“What You Should Do at the Age of 20”

‎what you would do over the next two years:‎‎ 1. I would read 4 non-fiction books every month. That means I would have read almost 100 books in two years.

‎‎‎2. I would read 3 finance or economics-related articles every week, preferably from Forbes, Entrepreneur, or Investopedia—either by downloading or printing them. That would add up to around 300 articles in two years. Each article would take just 3 minutes to read.‎‎‎

3. Every Friday, I’d watch one trading video—each around 18 minutes long. So by the end of the year, I’d have watched 50 trading videos.‎‎‎

4. After watching each trading video, I’d summarize it in one minute, either in front of a mirror or by recording myself on my phone. This would help me practice public speaking. Over the year, I’d have 50 mini public speaking sessions, which would help me overcome the fear of speaking publicly.‎‎

5. I would learn MS Excel properly. It would take me just 3 months to become proficient.

‎‎‎6. I’d join a driving school and learn how to drive.‎‎‎

7. I’d learn 3 new English words every day. Over two years, that would add up to around 2,000 new vocabulary words.‎‎‎

8. I’d write a one-page essay or article every day, even if it’s full of mistakes. I’d save them all in a folder. By the 100th article, I’d see a huge difference between the first and the last. Whether I tried to improve or not, the growth would happen naturally.

.‎9. Without expecting replies, I’d write letters to 20 Nobel Prize winners in my field of passion—whether it’s economics, physics, or any other subject. Real letters, not emails. This task may sound tough, but once you start planning and doing it, you’ll realize how much time we actually waste—and how much we can achieve by redirecting even half of that time into meaningful action.‎‎In just two years, you’d become a new version of yourself. A smarter, bolder, stronger version. A “kickass, smart, boss” version of you! Life is awesome—build it, love it, and enjoy it.‎‎‎‎So, if you are 20 years old, you can start doing these things today.‎‎Thank you!‎
