The things that I learned in 25 years

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. — Albert Einstein

Today is my 25th birthday. last year, so many horrible things happened. Somehow, I’m still alive. In honor of that, I want to share the lessons of my 25 year-old.

1. Humans are selfish. I’m talking about happiness that everyone need it, some people doing things for themself, some people doings thing for other. In fact, the reason behind their action is to make themself happy. But “the more you want for yourself, the more you will feel disappointed , but on the other hands, the more you want to give no one can stop you”. So learn the begin of journey from “me to you”
2. Your mom is right all the time, but when she is wrong, she’s still the best because she always want to do the things for you that no one else would ever offer to do.
3. Give people a chance, First impressions are usually wrong.
4. If someone don’t like what you do, as long as it does not hurt anybody. you don’t have to try to convince them, or you don’t have to care.
5. No one perfect, we are the devil for someone else in their life.
6. Staying at home can be more enjoyable rather than going out.
7. There is a place that you can throw all the bad things out. It called “Sea”. I like to go there to rest my body, my heart sometimes I just yell until I’m feel better, and then take a deep breath and watch the nature.
8. Watch more sunset than Netflix.
9. Wake up early, and go to the gym in the morning are not the complete worst.
10. Take cold showers. it sound like a weird, but you should imagine the last time that you shower with cold water and how you feel about it.
11. Create your Morning routine is the great part to start your day.
12. Most adult relationships are end up with benefit. God put people in your life for a reason, and removes them from your life for a better reason.
13. It is not easy to get what you want, you have to fight for it.
14. Life is not about being the best, it’s about being better than who you were yesterday. So you don’t have to pressure yourself too much, just keep going forward.
15. The best way to grow up is get out of your comfort zone. Travel solo is the great point to start, you’ll be amazed at the journey.
16. Think like a kid because when you were kid the things you think are funny, simple, and enjoyable.
17. Be yourself, both at work and home. Remove the mask.
18. Being in Debt can force you to grow up. it is one of the external pressure pushing you.
19. It’s better to send a card to your loved ones rather than a text message or Facebook post.
20. Reason lead to conclusion, but emotion lead to action. this is the part the I’ve learned from my job.
21. Don’t wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. The tree grow up each year. Eventually, I will grow up too.

Thank for reading my experience, if you think that it is helpful. Give me a birthday claps.
