time to shift things, try things,
and fail a lot

yr.

14. Take Risk
The biggest risk is not taking any risk. In a
world that’s changing really quickly, the only
strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking
risks.

15. Take Risk
But these are not the kinds of risks you must
take.
- excessive drinking and

You are a grown-up, so your actions, even
when risky, must add to your prospects of a
better future.

16. Take Control of
Your Life
Start using first principles rather than analogy.
- With first principles, you try to break down
what is true about something and make
decisions from that.
- With analogy, on the contrary, you make
decisions based on what people consider to
already be true.

17. Deal With Issues
That Hold You Back
The 20s is the best time to clear any bad experiences that
hold you back or hurt your confidence.
Do not waste your time fixing weaknesses that are not fatal,
{even the most successful people are not perfect.}

Your parents would swear that it’s best to find a decent job
that pays well and keep it until your hair turns gray.
Interestingly, the study said that those who completely
switch careers, not just jobs, at least once, more job
fluctuations predict high income and career satisfaction at
age 32.

movies, he was a famous WWE wrestler. But before even
