Six lessons you should learn from your mistakes before you turn thirty
In life you will make a lot of mistakes. At the end of the day, mistakes may not be that bad. Mistakes are an essential part of growth. I've had my share of mistakes. If I had to look at my twenties, I might have liked to do things differently. I would have wanted to take more risks, fight more battles, or do more projects. In fact, before you turn thirty, you'll have enough energy. But as you get older, your passion and enthusiasm may begin to wane, but this is a good time to look back and see what you did right or what went wrong.

Here are six lessons that can change your life, if you learn them before you turn thirty:
It's not about what people think:
The opinion of the people does not matter. Only your opinion matters. Most often what you are trying to do may not correspond to traditional methods. However, you must understand that our goals and aspirations are all unique to us.

Looking back now, I'm going to focus more on not worrying too much about those things that are beyond my control, and people's opinion is one of them. So, according to Gary Vinarchuck, "learn to focus on your personal matters." You'll learn that the spotlight was never on you, and that others were probably preoccupied with their own problems anyway. So why are you exaggerating their expectations of you?
Life is not fair:
Life has never been a fair game and never will be. Good things can happen to bad people and bad things can happen to good people. You may wonder why you have to be the victim so many times, but it doesn't really matter. You have to learn to be responsible for your actions, and never let what others do affect the good in your heart. Sometimes the bad guy will win, and the cunning guy will be the one who gets the good deal and not the champion. It's life. Have a sound mindset nonetheless. The way you deal with bad things, and moving forward can define your personality and make you an influential person. Make victory always in your heart.
Failure is good for your learning process:
True, no one likes failure. When you're younger and in school, it somehow generates within you that failure is bad. And that those who fail come last. But in the real world, things don't always work that way. Failing while continuing to move forward, and seeing each failure as a learning process, pushes you toward growth. You will be better prepared for future aspirations when they fail. As long as you don't stay down and can get up again, you'll survive. By the time you turn thirty, you'll realize that failure isn't that bad after all. Those who fail more often are more willing to deal with success.
Money is not everything:
You are young and you may be passionate about the freedom that money gives you. But money is not everything. In the business world, money shouldn't be what you put in the first place. According to Adam Legas, founder of Nanodyr8, "We are here to be a river and not a reservoir, so let money become a tool to help you achieve your dreams. Instead of focusing solely on money, focus on value. Think about how you can contribute to your surroundings. Think about how to communicate with others and solve their problems. Build new relationships, and appreciate the ones you have now.
Take care of your body:
Undoubtedly, your body is your means to success. If you take care of your body properly, it will take care of you too. Most people when they are young may not understand how their bodies can affect their success. But trust me, your body influences your success. The effect of alcohol on your body varies as you age. It is essential that you take care of your body so that you can achieve the success you want. Exercise, not because you want to impress anyone or burn calories, but because you will feel good when you do. It will reduce your stress and improve your mental abilities. Plus a little physical activity for your overall well-being is not a bad idea.
Learn to live with the goal:
As we get older, we may have to channel our energy and time appropriately. When we're young, we seem like we're everywhere. When I was young, I looked like I was carrying a lot on my shoulders. I was living a life and doing things I thought I had to do. Going to school, getting a job, getting married and having children seemed like the right things to do. But sometimes we need to have a clearer perspective on those things we really want, or those things we need. Saying "no" to a lot of things isn't a bad idea. As you get older, you discover that it's not about working harder, not having a life to live, it's about doing the things that make you happy. It's about finding a purpose and living your life along a well-defined path.
You must live life. You have to believe in yourself, and understand that the teacher has failed much more than the beginner has tried. Making these mistakes is not at all bad if you are willing to move forward to higher levels with steadiness, persistence, and flexibility. Good luck to you on your journey to the top.
