Advice to my younger self

Dear Jørgen, 14 years

  1. Don’t postpone. Get it done now.
  2. Learn to debate and discuss.
  3. Don’t over-commit. Learn to have slack. Both in your budget, time and energy.
  4. Have a sense of humor. Laugh at yourself.
  5. Do stuff at your level of uncomfortable.
  6. You live in Norway, learn how to spend time, and enjoy being, in nature.
  7. Move abroad. Embrace getting new impressions.
  8. Experiences > gear
  9. Learn languages. Maintain them.
  10. Work out. Have specific goals, and work to reach them. You’ll be thankful.
  11. Start your own business. Now. And go big.
  12. Learning is a non-stopping process.
  13. Don’t become just good. Become the best. The trick is picking which area to do this within.
  14. Meet, talk, and discuss ideas with others. As much as possible.
  15. Give yourself a break.

Sincerely,

Jørgen, 28 years
