Tips from the Trenches: “21 Things I Wish I Knew in My Twenties”
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009In this installment of “Tips from the Trenches”, a leadership/management/ethics blogger gives us his “21 Things I wish I knew in my Twenties.” Here’s a sampling of his advice…
1. This too shall pass.
2. What they say is required is not really what is required.
3. The whole world is not looking at you.
7. Don’t regard the spiritual as impractical. It may well be the most practical thing in your life.
8. If you are trying to impress someone, your priorities are skewed.
10. The journey from A to B often goes from A to Z, M, and D before arriving at B.
13. You are far from the only nervous person in the room.
14. Don’t burn bridges. You may need them sooner than you think.
15. There are many times when it is better to be kind than clever.
17. Talk more with your parents and, if possible, tape some of their reminiscences.
18. Be reluctant to assign bad motives to others. Most of us are blundering, not conspiring.
21. Try not to trip over the rocks on your way to the horizon. Don’t let your grand vision distract you from what is needed to achieve it.
