And you realize that the most productive time of life has been spent God knows what. So, what do you need to know about the time between twenty and thirty years.
The big mistake of the new millennium is that the age of twenty to thirty is considered to be the age when "you can walk." Allegedly "the thirty - a new twenty." Health a lot, a lot of strength, and it seems like it will last forever. But this is a deceptive position.
Scientists have proven that 80% of the fateful events occur in a person's life to thirty-five years.
Two-thirds of the growth in income accounted for the first ten years of career. For thirty years, more than half of people get married, start dating or living together with future companions of life. human personality is changing most active from twenty to thirty years.

"After thirty, I really alive!"
There is an interesting myth that haunts those who are between twenty and thirty. People in this age think that after thirty life quickly changes and becomes much steeper than twenty. We think that if our life is not anything interesting happen in twenty-odd years, it will happen after thirty. We think that the most interesting things will come later.
However, during one of the few research staff of Boston and the University of Michigan analyzed hundreds of stories written by famous people at the end of their earthly journey. They found that the important events taking place from birth to death, but still that part of them which determined the future life, accounted for a period of twenty to thirty years.
What actually happens after thirty?
If thirty not accumulate any platform, it will be a very sad and hard ten. When we leave everything for later, after thirty on our shoulders lies a huge burden: we need to something to succeed, to get married and procreate, Earn money and buy an apartment, to establish a business or get promotions - and all this in a very short period of time. Many of these tasks are simply incompatible; Moreover, after thirty much more difficult to deal with all of these simultaneously.
The best time to build a career
The most important events in the field of career, oddly enough, are taking place at this time.
About two-thirds of the salary increases accounted for the first ten years of professional experience.
In more than twenty years people can have a sense that there is still ten years, during which they will earn more and more, but it is only a dream. How to safely either passed this period, those who started a career quite late, and will not be able to bridge the gap that separates them from those who began to move up the career ladder earlier. Do you remember about the rule 10,000 hours?
Serious approach to relations
If you build a career can be compared to a game of blackjack (when you want to see the cards when making decisions; play with two hands, remembering at the same time the current winnings; be prepared to take the risk), then choose a partner in life - it's like to go to the roulette wheel and place all your chips on red.
One solution depends your choice of partner, and all related aspects of adult life. Money, work, life, family, health, leisure, retirement and even death - everything turns into a running race in pairs (when the leg of one runner associated with the leg of the other).
Therefore, when in twenty years people postpone the creation of long-term relationship for later, should understand that in thirty years it will make much more complicated.
Inaction between twenty and thirty - dangerous. Of course, after thirty brain remains plastic, but it is not already developing such a frantic pace as before. These "golden" decade - the most easy time to become what we hope to become. Do not wake him.
