Almost every crushing embarrassment you ever have will be traced back to your own lack of work and preparation. So work hard and prepare.

don't wait for motivation, never give up, never surrender, embrace failure, keep an open mind but make your own decisions, read for pleasure not for self improvement, and most importantly, have fun

Nothing matters except having positive experiences. So, if you haven't had positive experiences so far, you'd better start taking a lot of risks and hope you have one or more positive experiences in whatever domain you're seeking to enjoy, or you'll be doomed to cowardice and wasting away.

Work hard, be willing to take risks, love yourself, be kind to people you meet no matter what.

Good luck. I’m about to leave my 20’s, I’m an attorney and help people for a living, I’m getting married next week, and I love life.

work hard but also not too hard. I feel like I've wasted some of my best years because I was studying so hard in undergraduate. Got top grades, but that haven't really given me anything. should have partied more in undergrad and then worked harder in grad (where I'm going now).

Some helpful wisdom, which was told to me when I was in my twenties and which I have found to be true: Nothing is ever as good or as bad as you think it will be.
