Hmm. Just a few things come to mind right off the bat.

Always surround yourself with people that are more successful/smarter than you. Be humble and accept that you are probably not a special flower. Constantly put yourself out of your comfort zone. If you do not feel challenged or engaged for weeks on end, do something about it.

Also, I was a serious career type in my twenties, so this is my advice: Apply for jobs you can safely get, but also apply for ones that are out of your league and demand a high salary, never reveal your past position salary. I made it pretty far professionally by just filling out applications that were way out of my league, and getting lucky. I think it is a numbers game. :rolleyes:




Pretty good advice here. I've found that the career game is part talent and part confidence trick: people can sense, and are attracted to, confidence (not to be confused with arrogance) on a sub-concious level. A casual mix of humility, empathy and confidence is almost irresistible to employers, co-workers and employees.





good advice. Ill have to use that salary tidbit.

I'm fairly certain that the zen sorts of energies he's talking about aren't within the scope of the field of physics as it's colloquially known lol.

This is more advice for college students, but it may apply to others as well.

Tell us what you wish you heard when you were 18 or 23 or 19.
When I was 18, I wish someone would have told me not to party so hard in college because it would fuck up my grades. That's exactly what happened and college took me forever and it created a ton of stress, strife, and financial problems.

Tell us what you did that you later found out had consequences that we should know about while time's still on our side.
I found out that you need to be careful with relationships. Don't invest your life in them completely. Heartache is a motherfucker and can have disastrous consequences. Never abandon your friends, no matter how much you love another person. Take time to be you outside of the relationship. Maintain a level of independence.

Tell us what you didn't do that you later found out had consequences that we should know while time's still on our side.
I didn't devote enough time to my studies and partied too hard. This goes back to the first question, so see that.

Tell us what you wish you realized earlier.
I wish I had a better sense of money matters. It's a very important thing. Knowledge of how important it is and how to budget it is a crucial life skill. Money doesn't equal happiness, but it sure as hell helps to have money and not be stressed about not having enough money.

Tell us truths you've learned over time that we can understand now, so we can stand on your shoulders.
The world isn't fair. Other people will be much more privileged and better connected than you and will have better opportunities. Don't fret over this. Do the best you can and be proactive. If you're looking to go into a particular field and are in college, get a fucking internship. Yeah, it'll be unpaid slave labor, but you're going to have a major leg up on all those lazy shits you went to school with that only took classes once you graduate. Also, network like a motherfucker. If you're at a bar or something and you overhear someone talking about your field, butt into the conversation and get to know them. Internships and networking are exactly what I did and it paid off.

Tell us what you've done or not done that we might risk doing or not doing now, so we won't cry on your shoulders.
Eh, it's pretty much summed up in the above answers.

Above all else, tell us what you know with good certainty that we should avoid at all costs.
Time for some street smarts. If you're in a really bad area at night time, run the redlights if someone starts approaching your car. It's a hell of a lot better to have an interaction with a cop than to get carjacked. Also, if someone hits you in a bad area, stay in your car and call the cops. They might steal yours if you get out. Also, don't start doing heroin kids. That's bad, mmmmkay?

OK. Serious answer.

People are weird. All people. You better used to dealing with people who think differently, act differently and who you don't understand. Be more open minded, and don't reject someone just because they don't fit into perfect little categories.

Travel. See the world. Become friends with people who are different from you and have opinions you don't necessarily agree with.

Bump.

I wanna see if anything's changed over the years and what you geezer's have figured out since then :ruggedwink:

:bow:


In all seriousness, please share your advice and any comments you have about why it is the way it is or how it might have been different. I'm curious myself and frankly a lot of us, myself included, stand to 'listen' better as far as what matters.

All I gotta say is each day when you wake up, tell yourself "I'm going to be a better person than who I was yesterday" even if its unrealistic or impossible.

Tell us from YOUR perspective how you think you have changed/developed. We are not there to see behind the scenes so our judgement may not be the best. Ask yourself brotha. look at your surrounds and life..

Is everything going alright? sometimes change isn't what we need, it's being grateful.

Didn't read previous posts or anything, so I can't give you my own perspective.

I haven't yet either I won't unless this takes off.

Now that I'm almost 30 I would say don't just think about if your shitty decisions will matter in 5 years. Think of the things that are definitely going to be there in 5 years and consider how this will affect them. The important things like family, friends, community, pets, property.

When I was young I wanted to have a large impact on the world.

Now that I am a grown man I try to tread lightly and not cause wake.

What age was the midpoint of that transition, or when did that start the most for you?

Did it correspond to meeting a girl/guy? (i.e. that "I've lost all ambition for worldy acclaim, I just wanna be the one you love" thing from the fallout 3 world on fire song)
