10 Lessons I Learned From Making Many Mistakes In My 20s
One of the biggest mistakes we make is that we assume we always learn from our mistakes. I've met enough people who learned little from their own stupidity. We all know these people. In fact, we probably are these people. You know why? It's damned hard to learn from your mistakes.

Learning from mistakes

Key Ideas

Don’t Think You Know Everything

Understand that life is not about impressing others with what you know. It’s about fulfillment, collaboration, and the common good.

If you want to achieve those thing...

Never Blame People For Your Unhappiness

As a child, you’re taken care of by others. Hence, you assume that someone is responsible for you.

When you grow up, you are responsible for you. So never look at others when you’re unhappy. Instead, accept your unhappiness, and then do something about it.

Stop Wasting Time On Losers

There’s a big chance the people in your environment don’t strive for the same things as you. Many people live a timid life. People who don’t want anything from life and who spend their time watching tv.

Don’t give your time to those people. You might become one of them.

“People don’t like to think, if one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.”

Think big, act small

Never let anything hold you back when you think of ideas.

You’ve got nothing to lose. Just make sure you act small. Put in the work and stay practical.

Problems are unanswered questions

Every time you experience stress over a problem, you’re basically sabotaging your life.

A problem is nothing but an unanswered question. So stay calm. And figure out the answer.
