What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you?
My best advice to someone younger than me is to get out of a job mindset and become a risk-taker. Most of us are complacent and want an easy life where we go to the office, work defined hours, come home, and get paid. Instead of helping someone else make his dreams come true, we should work on our own dreams by building something of our own that can provide financial stability and a legacy for future generations.
Achieving this is tougher than it sounds, but it’s worth a try. If we don’t even try to build something of our own and depend on someone else for our paycheck, that paycheck can vanish anytime our company stops loving us.
Especially these days, with AI advancing, people are losing jobs here and there, and they have no backup plan. Not everyone can have that entrepreneurial mindset, but those who even consider it should try.
The biggest risk is not taking any risk – Mark Zuckerberg
If you are still in that boat of confusion and uncertainty, don’t think; commit to your dream. Even if you don’t achieve your goal, at least you won’t have the regret of not doing anything. Take any success story: successful people didn’t succeed overnight or in a single shot; they failed, got up, changed their strategy, tried again, learned, and through constant correction finally achieved what many couldn’t.
Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. – H. Jackson Brown Jr.
Success requires one key ingredient, and though it’s challenging, it’s essential: consistency. You might not have the right skill, the motivation, or the results, but doing the activity consistently can make your dreams possible.
I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times. – Bruce Lee
