Then came my friend Vlad home. Since the time it was early and the pair did not want to, we have included Enigma album and slept safely until the third or even the fourth pair. Then, after waking up and going to college, which was only 200 meters from the hostel.
The Institute on the fourth year we played the fool. No one has done their homework. Vapor we sat in their phones.
Main hobby was the evening watching movies with friends in a dormitory or persistent races in Need for speed. We also were playing in Far Cry, Mafia, GTA, and a bunch of other games.

What I want to advise those who are now 20 years old?
That their life has been really successful, because for 10 years it is possible to achieve really good results.
1. Choose a career in which you want to be realized
I am sure that 9 out of 10 of your friends do not know what career they will build. They think it would deal with at some point in the future, but never do. They eventually find work on which will be unhappy, Incompetent and earn little.
Why do I insist on the fact that you now have to do career building? Yes, because you are laying the foundation. Or your career will develop in the same way as a career 94% of all people, and to pensions in the best case you will earn 2 000 000-3 dollars, or you build a brilliant career with an income of up to $ 50 000 per month (average income of the general director of a large company).
Here's a chart that shows how much you can earn per month to the control pits (top graph) and without career monitoring (bottom):
So, for your life you will earn 10 times as much, or 12 million dollars more. Even if you half to earn extra money to spend a comfortable life, then to 6 million dollars you can buy a cool house, cool car, to ensure a dignified old age his parents, teaching children and taking care of his health and financial well-being in old age.
That's why I'm not saying that you need to save money. You need to build a career, and the money will come by themselves.

When choosing a job is never a reference point on the proposed salary. Look further - what career prospects are in this company, how much the company pays in comparison to the market.
It should now be much more important than the short-term wage for you company's potential.
You get far more important than knowledge, experience and a good manager than a quick profit. To give preference to large companies with a staff of 2000 people, preferably with foreign capital.
This company should be a very good reputation, and its top manager should be sure to include in the list of the top 100 most successful managers.

3. Create a detailed vision of yourself in 30 years, and follow him
This is the most amazing advice. Once in my 16 years, I have read a book by Napoleon Hila "Think and Grow Rich." I lived in Kharkov and studied at the Lyceum. There, one of the exercises was to write a vision of myself in 20 years. Then I wrote that I wanted to live in Kiev, have their own apartment, a car, and as Director of the family. Then I could not imagine that all of this will come true only after 14 years.
So let's write down your vision is now 10 years old.
To this end, in each row describe how you imagine your life in each area in 10 years. There should be specific, measurable things.
The sphere of life | Description of the future in 10 years |
Career, job | |
Health, physical condition | |
Relationships, family, love | |
wealth, financial situation | |
Self-realization, hobby | |
Personal development |
Revising their vision each year and make changes.
4. Spend a lot of money and time on their studies
In 20 years, it seems that learning in training, attending conferencesReading professional books - it's expensive. But if you do not develop yourself, then you pay a much higher price for their ignorance. So here's your plan for the next 10 years:
- 1 professional (best) conference per year.
- 1 training on the development of personal qualities in the year (negotiation, public speaking, time management).
- 2 core low-cost activities in the year.
- 1 book per month for professional or business topic, I highly recommend reading:

♦ Walter Isaacson's "Steve Jobs";
♦ Howard Schultz, "Pour it in your heart";
♦ Richard Branson "Losing virginity";

- 1 profile magazine in six months.
- 1 every 2 weeks go on different evening meetings, meetings at the professional and business topics. Participation cost is usually between 10 and 30 dollars.
5. Go in for sports, but it will help to overcome the most difficult tests
I started to play sports even in the third grade. Went to athletics, then he dropped. In eighth grade the first time I went to the gym. I am walking five days a week for 1.5 hours, and even made a good power results, although not scored a lot of due to the fact that spending a lot of calories, and eating normally. Then he went to the ninth grade, about six months, and also dropped for the same reason - there was no visible result. There were also attempts to study at home at the bar and at the Institute.
After graduation, I went in for sports. For 10 years I gained 16 kg of weight, mostly fat. Then I went to do in the gym, but this time read a lot of articles and tips and changed diet. I typed finally the desired weight and visually it became more.
But this is nothing compared to my discovery: I became much tougher, more confident, more persistent, more creative and able-bodied. I can safely say that gym It provided me a serious breakthrough in life. It was thanks to him that I'm pretty quiet suffered a crisis in 2014, while in 2008 it was very hard. And it's not that this is the second crisis in my life, and I really helped the hall.
6. Find the wife / husband, then your standards are too high
This must be done for several reasons. In fact, the older we get, the more we are more pragmatic. We are no longer willing to put up with the shortcomings and know his worth. Guy as a girl, after 25 hard to find a partner and get married.
Meanwhile, the family - this is a very strong incentive for the development and living a more conscious life.
7. Travel, no children
Of course, there are exceptions, but a typical family is not very comfortable traveling with a small child. And there are so many interesting countries to which you can go until you're young and you do not have children, or you will go to have when your children become adults - Vietnam, Thailand, India…
In addition, the journey - it's a powerful way to develop an outlook. When you see a fundamentally different kind of life, you begin to think differently. Do not visit the same country. Part of me geography. Do not think that the trip - it's expensive. Sometimes it's even cheaper than a trip to the Crimea.
8. Raduy yourself gifts
While you are young, you will please a brand new iPhone, fitness bracelet, the next model of the Macbook, the latest Adidas running shoes and more. It is foolish to deny yourself all this, as you then it would not be interesting. Not to save money - think how to make it.
But do not buy on credit or phone equipment. Do not buy it and to pay - just to earn extra money. How to make them? read my an article on the seven ways to improve RFP.
9. Take an apartment on credit
Yes, I credit the enemy. I think the mortgage evil. But you have no other way to find your accommodation to 30 years, except for the loan. Sometimes it is more profitable credit rental housing. But bear in mind, you must fulfill the following conditions:
- payment of loan It should not be higher than 35% of family income (this means that when one of you loses his job, the loan will be 70% of the second income if you earn the same).
- Whole year postpone monthly amount equal to the payment on the loan - protestiruesh themselves and soberosh advance.
- Take credit only in local currency. The savings on interest on foreign currency loan is always eaten rising currency. A national currency is subject to inflation, around 10% annually, and it works for you.
- Returns a tax credit for a mortgage. This is 15% of the amount of interest paid. How? Find out at a friend's lawyers, it's real simple.
- If you can, instead take a bank loan installments from the builder: it usually does not take interest on the loan.
- Having received a loan, collect a deposit in the amount of six monthly payments on the loan in case of crisis.
- If you can not pay? Go to the bank and takes time to simplify loan repayment terms - do not get into debt with relatives or in another bank.
10. Buy a car
You can save a lot of time when you will have a car. Your car can be a place where you listen audiobooks. I bought the car in '23. In it, I listened to 50 audio books and trainings. Sometimes my audio books were the only salvation during heavy coils career.
Now the car - it's not too expensive. The Good, the Mighty Smart is already available for 4500 dollars. It you have enough for five years. It is economical and does not require investment. And collect it you can have with CP in 1000 dollars a month.
11. Make new contacts and friends
In 30 years, you know that the best your friends - those with whom you met 25. Later making friends is much harder.
But you can not bring friends and interesting acquaintances. Over time, you begin to understand how it's cool when you have unusual friends and interesting people. With their help you will be able to solve their problems, to develop, to find new ways of solving problems.
How to find such people? Just pay attention to those who have excelled in their careers more than others. Let me give you a small example of interesting people with whom I have met over the last month:
- The artist, who draws sketches during a speech at a conference speaker. He draws animated selling videos.
- Chairman condominiums (association of owners of apartment buildings).
- Energy Efficiency Manager.
- Director of recruitment agency.
- The head of the youth organization.
- Director of a language school.
Imagine how many different tips and advice I can get from these people. In turn, and I told them I can be very useful.
12. Rodi child 26 years
Before - too early for a career later - it will be difficult. I think that this is the best age.
And it's not so difficult:
- State aid is really good.
- Maternity and sick leave are about five salaries.
- Find adequate nurse nowadays already possible.
- Payment babysitting less than the wages of the man who is building a career.
- All other costs of the child: food, toys, clothes - fall harmoniously in the family budget, and find there its place.
13. Bring a list of your achievements
Firstly, the very existence of achievements in life increases the level of human happiness.
Martin Seligman, an American psychologist and founder of positive psychology, has identified five components of happiness:
- Positive emotions (of which below).
- Engagement - this is where you build your favorite career and are using their talents.
- Relationship - about them was a council number 11.
- Understanding the meaning of life (next tip).
- Achieve - presence of success in life.
Lead blog achievements, and you yourself will be surprised how positively it affects you.
14. To pay attention to his philosophy
Usually between 20 and 30 years of people are starting to think about his purpose and meaning of life. Everyone goes their own unique way, and to give universal advice here will not work. But it usually happens like this: you start to be interested in questions of psychology, philosophy, religion, and some themes or trends, or teaching attract your attention.
Therefore, I recommend to listen to your intuition and explore the topics that interest you.
15. Look for positive emotions
I would like to end on a positive, so this advice is in last place, but he is not the least important.
Positive emotions - this is the point of our lives. But, oddly enough, they can be controlled.
I recommend you make a list:
What makes me more positive | What brings me the negative |
Fill in the table. Look for more meetings with the first column and avoid the second.
Here you can include people, material things, Places that you visit, the activity that you are doing, and so on.
I can say that I was lucky to find these tips for yourself and follow them between my 20 and 30 years.
The main thing I remember: if you do something you like very much and constantly are moving to this, despite all the setbacks, you will achieve this. Now my credit is the phrase:
If you want to something to succeed, dedicating this case 10, 000 hours.
I have a new goal: I want to be a CEO for 35 years, and I dedicate my time to this issue. This article - my 3 hours from 10,000 hours, as I believe that the ability to develop other people - one of the main distinguishing features of the CEO.
Good luck in the next 10 years!
