7 Pieces of Wisdom I Wish I Knew When I Was 18 Years Old
I am a rebel. Back in high school, I used to skip classes to play video games. As a result, my parents used to hate me. But, playing video games helped me understand the real world. If you want to get ahead in life, here are the 7 lessons you should know before you turn 18:I am not a straight-A student. I used to value grades because I came from a family of educators. But grades are not the true measure of success. True success comes from knowing how to apply knowledge in life. You should focus on learning new skills rather than grades. Successful people understand that money comes from your ability to solve problems.I used to think that great writing happens by accident. After reading over 10 books about writing, I learned that I was wrong. Good writing can be learned. You need to practice your craft if you want to see improvement. For example, Lee Child started writing books in his 40s but he is one of the best-selling fiction writers right now. Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, clinical psychologist and best-selling author of 12 Rules of Life, says “If you can think, and speak, and write, you are absolutely deadly.” Young men should learn how to communicate their thoughts instead of watching porn and drinking alcohol.When I was 22 years old, I was diagnosed with chronic tinnitus. According to Penn Medicine, tinnitus is the medical term for “hearing” noises in your ears. Tim Denning also has tinnitus. There is no cure for it. I sent him an email on how to write great content after having tinnitus. He said that you will get used to it. As an artist, you should turn your suffering into creative achievement because people will get inspired by your story.
