What would you advice to your 20-year-old self?

I was such a nerd during high school and University and started my first business young, so I'd probably tell myself: live a little.

Happy Birthday! 🎁 Trust the process. If things don't work out for you, it's for a reason. Sometimes rejection leads to even better things.

Launch something whilst you're at University!

Hi Martina, Thanks for bringing this point. I would advice to start at least 1 business.

The future wouldn't be as easy as you think gonna be. It would be full of pain, surprises and uncertainties. But at the end they are all worth it and it's your choice to embrace it. So be more open to ideas and possibilities but at the same time listen to yourself more than anyone else. You would be proud of yourself, you always are :)

Here's a piece I had written on my 30th birthday. Many people who read could relate to this - https://medium.com/@kapilgadhire... Hope you all enjoy reading this!

"Go with the Flow, don't be too rigid on what and how you'll be happy in life." I always thought I'll be only happy when I'm working on my own thing, which I did but they didn't could not cross the finish line. Then I had few opportunities to work on projects which I could share excitement with but they were not 'mine' to say. This created a mental barrier, between me and the work. Slowly it started hampering my output and we decided that it's working. It took some good time and destroying some good opportunities, until I realised that you gotta be more flexible and find happiness what you have in hand. For example, I recently got this opportunity to build this product 'Boltic', which we are launching tomorrow on PH. I got my energy back, as soon I melted that barrier and went in with all I got. Hope this gives you a perspective, best wishes!

The sooner you start that business, the better. Just take that leap of faith, starting early gives you more time to fail and learn from your failures. There are only two types of business founders: (1) founders who have experience and (2) founders who do not have experience.

Be brave, try new things, and learn for yourself without any reason. And cherish time.

I'm 20 and in the same boat as you! I think my 8 months into my being 20 I've learnt how important exercise is, I'm already getting a creaky back!

The most important advice I'd give to someone of 20 years age would be not to take the advice of others. By that I mean: learn from others; learn from those who have gone before you; learn from your surroundings, your schools, your friends, but ultimately follow your own heart. Happy Birthday!

Keep on digging the same place to make a well; Failure is not the opposite of success; it's part of success.

The advice which I will give is that right from the very beginning of the career, focus on solving real world problems than to work for organizations with a brand value. Nevertheless, I did inculcate that mindset within myself and now I am part of building Boltic - a no-code Big Data Ops platform which is launching tomorrow on 11th of Feb!

@martina_hackbartt In my opinion just read as much as one can, gather more and more knowledge, focus on skills rather running after degree and Buy as many Bitcoins as possible :)

-Don't stop studying -Do all possible courses, during most vacations. -Choose a sport and grow in that sport simultaneously. -when you have an idea run with it. -Don't hesitate to ask for help. -your parents will guide you to take safe paths, don't always listen. (Don't get me wrong)

Stay open-minded and try to see things from other people's perspective!

Work hard as well as work sharp

get physically and mentally fit don't mess your self in between wrong thing and wrong habits

could be work on my reading and writing skills

Listen to your gut. Human makes decisions based on knowledge and feeling. Remember to take both in consideration when making decisions.
