Advice to Young Adults looking at starting life!!

Here are some of my life tips to young adults wanting to just start life: Especially those adults who are between 21 and 24 years. They are the ones who have just finished college and looking at life afresh out of college.

1. Don't gamble.?Gambling away your hard-earned money in a casino or online is not a clever move, and you will end up broke. Take calculated risks to invest in yourself and grow your business. Though taking chances is necessary for success, ensure you are smart about the risks you decide to take.
2. Be PREPARED!?I cannot emphasize this anymore. Poor preparation has been the downfall of many people. Here is one example of many. You have an extensive interview tomorrow. Leave with plenty of time for the interview, it is not cool to speed and to smell bad; have crisp clothing, and not torn jeans or unshaved beard, research the Company, Work out the questions you will ask and what the interviewer will ask etc.
3. Think?moderation.?More of most things are not good for you! (remember this again and again)
4. Whatever you do, do it to the best of your ability.?Don't cut corners! (cutting corners never took anyone anywhere)
5. Accept the now… Don't use phrases like 'I can't believe it'…believe it and move on.
6. When you tell somebody you are going to do something,?do it,?or communicate otherwise. Credibility is the name of the game for Adults. If you are stepping on the threshold of adulthood, first establish credibility.
7. Stay in touch with nature.?Especially important during stressful times in your life
8. Treat people the way you expect to be treated.
9. Don't let trivial daily life events get you down.?For example, if some cuts you up in traffic,?move on?rather than get annoyed or stressed.
10. Look after your body?by eating well and keeping fit when possible. Your body will thank you for it as you grow older.
11. Stop speeding bikes. Follow traffic rules.
12. Wear helmet.
13. Smoking won’t make you cool.
14. Drugs are a no no...It is a temporary joy with a life full of trouble. Be Smart and learn to say no to Drugs!
15. Stop chasing girl, once she said no.
16. You are still a baby to your parents.
17. “My life my rules” will change by time better to create “my life my choices”.
18. Wasting your money on girls will return you nothing. Except regret.
19. Making gf/bf is not compulsory. Everyone you see in a relationship are not hunky dory!
20. Start enjoying your own company.
21. Accept things will not go your way. That's life, and you must do your best to navigate accordingly.
22. Accept and understand that friends and family are not immortal.?Anything can happen at anytime, so spend quality time with them and learn as much about them as possible.
23. Listen 80% of the time and talk 20% of the time. You have two ears and one mouth for a reason.
24. When talking to someone, actually?take in what they are saying. This goes back to the listening above. Too many people are busy working out when they can get their word in rather than listening intently. When people talk focus on their talking and not on your phone
25. Be confident?but not cocky!
26. Be relentlessly?persistent?when deciding what you want out of business, relationships, etc. There will always be curve balls thrown your way, so stay strong.
27. Treat people with respect. Don't let people get you down, as some people are so unhappy with their life that they do their best to make yours as bad.
28. Don't try and please everyone. Out of 7 people that know you, two will not like you regardless. Still, they will pretend otherwise. 3 people will accept you and neither like nor dislike you, and two will take you entirely for all your faults etc.
29. I do not want to sound pessimistic, but when things are going well, enjoy but stay grounded, as things can change.?Your life can change for the better or worse in seconds!
30. Networking is important. Everyone needs sponsors and advocates if they want to achieve greater heights in their career, the sooner you start creating a network of people that can support and nurture you, the better.
31. Not every friend is important. Some exist just to feed off your insecurities and lower your self worth. Surround yourself with people who want the best for you. Don’t be afraid to drop people who do not want to see you succeed.
32. Exercise. Eat healthy. Quit the booze already. Health is paramount. You cannot enjoy anything else, be it career, wealth or family, if you are not healthy.
33. Spend more and more time with your loved ones and friends that matter. We think we have forever, but we don’t.
34. Don’t try to stick to adolescence. You are an adult, better start behaving like one. Maturity is pretty sexy. People like people who can hold intelligent conversations.
35. Get involved in country politics (even if it just means that you become aware about the candidates up for election from your area, and going to vote on the voting day). Politics and democracy is for everyone. If you do not represent you in the country politics, do not expect anyone else to represent you.
36. Learn how to invest your money. Most of the bank accounts are nothing but storage accounts. No one becomes rich by saving. People become rich by investing. Also while you are at it, it is never too early to start saving for retirement.
37. And while you do all this, don’t forget to have some fun! Life is shorter than we think it is, and the best years quickly pass by. Enjoy the present. But in the process Fun isnt the only thing you should have!! Focus on your life, after all you are a adult now!!
