Hey Pandas, What's Some Advice You'd Like To Share With Younger Generations? (Closed)

You only get one body to live in. Don't f**k it up beyond repair.

Stop trying to make your car louder. No one is going to say “ wow. Listen to that”. It’s more like “ what an idiot “.

Live your life for you! Don't live it to please other's expectations

Before you move out of your parents house to start your new life, save a much money as you can. This will be the last time you will have such expendable income, do not waste it. Starting a new life, whether buying or renting, is way more expensive than you will think it will be.

Remember how it feels to be young. Remember what it's like to be a teenager, a student, a parent. Because you will go through life having so much more empathy and understanding for people if you remember how it feels to be them.

You’re not special, you’re just you. Every generation thinks they have it all figured out, and that the older generations don’t have a clue. This has happened over and over, for thousands of years. Do your part, don’t be a d!ck

6. Don't monetize your hobby and listen to the "if you love your work you'll never work a day in your life" crowd. Monetising your hobby makes you hate your hobby because then it becomes a time-pressured chore. You need time off, and a hobby is just for that.

1. Keep your face off the internet
2. Invest in a cheap World ETF
3. Sunscreen

1. Your twenties are where you party and make mistakes. It's ok to make mistakes then. BUT do yourself a favour and moderate your drinking, don't drive drunk, avoid drugs, and use contraceptives. Having a kid in your 20s sets you up for poverty.

Don't be afraid to be yourself. Your true athentic self. Look how you want without self-consciousness. Say what you mean and feel without being rude or offensive. Treat others as you'd wish to be treated. Most important, enjoy your life because it could end at any time.

this may not be what you want to hear but life is hard. it can feel like it is unforgiving of your mistakes. people will hurt you, disappoint you. and, that's okay. because once you accept that you become wiser in avoiding the negative influences in life as well as handling those that you can't avoid. life is not fair but that doesn't mean it has to defeat you. pick your battles carefully but be true to your heart and soul. it may not be popular but if it right then it is worth it. most of all, remember to laugh at it all - the good, the bad, through the tears and screaming because when it comes down to it no one gets out of this life alive.

2. Your your thirties you need to think about getting some sort of career together. Please do not get married or have kids till you have a stable job and income that can cover the costs.

Here’s my advice. Don’t fck it up. It’s already fcked, but don’t make it worse. Like for example don’t spend all ur time on screens, be more responsible, don’t add to global warming or pollution, stay healthy, don’t start WW3, get a good job, don’t be lazy, don’t spend money recklessly, go to school, and uh..yea. I’m gonna get downvoted for this.

3. Always buy insurance, especially on your car. If you live outside of the EU or areas with good public transport, losing your car can mean losing your job.

7. Be a people person even if you aren't. I'm a super introvert. BUT I have tons of friends. The simplest rules I follow are (a) be nice to everyone, (b) help everyone, except at significant cost to yourself, and except people who are chancers/takers/leeches, (c) make friends with lots of people - you do this by asking about THEM and texting THEM to see how they are. One day one of them will help you out. (d) Learn to set boundaries and say "no." Not just because they're eating into your time, but because people who don't respect boundaries become leeches and eventually you're just their butler/aupair.

Sign up for a course, even a cheap one on say Coursera or whatever. Because you need to keep your resume up to date and ensure your skillset is certified. Otherwise -> no job.

Mine is one that I've learned the hard way. If someone in your life, whether they be family or friends, is making you question yourself in ways such as who to trust, who to believe, are you good enough, ect, cut them out of your life asap. They will only bring you down more and more. It may be hard, but it will be better for you if you do cut them out of your life. I've had people in my life who made me feel like c**p and made me question my own sanity and caused me to have major trust issues and depression and I've suffered for years because of it. If I cut them out of my life the first time they made me cry and have a major mental breakdown bad enough I almost got sent to the mental hospital, then I'd probably be in a much better place in my life. So my tip is, cut out the toxic people. They aren't good for you and they are just gunna bring you down. Focus on the relationships that make you feel good about yourself.

HAVE FUN/ No matter what you do in life, school, work, etc. Make sure you leave some time to have fun. Otherwise you''ll get so much stress
