Dude is 30 and thinks he is in a position to give out life advice... I'm 37 and nothing is figured out. Maybe wait another 30 years.
I just turned 54 and I'm only starting to figure things out.

Re: Bits of Advice for 30 Years
#12More accurate to say Smart people are curious - be curious.
Helping other people succeed guarantees nothing for you - people can be selfish - especially in business
Since romantic relationships are often an important aspect of one's life, I would also add: If you're interested in someone go talk to them.

#13> always do extra
What do I get by doing that?

I’d argue that this is mostly a collection of other people’s live advice.

#16Great list! I'm in my 50s and all of this resonates with me but when I was 30 I was missing a few. My top one at this point is "Help others succeed, and they’ll help you succeed in the long term." As I'm reaching the end of my career I can say that this behavior has been a winner 100% of the time.

This sounds more like advice that he's gathered or been given that seemed the best to him. I think that's fair. People give young people advice a lot. Also becoming a dad makes one feel quite a bit older. Now it would be interesting to see him reflect back on these in 30 years...

I’d agree with that. A quick skim says there’s nothing in that list I haven’t heard elsewhere. That doesn’t invalidate TFA, it is advertised as “collected bits”. But most does not appear to be original with the author.

Turning down advice on the principal that someone is "only 30" is going to leave you missing out on lots of good advice as well. People, regardless of age, may have insights that you lack. Throwing it out wholesale is as foolish as blindly accepting it.

> Helping other people succeed guarantees nothing for you
Sometimes helping people is an end in itself.
