Do not buy into the myth that your 20s and 30s are made to work hard.
Burnout in your early career will resonate throughout your entire life.

I often hear or read from people who suggest that you should work your ass off in your 20s and early 30s in order to make as much
money as possible and secure a career. While well-intentioned, it's necessary to keep in mind that this will inevitably lead to burnout, and that is extremely damaging.

It is very difficult to recover from burnout. It will follow you for years. It's mentally damaging.
For blue collar occupations, the same mindset can also lead to physical accidents which will have consequences for the rest of your life.

That back or knee injury you seemingly quickly recovered from in your mid-20s will suddenly be an issue again as you get older.
Sure, work hard, but remember you only have one body. Back problems stick with you for life. Things like hernias are expensive and time consuming to heal from. Don't sacrifice your well being for a job that will replace you without a second thought.

"You just graduated, this is a car I bought a while ago... It is a few years old. But before I give it, take it to a car dealer in the city and sell it , see how much they offer.”

The girl came back to her father and said: "They offered Image
400k because it looks very old"
The father said: Hold it and take it to the toks car dealer.
The girl returns to her father and says: "The pawn shop offered 250k because it is a very old car and lots of investments are needed to drive it again"

The father
asked his daughter to join a passionate car club with experts and show them the car.
The girl drove the car to the passionate car club, returned and said to her father: “Some people in the club offered me 2.8m because it is a rare car that is in good

You should know that how people treat you is not a reflection of your value or who you are.

#ThreadSeries 👇
Why you should know:

Shitty people are everywhere in the world. And sometimes even the best of people can do shitty things. Focusing too much on what you might have done to deserve being treated in a specific way, or wondering why someone you love would hurt you often
just leads to pain without solutions.

Quick disclaimer: This is a HUGE topic and there's no way anyone can get to the bottom of this in just a few paragraphs. This is just a humble attempt at catching the most important things
