20, 30, 40, 50, 60 or 70 years - at any age there is a reason to enjoy life.

When you are 20

Stop worrying about what others will think.

Between twenty and thirty years we spend a lot of time trying to impress others and worry about what they think of us. But with age comes the realization that all this is unimportant. Do what you love without looking at others.

Do not hurry

Now everyone is convinced that success must be achieved as soon as possible. But do not rush too much, you have a whole life ahead of you. There is so much to do. To panic at 20, that you do not have time, it makes no sense.

Create the world you want to live in

Do not go with the flow. Actively change the world around you so that it is the way you want it to be. Think about what kind of person you want to be, what kind of atmosphere you want to work in. If you want to start your own business, do not wait. Start now, when you still have few obligations.

Understand that no one knows everything.

No one - neither your mentors, nor your leaders, nor your idols - have all the answers. It's natural. Work, create, try. Develop and compare yourself less with others.

Don't be too hard on yourself

Do not torment yourself. Do not take your mistakes and failures so close to your heart. Express your opinion and never let yourself be offended.

Remember that skills are more important than ratings.

This is true for most professions, especially for creative ones. So improve as long as you have time for it, as long as you are only required to learn and gain experience.

Do not worry so much

In 20 years, you are unlikely to encounter really serious problems. What now seems the end of the world will soon be perceived as a trifle. Try new things, sometimes be reckless. Stop trying to be cool - it never works. Just live.

Create

Work, make an effort, do what you love. And do not forget that the main thing in life is a creative approach. It is necessary even in business. It is creativity and inspiration that make life whole.

When you are 30

Do not be afraid of mistakes, learn from them

To learn something, you need to experience it on your own experience. If you have opened your own business and are afraid to take a wrong step, remember that mistakes cannot be avoided. Someday you will go the wrong way, hire an unsuitable employee or incur losses. The business itself will be your best teacher.

Excessive empathy can be dangerous

In some areas, it is undesirable to show too much sympathy. For example, at the point of first aid. Yes, the doctor should empathize with the patient, but not so much that it interferes with his work. Of course, not everyone works in conditions when life is at stake. But in any business, it is important to respect the measure of compassion and professionalism.

Any experience is valuable.

If you decide to change your career and try yourself in something new, everything that you have done before will be useful to you in a new field. Even if they do not touch at all, your life experience will still help you.

When you are 40

In business, combine trust with personal responsibility.

Try to see good in people, but at the same time take responsibility, and do not rely entirely on another person. To grow a business, you need to find a balance: at the same time be the captain of your ship and be able to rely on the crew.

It is impossible to control everything, but you can adapt

Even in difficult and turbulent times, try to adapt. Imagine yourself grass: in the wind, it bends but does not break. Be open to change and accept them with gratitude.

Make concessions

There will always be disagreements at work and in personal life. Try to negotiate them and come to a compromise. To achieve something important, you need to work together.

When you are 50

Enjoy


Enjoy every day. Keep experimenting, try something new. If you want to do something, do it.

Set your own rules

If it seems that you are constantly under great pressure from the outside, consider whether the reason is in you. Many are accustomed to believe that you should always give all the best to one another and deal with several projects at the same time. This eventually leads to fatigue and discontent. We unconsciously set such rules for ourselves. Choose your own rules carefully.

When you are 60

Be patient and persistent

It takes much longer to achieve some goals than we anticipate. Have patience and perseverance to not be disappointed.

Wisdom comes with time


At 25 there simply cannot be the same wise judgments as at 65. Yes, perhaps this is not necessary. This would prevent us from doing all the nonsense that needs to be done in our youth.

When you are 70

Every age has its own ups and downs

At 25 it seems to us that we know everything. By 30 and 40, we begin to realize that it is not. And in the following decades, we truly understand ourselves and our desires.
And in 77 you can feel young

To feel young, int
