10 Important Life’s Lessons You MUST Learn
before You're 30

| Thread

1. Putting yourself first isn't selfish.

You have to put yourself first to achieve anything significant in life.

This does not mean betraying people or taking advantage of others.

It simply means doing what is a priority for you before you commit to other people.

2. Be conscious of the people you spend time with:

Your association determines your acceleration.

Remember this saying by Jim Rohn,

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”

3. Get rid of Bad Habits:

In your 20s, you’re under a great temptation to try things.

Whether it's a poor sleep cycle that you've acquired over the years or it's your excessive smoking tendency

You need to get rid of bad habits now or they’ll destroy you in the nearest future.

4. Don’t take anything for granted

We often don’t appreciate what we have until it’s gone:

- your health
- your family
- opportunity and friends

Nothing in your life is guaranteed to be there
tomorrow.

10 fascinating traits of highly-successful people:

1) Enjoy Being Wrong: The most successful people legitimately enjoy being wrong. They’ve learned to embrace new information that forces you to change your viewpoint—these "software updates" improve upon the old.

2) Work in Sprints: Parkinson's Law says that work expands to fill the time available for its completion. Winners typically work like lions instead—sprint, rest, repeat.

3) Antifragile: Life is chaotic. The best aren't broken by the chaos—they build structure to benefit from it.

4) Paranoia: Highly-successful people share a surprising fear that all of the success is suddenly going to disappear. It creates a drive for continued growth.

5) Self-Awareness: The most successful people are hyper self-aware. They know their unique edge (and their weaknesses).

6) Compartmentalization: An uncanny ability to compartmentalize. They turn off outside stressors and focus exclusively on the task at hand.

7) Focus on Questions, Not Answers: They ask great questions. It allows them to aggregate insights more effectively.

8) Expert Advice Filters: Winners have learned how to filter and selectively implement advice—take the signal, skip the noise.

9) Impatient Long-Term Thinkers: Long-term thinking plus short-term impatience for action is the recipe for success.

15 Life Changing Insights from Swami Vivekananda

| Thread 🧵

1. We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.

- Swami Vivekananda

2. Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea.

Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone.

This is the way to success.

- Swami Vivekananda

3. You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
