The Best Way To Spend Your Youth

the key to your 20s is to be learning to be constantly learning and your mind opening and learning skills I want you to think in two tracks I want your life to be on two tracks when you're in your 20s most people it's either one track or it's like five tracks okay I want you to have two and what do I mean by that the one track person is I gotta go to law school I gotta make a lot of money my parents are pushing me I gotta become a doctor I gotta make six figures by this time I better get that job at Goldman Sachs et cetera et cetera et cetera as a person who is destined for a life of misery quite honestly yeah you might make a lot of money but you're gonna burn out at some point it's kind of soulless it's not going to anything deep inside of you you know you don't really know what's another happening you will have your 20s will pass and you will have no fun no Adventures you won't be learning anymore it's just that one track other people have five tracks I'm gonna try this I'm gonna try that I'm gonna go to Europe I'm gonna live in a van for a while I'm gonna start a podcast I'm going to write a book I'm gonna do this I'm gonna do that Etc I'm gonna open a restaurant Etc Great find you'll have lots of exciting things that'll happen to you and then you'll turn 30. you haven't really built one solid skill you build a lot of five kind of half things and it set the pattern for your life you're going to be wandering forever forever forever as opposed to the one-track person who's going to burn out and it's going to become perhaps a drug addict or or something like that you're going to become someone who has no discipline who just keeps going from this that the other thing and that'll be your pattern that won't be very satisfying life today's video is in collaboration with Babel the premier language learning app in the world the best app that is out there now I personally have learned four foreign languages in my life Italian French German and Spanish and I want to learn others and I can't emphasize enough to me and to everyone the importance of learning a language learning a language requires a fair amount of discipline which is something we all need more of in life AC competence so when you go to a country you're able to start speaking to people in French or Spanish or Chinese or whatever language it's a lot of fun and because you this conferences you can go on further and further and further Babel is really great because it teaches you real world phrases in real time it's teaching you actual conversation instead of kind of academic approach to language I foreign extremely important that's the kind of skill and pleasure you can have by subscribing to the Apple now battle has various different subscription offers there is also a lifetime subscription and by hitting the link below you can actually get 60 off on your subscription to battle right now so thank you very much and now back to the video the two-track mind the two track twenties is the source of Powell what do I mean by that one track is you are open you're adventurous you're young for God's sake you need to have some fun you need to be open you're only in your 20s once right you want to try some different things you want to have Adventures I did that in my 20s not to say that I am the Paradigm for everyone out there because a lot of things I did I did wrong quite honestly but that was one thing I did I tried everything okay but the two-track mind is I had Focus I knew that I wanted to be a writer so all of the different Adventures that I had kind of ended up funneling in to that and so although I was doing different things I was developing real life skills as a writer so I want you to think of your life in this sense I know what I kind of wanted where I want to go I have a direction this is what I love I'm meant to be into music Etc I meant to start my own business Etc I love technology I'm meant to be an inventor an innovator of some sort you have a good solid sense of what connects to you in the idea of its Sciences it's physical activity it's math it's music it's words it's literature whatever that is okay now you're able to have some room to explore things so you try different forms of Music out you try different businesses out you start this kind of business you start that kind of business you have some fun you're having some Adventures but you're learning so the key to your 20s is to be learning to be constantly learning and your mind opening and learning skills and you're gonna alert skills and you're going to keep learning if you're excited by what you're studying if everything is boring it's just law books or Finance Etc your monitor will close off but if you try things that are within that parameter of what you were meant to do and you're excited by it you'll be developing different skills you're going to create that excitement of life so I want you to bring your youthful energy to your fun your openness to life and I want you to give it a little bit of discipline a little bit of enough Focus that so that you're headed in these two tracks Venture pardon my hands adventure and developing skills those two together that kind of attitude towards life in your 20s will be key because what I want is you wake up you're having your 30th birthday which will happen hopefully at some point to 30th birthday you go wow I know this is what I want to do I have learned so many great things I've had so many great experiences that this is the book I'm going to write that this is the business I'm going to start that this is whatever it is okay I don't care but you've had these advantages you've learned and you go now I'm ready now I'm ready to take it to the next level that's how I want you to approach your 20s if that makes any sense to you
