The Biggest Mistake to Avoid in Your 20s #SHORTS

When we’re young, we often regret the things that we did, but as we get older, we often regret the things that we didn’t do. To minimize regrets in your 20’s, you should adopt a long term mentality. Don’t make decisions based on short term discomfort, but rather the benefits 5-, 10-, even 20- years down the road. Before starting Amazon, Jeff Bezos held a secure and well-paid position at an investment company in New York. He wasn’t sure whether he should stick with his job or quit, take a huge risk, and start this book company.

To aid him in making the decision, he turned to what he coined a “regret minimization framework”, or what others call the rocking chair test. He imagined himself at age 80 and imagined looking back – what would he regret more?

Taking a leap, starting Amazon, and taking part in this thing called the Internet that he believed would be really big, or not having ever tried? He knew that if he failed he wouldn’t regret it, but he would certainly regret not ever having tried.

Remember, your 20’s are a time to take risks and get out of your comfort zone. The more you put in during this time, the more you’ll get out of it.
