Reviewing My 20s On My 30th Birthday
30 Lessons Learned
It’s my 30th birthday, and I’m reviewing this past century full of memories, lessons, and experiences.
And I want to share with you my 30 lessons:
You are never too old or too young to change
I had a quarter-life crisis when I was 22 and was working at my first full-time job. I couldn’t find the purpose in this job and it made me miserable that I could live like this until I was 65.
So I struggled, and I thought I was too old to change my profession (yes, at 22!) and start studying again.
It took months of thinking through all the possibilities and making up my mind. It was necessary to change.
The farewell card I got from colleagues back then sums it up:
in English: “Should. Could. Would. DID!”
Invest in myself and in my future earlier
Time is the key to increasing the value of investments, so I would have loved to start sooner. Not just investing in my future by buying some ETFs or shares, but also investing in myself. (no investing advice, it’s different for everyone)
