5 Dumb Mistakes We Make In Our Twenties and How It Affects Our Lives

in entrepreneurship •  7 years ago 

As young adults in our early or late twenties, we are in a stage of our life where we are bound to make some critical mistakes (Yes! Mistake is a part of life and we often grow from it) but as the saying goes ‘Prevention is way better than searching for a cure’ and there is some life mistake we make consciously or unconsciously that has a way of affecting a big part of our adult.

So, on today, I tried to compile some of these dumb mistakes young adult make (I have made some myself) and how to correct them

#1: We believe our twenties is a period to have fun and forget all consequences

This is surely a mistake, although our twenties is a period to find ourselves and have fun while doing it, it is also a period where the consequences are greater and our decision have a great impact on who we aim to become in future.

#2: We still believe we have lots of time left

If you are 21 and you still honestly believe you are still quite young and have all the time left than you are surely kidding. We are not suggesting that your twenties is a period to have all the answers to life (I surely don’t have them though) but it’s definitely a period to start asking some question and finding who you truly are

#3: We act like we know it all

I have met quite a number of young adults who believe that the little exposure they have gotten is enough to guide them through life – they stop trying to learn new things, pick up new ideologies and therefore make the biggest mistake that can ever be made. They become stagnant

#4: We get distracted by love and all the rubbish surrounding it

Love is beautiful (no doubt) but in our twenties, it’s easy to mistake lust for love and then give up everything for that person which we thought meant the world to us.

#5: We chase after fast success and quick money

For the guys; raise up your hands if you don’t play Sport Bet? Now am not bashing the betting company but our urge to chase after fast means of success and easy money is one of the biggest mistakes we make in our twenties
