20 pieces of advice for young people

In this era of rapid change and fierce competition, young people are facing many challenges and opportunities. How to achieve success and happiness both personally and professionally is a topic that many people care about. Based on the author’s personal experience and observations, this article summarizes 20 pieces of advice for young people, involving family, friends, decision-making, cognition, business, negotiation, etc., hoping to be helpful to the growth and development of young people.

Here are 20 pieces of advice for young people:

1. Every family needs a leader to take responsibility and direction for the future development of the family. If you don’t take on this role, your loved ones may remain in a state of waiting and helplessness, or even be unable to realize their dreams for the rest of their lives.

2. Don’t say irrelevant words. This will reduce your right to speak and influence, and make people lose trust and respect for your opinions, including your family. When you speak, make sure your words are worth more than your silence.

3. Don’t make risky and impulsive decisions easily, even to achieve great goals. Most of the successful people in ancient times were flexible and clever in dealing with problems on the basis of adhering to the right path. Life is an irreversible path, and you must be rational and cautious when making major decisions.

4. Friends can be divided into two categories: helpful and unhelpful. Don’t waste your limited energy on useless people. Strong people know what value they have that can be exploited by others. Only by knowing yourself can you know others.

5. Gradually develop a habit of reflection and learning, and transform the question ‘Why did this happen to me’ into ‘What enlightenment did this incident bring to me and what did it teach me.’ Believe me, whether it is good or bad, it will improve the quality of your life.

6. If you don’t feel that you were stupid and wrong last year, then you may have missed another year of growth opportunities. A person with a growth mindset will continue to check and correct himself in the process of continuous progress.

7. Life is hard and complaining won’t help. All difficulties and setbacks help you improve your ability to cope with adversity and exercise your courage and decision-making ability when facing challenges. Behind you being polished by life, hidden is the happy old age of your parents.

8. Sincerity is the most effective weapon when communicating with people, and it can also save energy. Especially when communicating with excellent people, others can see through your subtle tricks at a glance. In this era of excess IQ, sincerity will appear particularly attractive.

9. When faced with a major decision that is difficult to make, try to think from another perspective and imagine what choices a great person, celebrity or field expert you admire would make when faced with the same problem, and you may be able to find the answer.

10. A sense of mystery and boundaries can enhance your personal charm and make others feel that you are a high-ranking person when they come into contact with you, and the other party will also psychologically think of themselves as a low-ranking person, which will give you an advantage in negotiations. Remember, every word you say in a negotiation is carefully planned by you.

11. People who can achieve great things have strong self-motivation and execution ability. Thinking is just a question; doing is the answer; lying still is always the audience. ¹⁶[16]What’s the use of thinking more if you can’t turn your thoughts into actions?

12. Improving awareness is a prerequisite for making money. Your cognitive level determines how big the market and opportunities you can see. If you want to make more money, you must raise your cognitive level to a higher level.

13. The strong will never follow the crowd. If a person does not even have the ability to think independently, then he is no different from a puppet being manipulated or a zombie without a soul! Promise me that you will always maintain the ability to think independently, even if the whole world is against you.

14. When you make up your mind to do something, you must devote yourself to it wholeheartedly, leaving no way out, and execute your will firmly, with full enthusiasm and belief, never give up, and never give up until you achieve your goal. Nothing is impossible.

15. An idea that comes out of nowhere does not mean a viable business model. Don’t regard your ‘subjective needs’ as ‘objectively existing needs’. Mature business models have been verified and fed back by the market, not your imagination.

16. Don’t go against the general trend. Where the people are, there will be traffic; where the traffic is, there will be money. Always be in the upstream industry. If others need to learn knowledge, you will be an educator; if others need to dig for gold, you will be a tool supplier.

17. Once you have made up your mind to do something, you must concentrate on it, devote yourself wholeheartedly, spare no effort to execute your will, inject enthusiasm and belief, and never give up or give up. Nothing is impossible.

18. When you have a sense of family mission, you will no longer blame your parents, because they have given you the best. People who start from scratch never envy the second generation of officials and rich people. What their parents give them can only be called ‘background children’, but what they give them is called ‘kingdom’!

19. Strong people have a banker mentality. If you don’t know how to do it, learn it. If you can’t do it, outsource it. If you don’t have a title, just cooperate with others. No one is omnipotent and omniscient. The banker does not need to be proficient in every aspect. You only need to integrate resources and coordinate the overall situation.

20. The market always rewards those with vision and innovation. Nowadays, online customer acquisition and online delivery are the trend of the times for ordinary people. Your various professional knowledge can be monetized, and there will always be demand, and it will always resist the cycle.

These advices are not immutable truths, but a kind of inspiration and guidance, and everyone can choose and adjust them according to their actual situation and goals. Young people must have confidence and courage, continue to learn and make progress, not be afraid of failure and setbacks, have a sense of responsibility and mission, have the spirit of innovation and change, and have the character of sincerity and wisdom, so that they can survive in this complex and ever-changing world. Find your place and value in the world.
