase electronics and then sell them at an earlier time.

Best Buy doesn’t want you to learn this one weird trick discovered by a local Lemming.

Find a topic that you have interest in and master it. This will only get harder as you get older.

No one has life figured out. Everyone has the same insecurities, fears, and doubts. Everyone is pretending to know what they’re doing at least part of the time.

-Life is too short for bad coffee, bad wine, bad shoes and bad people.

-spend the required money in a good bed and a good chair. When it comes down to it later, it is not negotiable for your back.

-you will have to have a lawyer involved sometimes such as drafting up a will. It’s worth it. Also: do your will and sort out your stuff even if you haven’t been diagnosed with a terminal illness.

-clean like you’re moving house once a year. Cut down on the hoarding.

-‘no’ Is a complete sentence.

-sometimes acceptance of a situation is what it is is the only closure you’re ever going to get.

-acknowledge your stuff <—//—> other people’s stuff. Others might not work on their own stuff but they aren’t your job.

-resentment isn’t always something someone gives you nor is it the reality of the situation. Sometimes a person invites it along. Eg: assuming such things as someone being late to dinner is a personalized slight to your energy and time.

-try not to confuse misunderstanding with malice.

-remember the good ones. It’s so easy to just count the nasty people in your life and have them as your comparison for things. Spending your energy this way overlooks all the good people in your life and that’s not fair to them and the effort they put in with you.

Don’t listen to those idiots who try to tell you that it all goes downhill once you’re 25. Just because you’re halfway to being 30 doesn’t mean your life is over.

I’m almost 27 and have never been happier.

ByteOnBikes ,

I spent my 20-25 almost homeless and working dead end jobs. I used to dumpster dive for food. I spent my late 20s working on myself (and cut out everybody who wasn’t interested in changing).

And In my 30s, my life is so much better.

Understand how sun cream factors work and always wear it.

Get one good cooking knife and learn how to hone and sharpen it. You have to sharpen it often and almost immediately. Learn how to cut vegetables. Start with onions because they are cheap and versatile.

Keep a freewriting journal.

If you’re a guy take a moment to look into what women go through in their lives with guys. It’s not complicated or mysterious, it’s just that a significant portion of guys never heard about it. It’ll automatically make you a better man and you’ll have a better time too :)

Almost no one knows how to do the job they are hired for. You’ll have a trainer at almost every job. Apply for things you don’t think you are qualified for. Most people figure it out as they go.

If you are still in school, unless you are trying to get into a post graduate school, like law school or med school. Your grades are the least interesting thing about you. Cs get degrees.

Once you’re in the world. People care about experience and personality more than straight A’s or the deans list.

CaptPretentious ,

Drinking is not the most important things in the world.

In the US for sure, teenagers start to idolize alcohol and eventually it becomes the pinnacle of cool for some. “Parties” end up revolving around just the alcohol and getting completely wasted. Trust me, you are not a cool, as charming, etc, as you think you are when drunk. And there’s are, absolutely people who will show up to these parties expecting to exploit drunk people.

I’m not telling you ‘NEVER DRINK!’… More like, you don’t need to try drinking a lifetimes worth of alcohol everytime there’s alcohol around you. 1 drink can be enough. And don’t hang out with people who push you to drink or don’t accept ‘no’ as an answer and try to peer pressure you into drinking.

intensely_human ,

Also, be aware that a subset of people experience a stimulant effect from alcohol. These people are at especial risk for developing addiction to alcohol (aka “alcoholism”).

The way you find out whether you’re one of these people is you sit down and pour out three shots of vodka. You don’t drink them yet. You take your pulse, and write it down.

Then you down those shots. Then you wait 5 minutes, sitting there the whole time, not moving. Then you take your pulse again. If your pulse has gone up at least 10 bpm from the first measurement, you’re experiencing a stimulant effect from the alcohol and you are especially at risk for alcoholism.
