    Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

      It’s precisely at times like these that investors need to be on guard against the next certainty. You don’t have to act on every forecast, hence i will suggest you get yourself a financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ETF you focus on.

    00:00: The key to your 20s is constant learning and keeping an open mind. Life should be on two tracks: adventurous exploration and focused skill-building.
    01:02: Avoid being one-track (focused solely on career) or five-track (scatterbrained). Find balance between skill specialization and varied experiences.
    02:23: Learning languages, like through Babbel, cultivates discipline and competence, enabling meaningful interactions in different cultures.
    03:19: Embrace a "two-track mind" in your twenties: be open to experiences while focusing on a core passion, funneling various experiences toward skill development.
    05:09: Maintain excitement by studying what aligns with your passion; combine adventure and skill growth for a fulfilling twenties.
    06:18: Aim to have learned, experienced, and discovered your direction by your 30th birthday, ready to take your pursuits to the next level.

      P.S. Isn't being multilingual detrimental to writing? Like isn't it best to only nourish one language instead of five and making a jumble that prevents you from writing as best as you possibly could? I speak Serbian and English and I know that when I watch a video in English, I think in English for the following hours and if something occurs to me to write, it always comes out in English. And needless to say I'm better at writing in Serbian 'cause that's what I'm exposed to more. If you are multilingual and such a good writer at the same time, then I guess you're quite unique, right?

    At age 20-22 I was burnt out and severely depressed with the drive for a degree, because my parents were indeed pushing it and I felt it was the way and only the way in life. Luckily I came out of that, managed to heal my mind and realised the importance of real skills. Studying is not the same as learning, and it's also important to discover and understand yourself.
    Currently teaching myself Japanese (great timing for the Babbel sponsor!) and got a part time job, all the while (finally) chasing after something I've always wanted to do. Good luck all, it's never too late. Thank you Robert for this video, I will be reading your books.

    32. Struggled throughout my teens and 20s to strive through a toxic environment and learned helplessness enabled by parental gaslighting. Never excelled at sports because I was manipulated to think “I wasn’t born for it”. Never had a long-standing relationship because I was convinced with the false idea that I wasn’t “good enough”. Never won any competitions or contests because I never even tried to. At age 28, after the straw that broke the camel’s back, I took the chance to stop playing victim and break the chains that bound me thanks to the only skill I have been ever consistent in: Japanese.
    I now live in Japan, slowly healing my wounds and learning new things little by little. I have been practicing turntable scratch mixing and started my a career from scratch with my English, Spanish and Japanese language skills as foundations. Sports may take a while, but as long as I’m still able to keep up, I will never give up.
    Even though I have always struggled with self discipline, life in Japan has helped me temper that, because of the many rules and norms this culture is famous for.

Thats not say say that they're doing wrong or bad, but your spot on with the two track mind. There's no in-between when talking to them, either it's all go or "playing it safe".

I did not enjoy my previous educational path, and the high stress and depression almost killed me. Now I am happy, and I am working on my creative outlet as a second track. Been learning game dev for the last 4 years, and finally making a large scale project in the game engine that I started building last year. Super happy with how my life is going now. Everything you say is true. Two-track is a sweet spot that took me 6 years of my life to settle on to find happiness. I still have other interests that I pursue as to not get burned out, but never at the detriment of school or my gamedev journey.

    This affirms for me that I did my 20’s correctly. I recently turned 30 and I was concerned about how well I stewarded my 20’s. I was on two tracks. First
 become a wildly successful chef and successful independent music label owner. Second
 learn at least 2-3 languages. (I ended up becoming low level fluent in Spanish and circumstantially fluent in French). I thought that since I didn’t get a degree or get married too that I failed my 20’s, but the truth is that it’s not good to a Jack of all trades and master nothing in your 20’s. That’s why life is often broken up into decades, and our goals should be too.

    You put it into words what I was thinking myself. I'm 20 atm, with quite an uncertain future ahead of me because I finally decided not to take the academic route, but the lack of disciplinary structure to my life feels like I can run down all 5 paths at once. I think youtubers and tech entrepreneurs can often glamorize this 5 path mentality that you talk about, ("drop out and start a business and become really successful" type thing) but there is really quite a risky element to it, being left with nothing solid to build the rest of your life with. Idk why this feels preachy, just voicing my thanks.
    Also the 'learn' part was great, intuitively i know I shouldn't be pursuing things I'm not truly interested in, and the fact of burnout and that you can learn much faster if you actually care makes alot of sense to me.

      a lot of these 5 path people come from well to do families where they dont need a traditional education because they went to expensive boarding schools and have vast social networks to get things done. The average person from a regular family needs to go to college to build stability a young age so they can have the freedom to do what they want later. What Robert doesn't understand is most suffering comes from people who didn't do the right things at a young age like getting a degree in a stable field and now they have to do it older with less energy, more responsibility, and stress.

Was also a dj for a whil3 and have a diploma in Music Production + HR. Still having a tough time really sticking with something . I like djing and producing music , I also like working out and wouldnt mind owning my own gym or my own business somehow. Not too sure how to start that though. I do currently have a small business online that I make video game currency with and sell it but I would need to scale that way bigger.
    A video for your 30s would be nice too Robert. People struggling to find that one thing in their 20s. I at times have had a hard time figuring out who I am and what I want to do. I enjoyed world of warcraft as a kid which led into becoming a great healer in the game... I just couldnt seem to stick with it though because I got afraid of commitment and gave it up. Was also young.. But still. Should have stuck with something.
    I also can talk myself out of anything because I can see so many different sides of each thing making it difficult.

      It makes us older people (57) uncomfortable too. What I have learned through study and intuition about AI is that there is no nuance. It works well for some things, and horribly for others. It’s based on algorithms and coding that is done by mathematicians and techies. These people are often very high on the Autism Spectrum. They don’t relate or process information like 90% of people do. This leads to the lack of nuance and outright errors. We need to be cautious of AI, but there is plenty of opportunity for all of us.

      Hello brother/sister
      If you are dealing with drepressing feelings i recommend to truly believe that it is not real.
      I know it sounds like something that doesn't make sense, and probably would remind you of Andrew Tate and all that sigma male thing, but I think we all agree that the mind is the most powerful thing we have.
      Realise that there are people in this planet that can completely and utterly convince themselves that they are cats, that they can fly or that they live in a computer simulation. Imagine if you absolutely convinced yourself that depression isn't real and that it cannot affect you, that those feelings are there, but that they can vanish in a blink, curing your brain.
      Imagine that you could competely convince yourself that you can achieve absolutely everything you put your mind to, and that your potential is limitless, that any kind of depressing feeling can't stop you and that anything of that is real.
      We live in times where our mind is the only enemy we have, and I truly believe, that thinking that depression is a clinical disease that can only be treated with chemicals or therapy, and that you can't get over it by yourself is a limitant belief, so, why would you want to believe it then?
      Why would you want to make your mind your enemy?
      I understand that there are extreme cases like PTSD or other mental disorders caused by traumatic experiences, but usually people with depression think that their life is sad because they have depression; when it is the other way round:
      You feel depressed because your life does not fulfill you.
      We all have bad times, but remember that you are not alone, that there are people in this world that have absolutely anything and that would exchange lives with you in less than a second for what you have.
      Look for meaning, be humble and appreciate the blessings you have been given, believe that you can achieve absolutely everything and that nobody is going to give it to you; realise that everything that happens to you is your absolute fault, and that depression isn't real. Be pissed off instead, and use it as unlimited motivation to achieve your goals.
      This approach to life saved me, and I hope it can help you in any way, or maybe just reconsider some things.
      Thanks for reading, and may God bless you.
      Have a nice day.

      @@jaimediez I don't really believe in pretending that the depression isn't there. But then again, the process of actively living for life rather than recoiling from depression because of depression for depression, isn't a terrible thought. It is just a bit more difficult when you are the one feeling the absolute lack in purpose towards socialising, living, working, growing, etc. when you can't find anything to make your time feel meaningful, it becomes very difficult to do anything. And then it compounds.

    Once you said that people who don't read history remain out of context and out of perspective of time. It affected me a lot. Now I feel that it was a very important statement made by you.

    Appreciate Babbel sponsorship, not only is a good app, they also sponsor good content too.
    Great advice, I agree we should have some capillary in life, having one ultimate goal, but allowing yourself to branch out and grow as a person with different experiences is a very healthy and competitive mindset at the same time.
