What did you learn too late in life?

What did you learn too late in life?

Motivation

Bollywood is garbage.
Looks matter. Agree or not. (A hot Fboy might be a topic of discussion in girl’s DM but an average looking honest guy won’t be. “personal opinion”)
Your parents aren’t dumb. Even if they’re not educated. (because we all think this during our teenage. Their words have always come up to be true in my life.)
Don’t be ashamed of your parents’ financial conditions. They strive hard to provide us the best in every aspect. I’ve been ashamed of our financial conditions but I was a kid back then. Don’t make this mistake.
Counselling is must in every stage of life. (specially in teenage.)
A choice that seems promising today might become your greatest regret. (I chose Petroleum Engineering despite my parents asking me to try SSC, UPSC. The oil industry was at boom when I decided and in the 2nd year itself it shattered my dreams. People were getting fired. I was still hopeful but now during coronavirus pandemic we all saw crude prices reached negative. And yeah, now I’m preparing for exams.)
Learn investment. If you’re 14–18 year old reading this answer, you’ll be enough thankful if you start learning about investing today. Just btw, even if you’re 25+ you should start learning if you’re totally unaware.
Prefer books over TV and youtube. (Carry Minati won’t send you money for your monthly expenses, neither BB or Ashish Chanchlani will. Go read some self help books.)
Talk to your parents. They don’t tell us what’s bothering them. Always observe and talk.
Time is much more valuable than money. I wish If I could buy back last 4–5 years of my life.
Anyone can leave you any moment. Your bestfriends, your girlfriend, your family. Nothing is permanent. Learn to be self sufficient.
Work on your skills. If you don’t have any. It’s high time you learn and develop some.
