A very 'Smart' Question indeed! Thanks my dear!

Following is a list of  the most difficult and useful things which the young people need to learn in their twenties:

  1. Patience; which is a rare thing to be found in young people in their twenties, but is very much necessary for them to learn.
  2. Decision-making; normally about choosing the right profession is the most important thing to be learnt by young people.
  3. Self-motivation; which is important to learn for the attainment of their goals.
  4. Listening to their Elders; which is normally very difficult for the youngsters in their twenties, but they must listen to their elders to avoid any pitfalls in future.
  5. Develop a serious attitude; which undoubtedly is very difficult for young people to adopt, but is very much needed by them to master.
  6. Lasting Relationship development; normally the young people are prone to dive into the pool of causal relationships, and they need to learn how to develop lasting relationships.
  7. Self-management, which helps young people to take control of their physical and mental health.
  8. To discern between the right and the wrong; which is very difficult for the young people,but they must be able to select the right path to achieve their desired goals.

Here are the two top things I've learned in my 20s:

1.    There are always going to be people smarter and better  than me.

 

2.     Success is a product of hard work, not just  talent , it doesn't hurt to have a talent, but not a must to be successful .

20s is very important stage of a person, it is the time to build infrastructure for future superstructure. By mid 20 one is set to join a field he chooses and enters in to a career that may prolong till last. It is the time to take right decision taking all knowledge, education, advice and the present trend to enter in to a career. It is an advice to students that before 25 strive hard, get the education required and enter in to a career life that is worth and may give good reward in life. 20s is a most important stage of a person, it is the corner store of life, hot blood, enthusiasm, confidence, courage, initiation, agility, youtfulness and romance all peak in this stage of life. It is the time to take right decision regarding advancement of education, entering a worthy career, choosing the right partner of life after getting a suitable career path and building base for future life.

Thanks Noufal Ali and  farhana fari  for the invitation

 

Its a wonderful question from  dear farhana fari

 

First and foremost,

patience

Which leads us to know well when and to where we must take our first step

Where to begin from and how to begin and what we have chosen as a start for us is the right and proper choice or not?

Patience leads us to accept failure if we went wrong in our first step and makes us learn from the mistake and correct it to start again properly."The road of thousand miles starts with a step", but must be the right step with patience.

 

Patience leads us to:

Take the right decision at the right moment.

Self motivation and management

Listening to elders

Discern between the right and the wrong

Develope our selves by learning from our mistakes and also develope our relationship with others

Farhana's answer is a very elaborated and gave every point useful to the question.

In addition to her answer, this is the age where you think you know every thing, but know nothing, gets deceives easily by sweet words and cheaters, so develop a skill of understaning what is true and what is falsehood, and who is correct and who is cheater. who is true to you and who is making use of you for the time being.

Moreover being responsibe, sincere and honest you can develop above quality within you whereby you can excel in all your endeavours and responsibility. Also this is the age where you can create your goals and put them on implementation to achieve step by step by continuos assessment of your own or by real closed one. My 2 cents.

Thanks Farhana for the invitation. Regards.

Take advantage of the successful and unsuccessful experiences of others to achieve goals quickly

by Anmol Srivastava , Project Engineer , Dar al Handasah

20-30 years is the period of energy, aspirations and confidence. However, might also get consumed in experimenting, dreaming and unqualified anticipation. So the most difficult thing one must learn at 20s is the art of grasping wise employment of words, time and value because these are major drivers of development.
