Throughout the years, what have you learned about life/business/love etc? Through experience wether good or bad? If you can give an advice to someone or yourself from 5 years ago, what would you say? What are your regrets?

For me, it would've been striking while the iron is hot in some niches that I've lucky to be first at. Never imagined that competition would be as fierce as today. When I was younger, I thought that IM would always be this obscure thing that only a very small fraction of the population would have knowledge about. Then came smartphones. The vloggers flaunting their riches earned through the internet. The people inventing mainstream terms like digital nomads and such.

Also, cultivating the friendship that I had with people who genuinely wanted to be friends with me. Instead of spending time with temoorary people.

Working out, especially cardio in my earlier twenties.

And also not being a loose cannon emotionally. Especially to the people close to me.
 
I am too young to regret things but here are the words that I follow - Pursuit what is meaningful (Not what is expedient)
 
"Each one their own." my own words formulated in my native language. I don't know if I translated it correctly, but I live by these words since I understood that everyone has their own ecerything (lifestyle, perception of life, meaning of good and bad, vision of pretty and ugly...). That makes the world a beautiful place and people would be less judgmental to each other if they understand that. But again, everyone is different in each aspect of their being.
 
Interesting topic! Cool idea!

When I was 18 I had to do military service. And I still remember my sergeant who said "nothing can fuck you as hard as you need it". Sounds stupid at first. But every time things got hard and I thought I couldnt do shit I said that to myself.
This is how I learned the power of affirmations and that I should choose the words I use towards myself carefully.
I likie this quote of David Bowie:
"Well I might make an abolute fool of myself but I'm going for it!" :D
 
Living a life of honesty creates peace of mind, and peace of mind is priceless. Period. Don’t be dishonest and don’t put up with people who are.

I second your opinion. Nothing like peace of mind.

“Can’t fix stupid, if I could I would be out of work”
My day job is workplace safety
 
“If no mistake you have made, losing you are. A different game you should play.”

Another good one is; Train hard, fight easy.


One of mine is; Treat others how you would expect to be treated yourself
 
Work on building your empire or someone else will hire you to build theirs
 
Whatever it may seem. If one is not financially rich, then one needs to atleast initially hustle almost 24/7 in order to achieve financial goals as soon as possible.

One thing life as taught me is one disposition determines the end result to everything that comes our way. Whether good or bad stay positive and cheerful, you can always get the best of everything with a single eye.
