The early to mid twenties is perhaps the time of your life –when college is behind you and the world before you .It also is a critical time when the choices you make now would most likely have a great impact on the rest of your life. Since this is the time where many have not yet joined the workforce , have just graduated or are soon to do so, it also is a period of great learning opportunities .Lessons learnt at this age can help shape the kind of person you become and the decisions you take later in life.
Get out of your comfort zone
…again and again
As they say maximum risk has the potential to give maximum profit , so we advise you to get real world experience. Start businesses, talk to people, ask someone out who is out of your league, go skydiving, become good at small talk and enjoy this time by not taking yourself too seriously.

Then you sell during marketing activities, team meetings, conferences, business development, customer service, product management, engineering, user experience and more –sometimes your ideas and sometimes your business plan. A solid foundation in how to sell can give you a wide advantage over your colleagues and competitors.

Invest in relationships

Meditate more, worry less
Worrying is a useless brain activity that which not only sucks the energy out of you but is never helpful at changing our life and circumstances. As proven by research that twenty minutes of meditation is equivalent to two hours of sleep , yoga can be a fruitful activity to take up too. Meditation is a great way to stay focused and remove daily stress from your life. Staying focused, planning and acting while staying positive and enjoying the present is the way to go.
Travel more
If there is one thing that really broadens your horizons and teaches you the most valuable experiences while giving you lasting memories -it is travelling to places far and wide.
