20 Things to do before age 30..

Dont wait to reach the age 30 and start lamenting why you did not live your dream, why you did not do alot of things which you should have done...let the word " i wish i should have done" be a vocabulary to you...

lets get down the countdown..

1. Be more outgoing. meet people, socialize, know the worldget opportunities, give ideas, grow!!!.....just a simple rule.. “Engage!”..

2. Ask about family history. ask your parents more questions about your family history while you can,still have them,we sometimes get so involved with our own life, and we focus in making them proud but we forget to ask em even for the basic questions, like how they met, what their first date was like, and so forth., please do while you can
 
3. Become financially literate. mmmh kosea vyote but ikija kwenye mahesabu have an A+....even when you cannot manage your accounts and whatever always  “Trust, but verify.”....my boss doesnt have a bachelor in commerce but he knows Accounts well even better than me.. 
4. Play the piano. get the connection...find the secret behind the Piano...infact go find and find  music school and ask the secret hidden in the piano.. 

5. Learn French. hehe,,its an additional language... The language seems so sophisticated and mysterious...(am learning portuguese,,,heheh)

6. Get handy. some people always want to be the one of those guys who, whenever something doesn’t work, straps on a tool belt and says, “I’ll fix it.”.."the complete self-reliance people". we cant do everything on our own, we need a second hand at tymz..use it!!

7. Be patient. Impatience is the official language of youth. When you’re young, you want to rush to the next thing before you even know where you are.
“Talent hits the target no one else can hit; genius hits the target no one else can see.” I think the key to seeing the target no one else can see is in being patient, waiting for it to appear so you can do the right thing, not just the expedient thing. Learning to wait is one of the greatest accomplishments one can have.

8. Listen more than talk. ....let the ears work more than the mouth//lips.
.
9. Career is never as important as family. The better you are at your job, the more you’re rewarded, financially and spiritually, by doing it. You know how to solve problems for which you receive praise and money. Home life is more chaotic. Solving problems is less prescriptive and no one’s applauding or throwing money if you do it right. That’s why so many young professionals spend more time at work with the excuse, “I’m sacrificing for my family.” Bullshit. Learn to embrace the chaos of family life and enjoy the small victories.(loved this...)

10. Being right is not always the right thing to be. learn to step away. You think being honest immunizes you from the consequences of what you say. Remember Paul Simon’s lyrics, “There’s no tenderness beneath your honesty.” So maybe it’s not that important to win an argument, even if you “know” you’re right. Sometimes it’s more important to try a little tenderness.

11. Cook more. my brothers, cook for em at tymz,,cook for yourself at tymz,hata kama hujui kupika let the effort be seen and appreciated..the author of this article gives his version "After I got divorced I missed home cooked meals and the only person I had to rely on was the guy in the mirror. Plus, I found it impressed women if you could cook a good meal. Once, very shortly after I started cooking for myself, I had a first date with a woman I really wanted to make a good impression on. Of course, I could have done the usual celebrity thing: fancy restaurant, signing autographs, wait-staff fawning. But I wanted this to be special, so I decided to cook for her, everything from soup to dessert. Some women get a little freaked seeing a 7’2” black man with a carving knife and butcher’s apron, but she appreciated the effort. Which was good because the soup was a little salty, the steak a little overcooked, and the flan a little watery…

12. When choosing someone to date, compassion is better than passion. I’m not saying she shouldn’t be passionate. That’s a given. But look for signs that she shows genuine compassion toward others. That will keep you interested in her a lot longer.

13. Do one thing every day that helps someone else. This isn’t about charity, this is about helping one individual you know by name. Maybe it means calling your parents, helping a buddy move, or lending a favorite jazz album to Chocolate Fingers McGee.

14. Do more for the community. This is about charity, extended to people close by whose names you don’t know. You can always do more.

15. Do one thing every day that you look forward to doing. It’s easy to get caught up in the enormous responsibilities of daily life. The To Do List can swallow your day. make sure you have one thing on that list that you look forward to doing.

16. Don’t be so quick to judge. It’s human nature to instantly judge others. It goes back to our ancient life-or-death need to decide whether to fight or flee. But in their haste to size others up, people are often wrong.
We miss out on knowing some exceptional people by doing that.

17. When breaking up with a woman, you can’t always remain friends.(this goes to my bros) the author says "I have managed to stay friends with many of the women I have dated because I truly liked and respected them. But sometimes emotions run too deep and efforts to remain friends, while that might help you feel better, actually might make the other person feel worse. Take the hit and let it go.

18. Watch more TV. Yeah, you heard right, i watch it day and night....

19. Do more yoga.  It isn’t just for the physical benefits, it’s for the mental benefits that will come in handy in the years ahead, when your house burns down, your jazz collection perishes, and you lose to the Pistons in a four-game sweep in your final season.

20. Everything doesn’t have to be fixed. Relax,Some stuff can be fixed, some stuff can’t be. Deciding which is which is part of maturing...
