| 1. Before anything, develop morals and emotional intelligence. That means no complaining, being more patient and more trusting that things will turn out well. Everyone says be more patient but you have to be a lot more patient. Impatience screws everything: gaming, relationships, career growth, spiritual growth. This is why every insists on meditating. A good question to ask yourself is if some celebrity posted this on social media, would you respect him more or less? Vulnerability is also overrated. Corollary: never put yourself in a situation where you can't afford to be patient. The greedy people will seem successful until they get screwed by The Pandemic. 2. The best investment is in yourself. Max out salary before thinking about stocks. 3. Read a company's Glassdoor before the interview. 4. Focus on one thing at a time until you have intuitive control over it (especially code). 5. Buy the Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 as soon as you can afford it. You've been typing wrong your whole life. 6. Rule of thumb with cash investment is a 10x return. Rule of thumb with time investments is a 1x return within 2 years. 7. Don't work with/for anyone who you don't admire. Don't "settle". There are plenty of good people in the world and the best way to meet them is to become an upstanding person yourself. Following the bad ones will lead you into a pit of other bad people. |
