Someone posted a similar thread a couple weeks ago -- here is my input:


Few things I've learned (am 33):

-Nobody is going to "save you" or tell you what to do. Nobody can fix your life except you.

-You can make a TON of progress in anything in a couple of years (career, health, relationships, etc.)

-Life can change a TON (both positively and negatively) in the blink of an eye, almost at random

-Showing up / getting started is 50% of the battle

-Consistency is key in just about anything

-Positive mindset (even when you don't feel like it) is really helpful and powerful

-Surrounding yourself with productive, successful people is important (you're a product of who you hang out with)

Sounds good, I'll leave your name in my suicide letter explaining why I did this.

Forget the number and remember you're only as old as the girl you're feeling.

27 was my GOAT year.

OK....here are my suggestions...from a 73 year old.

Talk less, listen more....just because one has an opinion that does mean it needs to be expressed or that anyone actually wants to hear it.
Think before you speak.

Cherry pick one's battles in life....choose to engage in the ones that will likely achieve the positive end result one is looking for.

Know how to behave in a world that doesn't revolve around YOU.

Every day is good day...it's attitudes that can suck.
If you're above the dirt this morning, revel in it.

Set the best example of honesty, integrity and respectable judgement among all in your orbit.

Much of what one wants to achieve in life and truly worth doing will require sacrifice....life is hard and all need to get used to it.

Lastly....don't confuse knowledge with wisdom....wisdom comes with age....know the difference and strive for each.

That's my brief take on it.....carry on.

Lotta solid posts in here already. And it may be cliche' but the easiest way to think about it is "Plan as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die tomorrow."

- 27 is young enough to still start and achieve almost anything. Don't wait if you already know what that thing is.
- Spend and Enjoy as much time as possible making yourself happy. Especially include those people you love and care about the most, be it friends or family.
- Make sure everything you do today, you will be happy about tomorrow. From investments to partying.


No one takes anything with them, you can build an empire and it will one day be dust. But dying knowing you gave it everything you had and lived exactly how you wanted can never be taken from you.
Are you not entertained?

Oh man, i'm turning 27 in a couple weeks too. Time moves faster the older you get. I still remember posting in teenmisc way back in the day. At this age we still have several strong years to make **** happen. I keep reminding myself to take bigger risks. We can lose everything we have right now and still bounce back up. That gets harder after 30.

That thing you've been wanting to do. You know what I'm talking about. Go fuking do it. Now. The only thing stopping you is laziness and fear. 27 is still young af.

It sounds cliche but life comes at you fast, and it only gets faster the older you get. You are going to wake up tomorrow and be 30.

Oh, and if you find wifey material, lock he down asap. Dating is grim in your 30's

Unless you are a headhunter, I suppose, then you literally do just employ tradies

I'm 28 and let me tell you don't trust a sloot when it comes to birth control I have seen a lot of dreams got destroyed and freedom got taken away because of unwanted pregnancy. Now you are no longer working for yourself but to pay child support and other utilities imagine working for another clone of you just lol!

Nail the fark out of your career. Work out what you want, set goals and knock it out of the park.

That's the big one because it takes time to develop.
