I turn 30 tomorrow. what's some advice you can give me to get me through the next decade successfully?
Most people died at age 30 for the last 10,000 years. There are probably notable civilizations furnishing elderly folk before the bronze age collapse. Still, these last hundred years don't necessarily mean a death sentence if you live in the first world. Also, regardless of skill or connection, the global economy is heading down, and nobody can get a leg up. Internet and automation will see more to that. Lastly, nobody ever accomplishes everything in droves before 30. We just take pleasure in being young before we're valued as a species.
I'm going to turn 20 very soon. What life advice would you like to give to me?
I have a lot of advice for you. But most advice needs to be tailored to the individual. Thankfully your new beginning is right at the beginning of your life. Also, believe it or not, your brain is not even fully developed yet. Your decision making process is not fully rounded until around 23 or 24 years of age. Your brain is extremely plastic right now so anything you learn now will be easier than after 24. After 24 you may have different love interests than now, you might have a different preference for work as well. Don’t let this become apparent when you are 30 and have had 10 years of a career under your belt. Spend a couple of years searching ruthlessly for what you are inherently good at and what you absolutely love doing. Surround yourself with positive individuals. The types that are like what they are doing and have good things to say about life in general. Drop anybody that has a victim mentality, they will weigh you into a mire of drugs and alcohol or just warp you into thinking like them. Be around people you want to be like. Actively listen. DO NOT think about what you are going to say while the other person is speaking to you. Listen to them intently and form a thought after they have spoken. There is a lot more but I would need your guidance to direct what you need.Also read this book, there are many more amazing pointers that have changed and continue to change my life. 12 rules for life by Jordan Peterson. Also, here is my blog Workingmanhands.com. Its aim is to support the working man and woman in anyway I can think of.

I'm turning 24 tomorrow and I feel very old that I'm going to cry, how can I overcome this?
I feel as if I haven't done all the things that I should've done as a teen, or from 20 to 23. 24 just seem so old. I've been crying a lot these past few days, especially when I think of the 1990s. I also cry when I think of my mother aging. How do I accept aging?
Today I am a woman turning 50, what's your best advice?
Love your life! My 50th birthday made me feel I had finally arrived as an adult, that I didn’t have to be perfect, that it was okay to be perfectly me.I have been choosier about how I spend my time, and with whom. Smarter about my money—choose value over price, cheaper often costing more in the long run. More willing to stick my neck out when it’s called for, but it’s completely up to me when it’s called for. Saying “yes” when I can but being much better at saying “no” when it’s not in my best interest.At 50, you are neither young nor old; although we can feel the beginnings of aging, barring chronic issues, most feel pretty good most of the time. While the edge of youthly enthusiasm has worn off, we can still build up a good head of steam when warranted.At 50, you have been through some life challenges. You have wisdom that was simply out of reach when you were younger. Wisdom comes from living life, not reading about it, and it settles into your bones. You can feel the right thing to do and it comes more naturally to do it.It’s easier to know who your real friends are. It doesn’t matter whether you see them once a year or once a decade. Even if it’s through phone or text, you are there for each other ad if you hadn’t been apart.We value life more as we begin to lose some of our near and dear ones. We say “I love you” more freely, hold fewer grudges, rejoice more in others’ achievements, hurt more for others’ trials.An interesting challenge: to live each day as if it were your last but at the same time as if you would live forever, for what is our legacy but that part of us that lives on?Have a wonderful year, with many good things ahead.
I’m turning 18 soon and I’m stressed about what to do now. Can you give me advice on what you learned through adulthood?
I'm still fairly young, but I would say I've learned a few things since 18.Be honest. If you are afraid your sincere beliefs will hurt someone's feelings, so be it. Lying and concealing things will only get you far in the direction you don't want to go.Respect your parents if they are a part of your life (not applicable of they were abusive, of course). It isn't until you're older that you begin to realize just how much they sacrificed for you. It's so easy to get angry and resentful — they did the best they could and they made you. Call your mother regularly. Get your dad something he's always wanted. Treat them the way you'd want your kids to treat you.Save money. Forget what others tell you. Ignore what the media tells you you should consume, be it pizza, shopping for new clothes, vacations you won't grow from, etc. Don't get into student loans if you can avoid it. Set aside as much of your income as you can while still enjoying your life.Take care of your health. Learn how to cook healthy food, dont get into the habit of eating out or consuming junky crap. It will catch up with you. Find some exercise you enjoy, and stick with it. Form healthy relationships and if you're a religious person, let the faith be your pillar, not a hindrance. Take care of your mental health.Find a direction in life. Whatever you love doing — pursue it in earnest. You won't reap benefits from anything you dont spend thousands of hours doing mindfully. Don't choose a career path because of money. You'll be miserable and by the time you're 30, there might not be any money left there anyway.
