DON’T make these mistakes in your 20s | Ankur Warikoo

A lot can happen in your 20s. There are so many changes happening to you and around you; friends, family, career, relationships. You make mistakes. You learn. You explore. It's a whole new journey!
When I was in my 20s, I made several mistakes too.
00:00 Introduction
02:15 Never asked myself if I was happy doing what I was
03:20 Looked down on people who smoke/drink
04:20 Didn't seek learning, did it to look cool
05:20 Treated it as my failure for not being able to pull people from misery
06:15 Thought money would solve all problems
07:11 Thought privileged people will never make it in life
08:30 Didn't focus on my physical health and diet
09:25 Thought my happiness depended on how other people thought of me
10:20 Took heaps of Loan
11:25 Thought some courses as inferior to others
12:45 Believed that speaking skills were all I needed
13:35 Didn't listen
15:00 Forced plan making
16:25 Thought the purpose was life was to make it comfortable
17:40 Felt entitled to a person's time
18:30 Was in a hurry to make money
19:45 Blamed myself for being 'late'
21:23 Assumed my work will speak for myself
22:15 Felt the pressure to settle :)
23:30 Conclusion
I wish I hadn't made some of those mistakes, but I'm also glad that I made them because I've learnt so much from them.
The reason I share this is to let you know that it is okay to make mistakes, as long as you learn from them. However, a smarter way to learn from mistakes would be to learn from others' mistakes.
And I hope this video can help you see and reflect on some of those.
Wish you epic 20’s and an epic life ahead :))
