If I could go back to 20 years old, I would definitely do the following crazy things
If I could go back to 18 years old, when I was still in college, I think I would do the following things
1. Study making money, the most telling thing about a person's ability in society is making money, I would obsessively study how to make money, trying everything related!
If I really did that, I would have more bullets to invest on a larger scale, whether online or offline heavy asset investments!
2. Read more history books. Although I didn't read ten thousand books in college, I traveled to many places. Looking back, I realize that those moments were beautiful, but we all hope for a perfect ending in everything.
If I could calm down and read more history books instead of only finding time during internships and work, I would gain more, or have more time, and also experience greater growth in cognitive thinking.
Now, during entrepreneurship or investment, I often encounter my own thinking biases. Whenever I feel confused, I turn to biographies like "Zeng Guofan" or "Mao Zedong," always seeking inspiration.
3. Cultivate output-oriented hobbies, seriously build in public for 1-2 years, and you will see unexpected results!
Time is the biggest barrier, whether in investment or entrepreneurship, it’s the same!
I think of Andy writing to the state government, and they sent him some scraps to dismiss him, saying: "It took only six years to get these."
In prison, prisoners lack nothing but time. In the long river of life, what we lack the most and what we have the most is also time.
4. Make good decisions, take the majority's opinion, in your twenties, your judgments and decisions are very naive, even wrong.
If I could go back to that time, I would seek advice from the most successful people within my reach about future career planning, instead of overthinking within my fixed thinking models.
From a higher perspective, make higher choices, and achieve higher results.
Looking back now, I realize I was too closed-minded back then, unwilling to listen to others’ opinions, missing many opportunities that can never be regained.
Of course, from the perspective of being 30, reviewing my 20-year-old self, I think the four most important things I would tell myself are the above.
Study making money, read more history books, cultivate output hobbies with time, and find more capable friends to make better decisions.
Studying making money is simple, go wherever there is money? Just go there first!
Read more history books, pick up biographies of famous people and read directly, the cost is minimal!
Cultivate output hobbies, stick to one thing for a month when you think of it, and results will come naturally!
Making good decisions is even simpler, listen to whoever has more money and a better life. I never listen to advice from people worse off than me. If the advice is good, then they must be doing better than me! #加密市场行情震荡
