If you are in your twenties listen up! (by Justin Kan)

Here are 9 things he wishes he could tell his younger self:
Be kind to others and especially yourself. You will become much happier, fulfilled, and more pleasant to be around.
Kindness goes beyond being ‘nice’ or polite - it is about being intentional and going above and beyond to extend your compassion.
Everything takes time I get it, you want things to be an overnight success. Everything that seems to happen instantly will crumble just as fast.
Appreciate the journey and take the time to do things the right way, even if takes a bit longer to get there
Be curious about other people. You don’t need to be famous to connect with other people. Approach each conversation (even with a stranger) in an open manner and seek to learn as much as you can
You will be surprised at how much someone else can teach you about yourself.
Write down your values. Most people are very good at setting goals, but terrible at staying consistent enough to reach them. Listing them down will help you visualize and reinforce your growth trajectory and help you become the person you want to be
Build good daily habits. Your habits form the framework of your identity (good or bad). Start accumulating good ones early and set yourself up for success instead of wasting years trying to break bad ones.
Have fun in the present. Don’t work your whole life in slave to the future - you won't notice it pass you by until it's already too late
That’s it for today - Which few resonated with you the most?
